GOP Commentator David Frum Loses Job After Criticizing PartyUpdated 6:25 p.m. Eastern Time
David Frum, who wrote a widely-circulated blog post Sunday suggesting passage of the health care bill amounted to "
Waterloo"for the Republican Party, has apparently been forced out of his fellowship at the conservative American Enterprise Institute.
"I appreciate the consideration that delays my emptying of my office until after my return from travel next week. Premises will be vacated no later than April 9," Frum wrote in the letter to Brooks. "I have had many fruitful years at the American Enterprise Institute, and I do regret this abrupt and unexpected conclusion of our relationship."
In the Waterloo post, Frum, a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, wrote that the GOP and conservatives "suffered their most crushing legislative defeat since the 1960s."
"A huge part of the blame for today's disaster attaches to conservatives and Republicans ourselves," he wrote. "At the beginning of this process we made a strategic decision: unlike, say, Democrats in 2001 when President Bush proposed his first tax cut, we would make no deal with the administration. No negotiations, no compromise, nothing."
