neocons linger. why lord?

The Kinks had a great song, "I wish I could be like David Watts!" It was all about adolescent envy. Well I wish I could be like David Frum. Sometimes anyway. Frum’s a member of the new establishment, he doesn’t go away. Frum’s sister Linda Sokolowski was just appointed to the Canadian senate by the PM up there, Stephen Harper. She’s been active in the United Jewish Appeal in Canada. She’s married to a wealthy real estate guy and sports mogul. David and Linda’s mother Barbara was a major presence on Canadian media, back when we weren’t quite in the Establishment. I assume Linda’s as backward on Arab politics as her brother.  I thought we were done with neocons. Guess not. As Smokey Robinson said, First I look at the purse.
