[Neil Gaiman], who I hate, [is] a pencil-necked little weasel who stole $45,000 from the state of Minnesota.Minnesota GOP House Majority Leader Matt Dean • Making his case for changing Minnesota’s funding for public broadcasting and the arts so that institutions have to compete for grants, rather than receive standard amounts of appropriated money. The way he exemplified this, though, was to fling mud at science-fiction scribe Neil Gaiman over a four-hour speaking engagement at a Minnesota library, for which he was paid $45,000. Gaiman’s response, via Twitter: “Minnesota Republicans have a “hate” list. Like Nixon did. I’m on it. They also don’t like capitalism.” Gaiman has also said that the money he received was donated to charity. source (via • follow)
