OK, which crazy, America-hating Commie said the following?
"Will there be accountability for these self-inflicted disasters? It’s one thing to lose an election over principle. But what principle requires the nomination of the inept and the arrogant?"Was it Howard Dean?
Howard Beale?
Cindy Sheehan?
Eugene Debs?
Saul Alinsky?
Sacco and/or Vanzetti?
John the Baptist?
No.
It is none other than David Frum -- one of Dubya's favorite Neocon speech-writing stooges -- who recently got himself tossed out of his fascist featherbedding gig at the AEI for not licking the wingnut bullshit pie-plate completely clean and then asking for seconds.
Doubling down on the irony, this was reported in the bouquet of linky-love Andrew Sullivan -- his Happy Rainbow Gumdrop Land Conservatism fellow traveler -- tosses to him every day, and without which Mr. Frum would run the very real risk of having to get an actual job: one that doesn't involve getting paid to spew godawful, idiotic, self-delusional bullshit.
Have a care, Mr. Frum; if the Lord of the Universe ever actually starts handing out "accountability" to the "inept and the arrogant" for "self-inflicted disasters" expect to find yourself spending a billion years scrubbing out toilets in the Malebolge of the Flatterers with naught but Andrew Sullivan's beard for a scouring pad.

Colbert had him jumping through hoops the other night.
His mother was one of the most respected journalists in Canada. She must have dropped him on his head when he was young.
Frum occasionally shows insight, but he's most valuable for telling tales about his own side or scolding them. Sometimes, he's applauded for saying the same things liberals have been saying for years, but a conservative acknowledging the bleedin' obvious is a novelty, like a talking dog. (Some crueler metaphors also come to mind.)
He's never fully abandoned hackdom. Like Brooks and some other conservatives, he's been marketing himself as one of them thar "reasonable" conservatives, suitable for the polite company of NPR.
