Palin-"Thoroughly & Irretrievably Proven That She Is NOT Ready" (David Frum-Bush Speechwriter)
“I think she has pretty thoroughly — and probably irretrievably — proven that she is not up to the job of being president of the United States.”
John Aravosis (DC) · 9/30/2008 12:34:00 AM ET ·


A former Bush speechwriter and conservative columnist on Sarah Palin:

“I think she has pretty thoroughly — and probably irretrievably — proven that she is not up to the job of being president of the United States,” David Frum, a former speechwriter for President Bush who is now a conservative columnist, said in an interview. “If she doesn’t perform well, then people see it.

“And this is a moment of real high anxiety, a little bit like 9/11, when people look to Washington for comfort and leadership and want to know that people in charge know what they are doing.”

republicans.

2. I think that's the neoconservative elite turning on the archcons
At age 14 he was a campaign volunteer for a socialist candidate, taking an hour-long bus/subway/bus ride each way to and from the campaign office in western Toronto. He would read Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago, a paperback edition his mother had given him.
