David Frum, is a Canadian-born "neoCon" journalist who is active in the both United States and Canadian political arenas. Frum was also a former economic speechwriter for President George "W"orthless Bush.
David Frum is now a resident fellow of the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative/neoconservative think-tank, as well as the Fraser Institute, a like minded think-tank based in Canada. On October 11, 2007, Frum announced that he was joining Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign as a senior foreign policy adviser. That factoid ought to tell you everything you need to know about Frum.
David Frum..the perpetually unhappy and miserable looking, snarling Bush apologist begins his Friday column by talking about the Sarah Palin $180,000 "garbage bag" fashion disaster...and launches into what may seem to be brutal attack of his own party. Unfortunately, Frum goes on to do exactly what he rails against. Republicans, especially Bush Republicans are just so pathetic, conrtadictive, hypocritical and clueless!
Our party has been crippled by an all-pervading assumption at the center that if you just don’t talk about bad news, it will go away: whether it’s an extravagant wardrobe decision - or a bad job creation record. Our leaders cocoon themselves, refuse to hear unwelcome news, and reward yesmanship.
There is obviously something seriously wrong with the decision making at the Republican center. It is this leadership dysfunction that should be the central issue in the race for the chairmanship of the RNC. Tragically however it is generally assumed that the frontrunner in the race is the current incumbent: a man who apparently thinks that stuffing unwanted things in trash bags makes them magically disappear. Meanwhile, the man who offers a charismatic, telegenic face for our party – Michael Steele – is disregarded because he has accumulated some ideological speeding tickets as he fought and nearly won a tight senatorial race in one of the nation’s bluest states.
Gov. Palin remains a controversial figure in the Republican party. But the moral of this particular story is not a moral that bears on her. The moral bears on the RNC, an organization whose leaders think that evasion is a solution. It’s time for new leadership at the RNC and at all the highest levels of our party organization.

Frum consistantly covered up and refused to admit the wrongdoings of the Bush administration. He continues to stalk the country as a Bush/Cheney apologist.....as does his favorite RNC candidate, Michael Steele. Both Frum and Michael Steele continue to deny the disasters of the Bush administration, thus Frum and Steele are the best examples of what Frum himself rails against...that "the RNC, an organization whose leaders think that evasion is a solution"..he might want to also include GOP leaders like himself if he wants to have any kind of credibility in the future!
