Reach his voice mail and you learn not only that he's out of the office, but that he's on a book tour. He is promoting The Right Man, which according to DavidFrum.com, "is the first inside account of a historic year in the Bush White House, written by the presidential speechwriter credited with the phrase 'axis of evil.'" Frum's coinage of "axis of evil" was revealed in a tacky episode last March when his wife, the writer Danielle Crittenden, bragged of his achievement in a mass e-mail.

"I think it's pretty clear that he took this job in order to write this memoir," adds conservative columnist Robert Novak. Frum and Novak clashed last year when Novak reported that Frum was fired from the White House after the e-mail incident. Frum and the White House both denied this.
