Hugh Hewitt has the transcript up on his radio conversation yesterday with David Frum. Here’s an excerpt and the link:
HH: Look, in a paragraph that says it’s the language of cult? You name me in a paragraph that says cult?
DF: I’ve moved from you with that, I’ve moved from talking about you to talking about Rush Limbaugh.
HH: Without a paragraph break.
DF: But when I talk about you, but when I talk about you, I’m sorry, one of the vices…if I have, you know, if you’re going to accuse me of all of these terrible things, if you’re going to accuse me of all these terrible things, we need to have a little perspective here on one of the vices of this medium, which is the invitation to narcissism. I am not insulting you. I did not insult you. I said you were disobliging. Pretty hard to be milder than that. And in the column I wrote, I use your words to make a joke. And I didn’t have anything hostile to say about you. I would certainly never call you these kinds of names, because I do recognize, actually, you’re a different cut of person from a Levin.
HH: I am…wait a minute. I’m not…Mark Levin is my friend. I have practiced law alongside of Mark Levin for 25 years. He is an extraordinary intellect…
DF: Well, I wouldn’t go as far as that.
HH: He is a very principled lawyer. Well, on what basis? How do you slander Mark Levin? On what basis?
DF: How did I…sorry, I’m saying I wouldn’t go quite as far as you just did, but go ahead.
HH: What would you say about him? He is an accomplished lawyer. Are you a lawyer, David Frum?
DF: Well, I graduated from a law school.
HH: And did you pass the Bar?
DF: I didn’t ride the Bar.
HH: You never sat for the Bar?
DF: No.
HH: Then on what basis do you get off and attack Levin’s legal credentials then?

I just read the rest of that interview. What a slimy piece of excrement! Frum is a drive-by artist, like Hewitt said! He attacks with no basis and then whines when he’s called on it.
Yea Hugh Hewitt! DF is an elist blowhard.
…or maybe he has more of a ‘wanna be’ thing going on. Who would invest years in getting a degree from a law school and NOT sit for the bar? I had a boss like that one time. He went to grad school to get an MBA, then dropped out one or two classes shy of the degree. He was a complete idiot and ruined the company. I see some parallels here.
I love this line from the original article:
HH: “… And it’s because you wrote this sloppily, you did no research, you can’t back it up, you didn’t bother to call me. In fact, it is the worst kind of drive-by punditry that I have seen in a long time from you.” ROFL
….and that is ‘elitist blowhard’. ….come to think of it, e-list blowhard works too.
…and the lead in to what Sgt. Tim posted was spicey too.
“HH: You know what? I can’t swear, David. I can’t swear. But I have really had it with this stuff. Your drive-by treatment of fellow conservatives is outrageous. And then not to be able to back it up and defend it by citing line and verse, is outrageous. It’s slanderous. It’s the worst kind of yellow journalism practiced by drive-by leftists who you ought not to have anything to do with. And I am P.O’d about it now.
DF: I’m sorry, are you, you are now saying that, the way, the things you just said, that’s responsible talk?
HH: Yes, I am, because I’ve got you on the air talking to me, and I’ll let you tee off on me. But when you drive-by me in Newsweek, when you put on your blog that in essence accuses me of hypocrisy, you don’t recognize it, and you won’t own it, and you can’t cite anything, David Frum. You are an outrageous example of the worst kind of yellow journalism out there. And the way you treat Limbaugh and Levin and Hannity, who do 50 times the work of keeping conservative principles alive in this country, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
DF: You know, that…I’m afraid that what you just said just demonstrates a core point, that you would set no limits on yourself. So you say, I say you’re disobliging. It’s hard to imagine a milder word of criticism.
HH: In the word that uses cult? Wait a minute. That’s just so absurd, David.”
The real third party NY candidate is Scozzafava, not Hoffman. Both the RNC and their candidate have become as illegitimate as the recent Nobel Peace Prize. She may have gotten the official party endorsement but is about as republican as Olympia Snowe. No one likes to lose a house seat when stakes are as high as they have ever been but she is unprincipled and unpredictable as any extreme moderate ever was. Yet it is the inimical, supposedly big-tent RNC itself, which suffers from an identity crisis, which has given America, and not just republicans, a forgery; an almost exact replicate of what the other party has to offer.
As far as the 3rd poison pill alternative distraction in the NJ republican governor’s race it is unfair to compare the candidate with the NY representative race where a conservative republican would most likely succeed if the RINO were not in the way. Likewise Christie would almost certainly prevail if the 3rd party, alternative liberal independent were not in the way. The difference between the events is that in one case the problem was created by the RNC while in the other situation the challenge was created by the DNC (or certainly enjoys their support). In both cases two-thirds of the choices currently represent democrat liberal ideology, which is not a small obstacle where narrow margins often establishes victory.
Frum is another forgery, with the same pedigree as Haggle, Snowe, Collins, Grahm, McCain, Specter, Chaffee, Shays, Leach and others. The only thing that gives him any success is his prominent and extraordinary failure, which is no small achievement when it comes to the amorous infatuation displayed by a media looking for some facsimile of a republican that is willing to criticize conservatives who are RIIP’s (Republicans in Ideological Principles)… in other words republicans who understand and seriously believe in Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness and the importance that the right to acquire, own, keep and use property relates to those beliefs.
HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!
Oh, my side hurts, Frum is as Frum does.
Ooooweeee what fun! The guy is so elitist, he thinks that when he slanders a better man than he is, that questioning of his verbiage is an attack. What a hoot! The guy has toasted coconut marshmallows for brains.
David Frum, you have opened your mouth, and removed all doubt, YOU ARE A MORON!!! Signed Frank Collatt

I’d like to try out a joke I just thought up, tying together this item along with recent news about Brittany Palin’s ex …
What do David Frum and Levi Johnston Have in Common?
1. Both hail from north of the 49th Parallel.
2. Both dislike Sarah Palin.
3. Both are desperate to attract media attention.
4. Nothing either says seems relevant to anyone.
5. Neither can get more than $25K posing for PlayGirl.
Whatever the jerk makes you can count on him giving plenty of it up for several decades worth of child support. I’m sure his son will ultimately appreciate all the negativity he is saying about his grandmother.
