Conservative Think Tank Fires Former Bush Speech Writer

HeadlineMar 26, 2010

In other fallout from the healthcare vote, David Frum, a former speech writer for George W. Bush, has been fired from the conservative American Enterprise Institute. His dismissal came just days after he said the passage of the healthcare bill amounted to the Republicans’ “Waterloo” moment and that it was the “most crushing legislative defeat since the 1960s.” Frum is best known for penning President Bush’s “axis of evil” remarks in the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001, but in recent months he has been publicly attacked by the Wall Street Journal editorial page, Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin.
