Friday's intriguing people
David Frum: The former speechwriter for President George W. Bush was forced from his job at the American Enterprise Institute on Wednesday.
Howard Kurtz reports in Friday’s Washington Post that the ouster occurred one day after The Wall Street Journal criticized Frum, saying he "now makes his living as the media's go-to basher of fellow Republicans" and accusing him of "peddling bad revisionist history."
In a letter to AEI President Arthur C. Brooks, Frum wrote that his departure after seven years as a resident fellow was not voluntary. Frum told Kurtz that "there was no suggestion by AEI" that his criticism of the GOP's health care strategy was the reason for his dismissal from the conservative think tank.
Frum is a CNN.com columnist and appears frequently on CNN news programs. Kurtz is also the host of CNN’s “Reliable Sources.â€
