This was Frum's effort just a few days ago (24 October 2005):
"...Some friends of mine and I meanwhile have organized Americans for Better Justice (BetterJustice.com), which has raised money for a national television and radio advertising campaign to urge the withdrawal of the nomination of Harriet Miers. You will be able to see our spots very shortly on the site. They will be airing this week on "Special Report with Brit Hume," "Fox and Friends," the Rush Limbaugh program, the Laura Ingraham program, among other places.
"...The petition formally hosted here at NRO urging Miers to withdraw is also migrating to the BetterJustice site. If you have not signed already, please consider doing so by clicking here to make your voice heard.
Well a week is a long time so the knuckle draggers out in red state land must have forgotten already.
Umm NO David. When you put as much effort into overturning the Judical Fillibuster as you put into borking Miers, then I might listen. You decended into the political gutter, David, out of personal malice towards Miers. Conservatives are NOT going to forget that too quickly. We may forgive you eventually, but it will not be any time soon.
What would you have Frum do? Should he gloat over his "victory", pouring salt in the wounds of Miers supporters?
David Frum (born 1960) is a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, and the author of the first "insider" book about the Bush presidency. Born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Frum is what some may describe as a "trans-national" citizen. He remains involved in political activities in both the United States and Canada, and his editorial columns have appeared in a variety of Canadian and American magazines and newspapers.
He graduated from the University of Toronto Schools, followed by Yale University in 1982 and from Harvard Law School in 1987. The New York Times called his first book, Dead Right "...the smartest book written from the inside about the American conservative movement."
Following the election of George W. Bush in 2000, Frum was appointed to a position within the White House. Still a Canadian citizen, he was one of the few foreign nationals working within the Bush White House. He served as Special Assistant to the U.S. President for Economic Speechwriting from January 2001 to February 2002. In 2002, he became a naturalized citizen of the United States.
In January 2003, he released The Right Man: The Surprise Presidency of George W. Bush, the first insider account of the Bush presidency. Frum is widely cited as having authored the phrase "axis of evil," which he discusses in his book. As the title suggests, Frum also discusses how the events of September 11, 2001 redefined the country and the President. Frum writes, "George W. Bush was hardly the obvious man for the job. But by a very strange fate, he turned out to be, of all unlikely things, the right man."
Frum's latest book An End to Evil, was co-written with Richard Perle. It provided a spirited defense of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and advocated regime change in Iran and Syria. Furthermore, it called for a tougher policy with North Korea, as well as advocated the US take a tough stance against Saudi Arabia and other Islamic nations in order to "win the war on terror" (the book's by-line). The book received some negative reviews, with some claiming that it only served to further isolate America in the world's eyes. Fareed Zakaria criticised it heavily in a New York Times column, taking a jibe at the authors by suggesting, "To transform the world, you do actually need to engage in it."
Frum is the son of Barbara Frum (1937-1992), who was one of Canada's most respected and influential journalists and was widely thought to have liberal views. His father, Murray Frum is a real estate developer. David Frum is married to writer Danielle Crittenden.
Frum has written for The Weekly Standard, Forbes magazine, The Wall Street Journal, National Review, and has recently returned as a regular columnist for Canada's National Post.
Frum is Jewish and is considered to be a neo-conservative.
Frum strongly supported John Roberts, George W. Bush's nominee for Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court. However, like many conservatives, he opposed the nomination of Harriett Miers for the Supreme Court, on the grounds that she was insuffiently qualified for the post, as well as insufficently conservative.
Since May 2005, Frum has been a contributing blogger at The Huffington Post.
Frum sucks. He's about as trustworthy as a rattlesnake.
So who's Dave's next favorite "dark horse" Supreme Court nominee, huh?
What a piece of work he is.
Oh BTW, how many of you knew this about Huffy?
Arianna Huffington (born July 15, 1950) is an author and a nationally syndicated columnist in the United States. She describes herself as a "former right-winger who has evolved into a compassionate and progressive populist
Yep she started out as one of ours who found her niche by "evolving" to the Left. Wonder if David is considering following in her footsteps?
Oh but that's right, guilt by innuendo can only be used by 100%ers, never AGAINST them!
I will have a hard time with Coulter/Frum/Kristol/etc. for a long time. (Ann Coulter is forgivable, if sufficient number of her pictures are posted here on FR)
But the rest will have to prove themselves to ever be trusted again.
And I look forward to seeing what Frum does with the money he raised to rap Miers.
Is he going to use it to get the next nominee confirmed? Or is he going to use it as seed money for the new organization he started to further his voice in Washington?
