My own view, Stacy, is that David Frum was rather brutally
ridiculed in that NYT Week in Review piece:
Mr. Frum is one of those who has undergone a conversion
(or two). His book "Dead Right," published in 1994, was a brisk
catalog of Reagan's failures (especially his failure to reduce the
size of government). Then, after writing speeches for President
Bush, Mr. Frum wrote "The Right Man," in which he characterized
President Bush's leadership as "nothing short of superb." But in
his newest book, "Comeback: Conservatism That Can Win Again," Mr.
Frum confesses that his former boss has "led his party to the brink
of disaster."
Constancy, it would seem, is not one of his strengths.
