  1. I missed that one but I was interested in David Frum explaining the reason for the astonishing anger in the states against health care reform. He said it's caused by fear of the economic uncertainty AND by the 'entertainment' aspect of the talk radio shows where stirring up the emotions is their bottom line.

  2. I get the impression that David Frum is one of the honest conservatives. There's a clip of him discussing Fox News (http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201003230020):

    "Republicans originally thought that Fox worked for us, and now we are discovering we work for Fox. ... the thing that sustains a strong Fox network is the thing that undermines a strong Republican party."
