I really detest this man.

Americans adore irresponsible, flashy celebrities. But they do not vote for them. Michael Jackson’s funeral crashed the Internet. Had he ever tried to run for dog-catcher, it would have been a very different story.
Sarah Palin is about to experience the weight of this rule.
Between her speeches and her book deal, she can reasonably hope to earn $10 million over the next two years. She’ll fly in private jets, sleep in sumptuous hotel suites, receive rhapsodic applause.
Yet there will be no escaping another story line. Faced with exasperating criticism and the accumulating cares of public office—she quit to cash in. Her admirers can excuse anything, but to the much larger audience of non-admirers, Palin will look a lot like those CEOs who wrecked their banks and the national economy while accepting huge bonuses for themselves. John McCain’s slogan in 2008 was "Country First." Palin’s in 2012? "I seen my opportunities, and I took 'em."

Who cares what that jerk thinks.
can you say irrelevant
What an idiot...
Good for her.
What a piece of work, this is just a gutter article. What scares them is that McCain believed in McCain Feingold and so artificially crimped his campaign. I think Sarah can do a lot better than $10 million and be ready to go.
I disagree with his first two sentences of this article. Yes, Americans do vote for irresponsible, flashy celebrities
Yes we know, but this will be the drumbeat of the MSM.
Does anyone really give a rip about what this Dan Frum guy thinks, anywise?
The “establishment” right has it’s collective knickers in a twist worse than the left over Sarah Palin.
If she’s as poor a candidate as they all so desperately need to believe, why not just let it go?
But, they just can’t quit her, lol.
I don’t but it is good to know how he thinks and those like him because they will try to destroy Sarah as they have tried so very hard. The Rombots are out in full force.
DON”T CLICK ON HIS ARTICLE....please. But I did enjoy Frum’s sad and envious account of all that Sarah will enjoy being a sought-after event speaker and a bestselling author.
Most politicians are rich because they are on the take... One that get’s rich writing a book is refreshing in a way...
The above is all she has to say.
Especially if several newly elected Republicans give Sarah the credit for winning their races!
Why is Frum so grumpy sounding, did is gay partner cheat on him?
“Americans adore irresponsible, flashy celebrities. But they do not vote for them.”
Wasn’t that what they did with Obama?
Unless you have terrorist William Ayers write you book for you!
I second that. A Canadian opportunist whose career got started back in 1991 when he attacked Pat Buchanan in a cover story at The American Spectator. An event which started my disillusion with TAS.
The Good Old Boys network really detests competition.
What is the matter with him?
