Sorry -- I'm dead tired and I'm not expressing myself well. I meant it more in a hypothetical sense -- I could see a hypothetical situation where it would be appropriate -- or at least not glaringly inappropriate -- for someone in her position to go to a Broadway musical. Something along the lines of one of the NBC relief concerts -- "After 5 full days of personally filling sandbags, the Secretary of Bed Linens hosted a special $50,000 seat fundraising performance of the Tony award-wining musical Spamalot."

In this specific situation, I think we're agreed that those in power positions should lay off the public funtimes.
