— Ace Well, that's about what he said. He's concern-trolling the right, as usual, over Michelle Malkin's staunch defense of the candidate that David Frum actually told us we were intolerant stupid-heads for not supporting in the primaries.
So, we did that -- we voted for Mitt Romney -- and shock of shocks, now he hates Mitt Romney.
And Michelle Malkin.
And everyone on the right.
This dude's an angry guy. Angry, emotional, self-satisfied, egotistical, smug, and generally nasty to everyone who ever once agreed with him.
He's going to lecture me on emotion and hate? No thank you sir.
I think it's pretty obvious that Frum's transition is in its final stages. The final move is just securing that MSNBC contract.
After all, he's not going to be making much money as a novelist.

Frum is angry because he fell between two stools in career terms. He tried to hit the big-time in the US and has failed.
He can't go back to Canada and try to be the proverbial big fish in the small pond in that media-market because he's been away from that scene for two long and his motives for returning would be transparent to and found repellent by everyone there.
Frum's mother Barbara Frum was, for whatever reason, a household-name columnist in Canada, and unfortunately for him her son David has proved both too fat and too much of a fathead to reach the bar she set let alone surmount/surpass it.
Plus he married non-Jewish which doubtless did not, at base, truly please mother Barbara. There can be a lot of angst and rage tied up with that sort of emotional limbo-state.

That was this time last year.

The constant polling, and the horse race, wasn't as big a deal back then. The nightly news would actually lead with real stories rather than the manufactured garbage.
You could tell they hated Reagan, but they weren't hiding anything that Carter was up to, either.

David Frum wants to be the vangard of the "sane, rational right." Which just means the media pretends he's a moderate republican while he bashes republicans and chokes down democrat dick, gobbles the balls, gets sloppy deep to the point of gagging and begs for more through teary eyes, looks to the camera and says, "hi, daddy."

The media in 1980 did not try and cover up the hostage crisis in Iran, it was covered extensively, in fact the program "Nightline" on ABC went on the air specifically to cover the hostage crisis every night after the late local news.

I have a personal theory, I can tell when the polling internals are looking bad for Obama, because Bob Beckel on Fox becomes a nasty asshole. After the Dem convention, he was acting decent, but he has moved back into frothing rage against Romney.
This little hissy fit of Frum's is just another example.
If they were winning, they wouldn't be acting this way.

Frum voted for RINO Huntsman in the primaries:
The Washington, D.C., primary is set for April 3. I’ll probably cast a vote that day for Huntsman, if only to show support for a brave and independent-minded candidate — and in hope that a strong Huntsman showing will be interpreted as a call for a more modern and inclusive Republican party.

There was a fifth victim of the U.S. Consulate attack in Libya, Hillary's political career.

Sets him "straight". Is that possible? I don't know if Marisa Miller could set him straight

Frum's goal in life is to be "The House Conservative" for a major media (read liberal - leftist) outlet.
David Brooks has that position with the New York Times, and occasional appearances with the senile, decrepit and repugnant hack Mark Shields on PBS.
Although the WSJ is supposedly a "conservative" newspaper, that is true only of parts of their editorial staff. Peggy is there.
So maybe Brooks get a position at the Washington Post, or as Ace says, becomes the penultimate piss boy at MSNBC, where careers go to die. He is just the sort of masochistic pillow-biter to end up there.

He is a willing tool of the left, a beneficiary of the "strange new respect" they give any Republican/conservative who will bash the right for them. He must know that they would drop him so fast if he were ever to lose his usefulness to them. He deserves to be mocked for this - why shouldn't we marginalize him for this?

David Frum is the left teat offspring of Canada's, one time left teat, Barbara Frum, long time CBC crony. He does seem to trangender himself occasionally but a pinko by any standard...like most of the current CBC's crop of fart catchers these days...except for Rex Murphey.

Frum's mother was the Barbara Walters of Canada before Babawawa became a joke, so famous the Canuck version of Sesame Street patterned a character after her. Every name politician had to sit down to talk with Barbara Frum. Ironically the comic who parodied her used the line "But are you bitter?" Her son most certainly is. Dad was rich dentist turned real estate developer. My guess from his digs is David inherited a tidy sum and now struggles to be "relevent".

liontooth, I happened to be a young defense reporter in the Pentagon briefing room for one of the first Grenada operation briefings. I still recall the sarcastic "boo!"s that were hissed when a basic map of Grenada was projected on the front wall, before any briefers started talking. But I remember it was done in a truly humorous fashion - not to mock the US operation, more just to mine the ironic potential of this little unheard-of island being the "enemy" all of a sudden. As it turns out I'd been following things there fairly closely, so knew the players and the dynamics.
Though the main thing I remember is the error in the original edition of the game Trivial Pursuit, which debuted about that time and became the rage. One card said "what is known as the "Spice Island"? Answer was Madagascar (I think?). Well, in fact Grenada was also known as the "Spice Island". In fact, some of the info I got on the place came from transcripts of Spice Island Radio - the govt. radio station there. I protested the answer when playing the game at the then-gf's at Thanksgiving. I remember her father eyeing me suspiciously ("hmm, jerk who argues about losing at games..."), and thinking, yikes, I actually happen to have found an error in the game created by some unemployed Canadian construction guys on a cruise, and now her dad doesn't like me?
And that concludes my ridiculously obscure yet completely true anecdote for the evening.

What's this asshole famous for again? "Axis of Disappointment" or whatever laughable weasel phrase he cooked up? He's been riding on the coattails of a quotation that wasn't even his. His whole resume is three words, one of which was never even uttered.
Think about that the next time you have to get up at 5 am to get ready for work. This pudgy, two-faced bitch makes more money in a year than you'll likely see in a lifetime, and he's done absolutely nothing to earn it.
O/T, saw Hillary on Fox. She looks like SHIT. That's not a comment on her usual unpleasant visage - the woman looks ILL.
I'll never understand the right's below-the-surface fear/hope that Cankles was somehow strategizing to run in 2016. The woman is freaking hideous, and time is most definitely not on her side. She's painful to look at (I'll set aside the fact that she's utterly devoid of accomplishment, jaw-droppingly corrupt, and demonstrably incompetent at what few jobs she's ever had to perform), and that's when she's had an army of taxpayer-funded assistants slather spackle on her bloated mug for an hour.
If America is going to elect a woman president, it's not going to be an eye-burning hag. On the male side of the ledger, only lisping, androgynous fancyboys like Matt Yglessias and Ezra Klein and, well, pretty much every other liberal "intellectual" who was born with a damaged Y chromosome, are going to pull the handle for a crone.
Is that shallow? So what. The only reason a sleazy non-entity like Hillary isn't working a street corner is because she married a serial rapist who happened to belong to a political party that celebrates serial rapists and occasional murderers so long as they're sellable to the Joe Six-Pack retards in the electorate. If she weren't a woman, she'd probably be dead from a hot dose by now, just as a white Barry Soetoro's career ceiling would involve pushing paper in the basement of a third-rate law firm in a fourth-rate suburb of East St. Louis.

In his 2003 book The Right Man, Frum endorsed Bush only for his war-making; Bush's "compassionate conservatism" was something Frum condemned as small-ball, too much a "bits and pieces" thing with not enough Grand Vision. In other words, he was not bothered by Bush's deviations from conservatism, but only that Bush's deviations were relatively small and incoherent.

The proper conclusion is that those who praised him till he got that reputation are not to be trusted.
