5 Feet of Fury

David Frum accidentally explains why he’s turned all weird lately

Advocating big government in his new book? Underbussing Sarah Palin? Then complaining being criticized by the plebes is (sigh) soooo “wearying”?

(My closest relatives insist it was OK. Then again, my wife is a big believer in Judith Martin’s quip that the key to a happy marriage is the ability to say with a perfectly straight face, “I don’t know what you are worrying about darling. I thought you were very amusing last night, and I’m sure everyone else did as well.”)

Funny, I’d say the secret to a happy marriage is not getting your husband fired from the White House.

But what do I know? Not having one of the Ten Magical Last Names (Fulford, Richler, Atwood, etc.) I’m not a privileged, elite member of the Canadian Media Incest Society.
