re: #623 RogueOne

I posted that earlier and admitted it confused me. If Frum were tossed because he wasn’t towing the AEI line this story doesn’t make any sense. If the secret AEI position was they were for the HCR and Frum wrote a piece in support of Republican concessions in order to get partial credit for HCR how did he not tow the line?

The problem is that the hired brains knew that Obama’s plan was probably pretty good but the management (and donors ) wanted a different result so the just told the hired brains to keep their mouths shut. Frum broke the rule. This kind of stuff happens. About 2 years ago Ayaan Hirsi Ali was hired by the Heritage Foundation and we haven’t heard a peep out of her since. Probably because she’s not on board with the American religious right agenda.
