Neocon David Frum also hates Palin

David Frum, a Canadian American and former Bush speechwriter most popular for the coining of this short phrase, “We cannot wait until the smoking gun comes in the form of a mushroom cloud,” and calling Iraq, Syria, Iran, and Libya the “axis of evil,” does not like the Palin pick. At his National Review blog he says “The longer I think about it, the less well this selection sits with me.” And in a column at the Canadian National Post Frum goes all out against Palin saying that the GOP will now concentrate more on abortion than on foreign policy (more proof the current GOP doesn’t care about pro-life issues?):
She has zero foreign policy experience, and no record on national security issues…
Should John McCain lose in November, Sarah Palin has just pole-vaulted into front-runner status for 2012. Should Mr. McCain win, her grip on the next Republican nomination will become a lock.
So this is the future of the Republican party you are looking at: a future in which national security has bumped down the list of priorities behind abortion politics, gender politics, and energy politics. Ms. Palin is a bold pick, and probably a shrewd one. It’s not nearly so clear that she is a responsible pick, or a wise one.
