Now that's a useful link. I'll watch the CSPAN.

But I'd caution everyone: Frum's not a policy guy. He was a speechwriter. He has as much to do with setting policy in the White House as Mary Mattalin should have/did. He's relatively young (my age) and with no substantive background (contrary to Ms. Rice or Mr. Rumsfield or any of the real players). He's "just" a wordsmith. A passable wordsmith who wishes he were King.

(And he's no Peggy Noonan. Of course, no one is.)

I know Frum. I distrust people with as much raw ambition for pure power as he has -- at least without a goal to go with it.

Thanks for your insight. We'll start a thread on Frumpy boy next weekend.

Oh, if he read your comments, would he know who you are?
