This little story by Jeffrey Lord over at The American Spectator is a humorous look at David Frum and his ascension as conservative cult master with the chattering classes in Washington, D. C.
It is a good laugh, but the serious point is clear. That David Frum is a prisoner of the Beltway. That he does not realize the eventuality of the Republicans making a comeback will not be just a Beltway production. It will come from the states and some governors. And some state legislatures that will try new approaches. And that threatens the power that people like Mr. Frum, David Brooks, Kathleen Parker and Peggy Noonan have suddenly received, courtesy of the Beltway DDBMOWM.
It is a good time to remember all of this as the cult of the Beltway continues to try to diminish those outside their orbit.
Now, who will the people favor in this battle?
