Yes, it's true. Incoming speaker John Boehner and majority leader Eric Cantor are demanding that the Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery close its featured current exhibit, which includes works by Georgia O'Keeffe, Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns, among many other evil communist America-hating artists. The Hill http://washingtonscene.thehill.com/...has the full story, in which the two new Art Critics-in-Chief of the World accuse the Smithsonian of conspiring to time the exhibit "to attack Christians during the Christmas season."
The article is a good if horrifying read, and it simply confirms the level of assclownery that is about to take place in Washington. The GOP has no ideas except retreads of its greatest hits, but we're all going to pay nonetheless, and, well, why not start with the arts?
