“David Frum was fired because he stepped on Kristol’s toes too many times.”
That’s too bad. He should have been fired for being a socialist collaborator and stooge RINO deluxe. Whatever it takes, I guess.
This is about conflicts amongst the NeoCons.
David Frum may have criticized the GOP and the NeoCons' choice of Sarah Palin but he never pointed the finger at Bill Kristol. But that did open the door for other people to criticize Kristol over Palin.
Likewise, Frum criticized the decision not to negotiate on healthcare, but he never pointed the finger at Kristol. But Frum's article opened the door for others to point the finger at Kristol. Now weeks/months later here is thes Slate artile doing the same thing.
Like wise with Liz Cheney. What she said about the Justice Dept lawywers was eventually blamed on Kristol.
Bill Kristol has become a lightning rod for the GOP and, more broadly, the NeoCons have become a lightning rod for the GOP.
