Now Here's a Movement Conservative!

Blogger and friend of the site Robert Stacy McCain makes his case for why he should be David's replacement on Marketplace at the American Spectator:

My deepest sympathies regarding the recent news that your longtime token "conservative" commentator, David Frum, has decided to resign his position with your program.

Mr. Frum's confession today that he has come to "recognize that my views are not very representative of the conservative mainstream" certainly must mark a sad day for you and all his friends at National Public Radio. Mr. Frum remarked in his farewell notice that he has suggested "potential replacements from closer to the present GOP consensus," and I'm not sure whether my name was on that list. I have long considered Mr. Frum a friend, despite the frequent complaints from my conservative comrades who routinely denounce him as a "treacherous Canadian jackal," etc.

Despite our friendship, however, perhaps my name would not have been foremost in Mr. Frum's mind among those whose thinking represents the "GOP consensus," given my frequent and at times vituperative denunciations of Republican Party leaders as untrustworthy and unprincipled (e.g., the GOP's support of Dede Scozzafava). And it is true, as you may have heard, that I havevowed to "wreak vengeance on the worthless RINO-hugging GOP Establishment sons of bitches" who changed the date of the Florida primary and thereby ruined Christmas.
