Interesting take on Frum's predicament by Scott Horton here What Frum?s Firing Tells Us About Politics Today?By Scott Horton (Harper's Magazine) I don't necessarily agree with him about Frum- as John Cole puts it, "Here’s a man who came up with “Axis of Evil”, who wrote a book defending the Iraq War and advocating the same treatment for Syria, and who ultimately endorsed Sarah Palin even though he knew she was completely unqualified. His problem today was timing, not an excess of honesty or nobility."
