More than once in my travels in Alaska, people brought up, without prompting, the question of Palin’s extravagant self-regard. Several told me, independently of one another, that they had consulted the definition of “narcissistic personality disorder” in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders—“a pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy”—and thought it fit her perfectly.

This is VERBATIM from Andrew Sullivan's latest "article". So Frum can't even think for himself, but has to plagiarize Sully!

Frum is explicitly excerpting from the VF article in each of the shaded “Items” in his (Frum’s) article. It's lazy, but it's not plagiarism, since he does attribute the various “items” to the author of the VF piece.

This must have been when Sullivan was trolling the gay bar...

Cheers!

"narcissistic personality disorder"

That's homo-ese for "self-respect".
