Dear Arthur,

This will memorialize our conversation at lunch today. Effective immediately, my position as a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute is terminated. I appreciate the consideration that delays my emptying of my office until after my return from travel next week. Premises will be vacated no later than April 9.

I have had many fruitful years at the American Enterprise Institute, and I do regret this abrupt and unexpected conclusion of our relationship.

Very truly yours,

David Frum

I won’t even warn him. I don’t care if the door hits him on the way out.

MSMBC probably has openings for sell-out conservatives.

Make that, DLTDHYAOYWO.

That’s good. I was wondering if there would be any consequences to him for becoming a Bambi Groupie.

Otherwise known as liberals.

David, you're nothing to me now. You're not a brother, you're not a friend. I don't want to know you or what you do. I don't want to see you on television, or read what you write. I don't want you near any conservative conferences. When you see my friends, I want to know a day in advance, so I won't be there. You understand?

With apologies to Michael Corleone.

About time—but congratulations, AEI!

In a few months, when things have calmed down, ask him if he’d like to go fishing. Or hunting with his old friend Dick.

"Memorialize?" Make be laugh. Good riddance dip$hit

This is a crucial loss for the conservative movement right when we needed the most support.

With David Frum gone, there can be no hope of any more conservative wins.

[Skepolitic]

As a former, and possibly future, supporter of the AEI, I don’t regret his departure one single bit.

Good riddance.

[Skepolitic]

MSMBC probably has openings for sell-out conservatives. You left out the word "phony".

AEI is not very conservative any more.

[GeronL]

Frum and AEI are not conservative

[Chaguito]

Maybe a little more conservative after April 9.

Dude, some satire is funnier than other.
