Blaming David Frum
15th July 2024
Which I am perfectly prepared to do.
There ought to be an opening in major media for an American Cicero or Cato the Elder, but our elite is dominated by unoriginal, zeitgeist-surfing zombies, like David Frum (another symptom rather than an exception).
David Frum, like Conor Friedersdorf, was once an intern at National Review, and then discovered that the money was greener over on the other side of the fence. It took him less time to turn his coat than it took Bill Kristol, but I’m sure he’s never regretted it.
