2. Rachel's humor, satire, and wit are GREAT!
Frum is a total sourpuss and probably
just unhappy that his party has sunk
so low.

8. yes, he was acting like a bitter child
who is losing at a game. He accused Rachel of putting herself in same area of negativity as Palin/McCain supporters and then has the nerve to complain that everyone should act like adults. If he is so worried about people acting as adults and handling things maturely, then why isn't he publically denouncing Palin and McCain and the filth they're attracting as supporters?

I love Rachel's humor, intelligence, and courage to address politics without straight on. She is also the only person in media thus far who dares to come out and call Palin a liar....which she is. Everyone else seems like they're trying to approach Palin with kid-gloves. Palin's an idiot, but she's not made of fine china. We need more people like Rachel in the media!

3. Attn. David Frum
If you are going for a "battle of wits" .... avoid
the Rhode's Scholars ..... they tend to be smart.

6. Dr. Maddow, THAT'S How It's Done.
David (another utter fail NeoCon) Frum....


Headline: “Axis of Weasels”

“David Frum, vacationing in southwestern Ontario, goes into a bike shop to get work done on his bike. The shop owner, formerly American, doesn’t recognize his Frumness and David is thoroughly pissed that his exalted status didn’t get him front of the line treatment. Later, someone tells the bike shop owner who this guy is. After the work is done, the bike shop owner adds $1,000 to the bill, calling it a homeland security charge. Much huffing and puffing over the bill, the owner holds his ground and Frum storms out, leaving his bike behind.”

(Frank magazine, July 2 ‘08, p. 19)


and.....

RIP Barbara Frum. His mother was a phenomenal CBC Journalist who, I'm glad, is not here to see her son act like a swarmy, fratboy fool. Rachel took him to the shed.

11. David really has fallen far from Barbara's tree, hasn't he...
I was youtubing Bob & Doug MacKenzie the other day (yes, there really was a Bob & Doug thread on DU over the weekend) and came across a CBC report on the pair that Barbara Frum was introducing. She was truly excellent.
