McCain and Graham LIKE drones. Frum has been a pariah with the conservatives because he speaks the truth.

His biography is pretty wild; he is getting more liberal, but can you blame him?


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Frum

snips///

Frum was a fellow of the American Enterprise Institute, a neo-conservative think tank, from 2003 until March 25, 2010, when his paid position was terminated and he declined to accept the offer of a non-paying position.[21][22] Media reports noted that the termination came three days after Frum's strongly worded criticism of the Republican strategy on health care reform, but Frum said that the AEI had not cited his criticism as the reason for his termination.[21][23] It was also suggested that he was fired for criticizing Fox News, saying "Republicans originally thought that Fox worked for us, and now we are discovering we work for Fox.”[24
