...................................................................................
On Friday, author and former Bush speechwriter David Frum joined the Morning Joe panel, where he shared his blunt assessment of the current GOP.
When asked who can lead the Republican party now, Frum responded that he believes the Republican party is a party of followership:
"The problem with the Republican leaders is that theyre cowards, not that theyre fundamentally mistaken. The real locus of the problem is the Republican activist base and the Republican donor base. They went apocalyptic over the past four years, and that was exploited by a lot of people in the conservative world. I wont soon forget the lupine smile that played over the head of one major conservative institution when he told me that our donors think the apocalypse has arrived, that Republicans have been fleeced and exploited and lied to by a conservative entertainment complex."

But who will tell that to the Republicans when they only listen to the ones who are lying to them?

I'm with you, I've been paying attention to Frum for years. He shoots no blanks.

Nice to see an ex-Bushie with a conscience. Anyone know what he stands to gain from this?
