NE Dem. Official Ousted for Wishing Scalise Dead
A volunteer official in the Nebraska Democratic party has lost his position after a recording surfaced of him saying he was glad Congressman Steve Scalise had been shot and hoped he died.
This shows the difference between today's Democratic and Republican parties. When Democrats find out about things like this, they take swift action. When Republicans make similar statements, others ignore it, make excuses, claim it's fake news, and then, maybe, a few days or weeks later someone issues a half-assed apology.

This week (five months after the incident), the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued a public reprimand to Hunter acting on a recommendation from a county ethics board. Hunter has filed suite against the ethics board.

Also from the review:But a spokesperson for the Guthrie told BroadwayWorld that "Delta was a season sponsor of our mainstage season that year; the support didn't include productions in the Dowling Studio, which is where Julius Caesar was produced."
Charlotte, North Carolina-based Bank of America also pulled sponsorship from the Public Theatre as well (see tweet below). BofA doesn't provide financial support to the Guthrie.
There is a difference between "inference" and damn near look-alike.And, because Caesar is cast as a tall, lanky black man, the Obama inference is a bit too obvious
But had they hung Caesar instead of stabbing him, you can bet the outcry would have been heard all the way to Rome.

The difference between "inference" and "damn near look-alike" is the difference between someone being polite in a review and someone trying to make a political point on a blog or chat board.BackInTex wrote:

Re: NE Dem. Official Ousted for Wishing Scalise Dead
http://money.cnn.com/2017/06/12/media/j ... index.html"Throughout the 20th century and into the 21st, the rule has been to create a recognizable political world within the production," Andrew Hartley, the Robinson Chair of Shakespeare Studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, told CNN. "And often people in the title role itself look like or feel like somebody either in recent or current politics." According to Hartley, the modernization of "Caesar" began with the 1937 production by Orson Welles, who made his Caesar a "Hitler, Mussolini clone" and was focused on the rise of Fascism in Europe rather than the fall of the Roman Republic.
Shakespeare's Caesar has since been made to resemble a number of other political leaders, from Lousiana's Huey Long to British prime ministers Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair to President Barack Obama. "This is a pretty common trope," Hartley said. Before his take on the Trump era, [director of the NYC play Oskar] Eustis put together "Caesar" productions in Providence and Los Angeles in the early 1990s that placed the play in a modern American setting. The playwright Tony Kushner, who has collaborated on work with Eustis, noted in a 1991 letter to the Los Angeles Times that in Eustis' version of "Caesar" playing at the time the title character was "a deliberately composite demagogue, equal parts Huey Long, Lyndon Johnson, Kennedy." As he did in this version, Eustis also appears to have re-created an American First Lady in the form of Caesar's wife Calpurnia in those two earlier productions, which made reference to Jackie Kennedy.

It's Gregg Henry, who has a long career in TV and movies as a character actor and usually plays villains:Bob Juch wrote:The NYC Caesar looks like Conan O'Brian.
And if anyone actually remembers the play Julius Caesar, the assassination of Caesar doesn't turn out well, either for Rome or the conspirators. They all wind up dead and the even more autocratic Marc Antony winds up in power.

Marc Antony definitely does not look anything like Mike Pence. It's Elizabeth Marvel. And Corey Stoll plays Brutus. Both Stoll and Marvel have been on House of Cards in earlier seasons.
