Republican commentator David Frum loses job after criticizing GOP health-care strategy
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/25/AR2010032502336.html?hpid=topnews

Three days after calling health-care reform a debacle for the Republicans, David Frum was forced out of his job at the American Enterprise Institute on Wednesday.

The ouster also came one day after a harsh Wall Street Journal editorial about the former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, which said that he "now makes his living as the media's go-to basher of fellow Republicans" and accused him of "peddling bad revisionist history."

3. Is there a "good" revisionist history?
:shrug:

Seems that's what they are seeking.

4. Frum's better off.
I don't expect him to become a Dem or anything, and I certainly hope the Repubs continue to shun his advice.

8. Bashed by the Murdoch Street Journal, eh?
Now there's a badge of honor.

Coming with being fired by the American Enterprise Institute, a phony neoconservative think think that's about as intellectually honest as the average teabagger, Mr. Frum is getting a barrow full of medals and awards this week.

So, let us salute Mr. Frum and hope he finds employment to replace the lost income.
