It’s not comedy all the way through, but things turn festive around the 13-minute mark when Ziegler yells at Frum about the party needing to punish the “traitors” in its midst and embrace the “warriors.” Give credit to Ingraham for a brilliant bit of scheduling here: These two really are the most vocal spokesmen for their respective Palin factions, pro and con, on the right. It’s a treat to have them together this week of all weeks, and an interesting contrast in styles. Frum is trying to box while Ziegler is throwing roundhouses. Well worth your time, even if Frum does miss an opportunity to challenge Ziegler’s “warrior” ethos by noting how well Bob McDonnell did in Virginia playing it low key.

Lest you doubt Ziegler’s basic point about unfair treatment, please note that even “serious” newspapers are now running reviews of her book written by people who admit that they haven’t read it. I’ll leave you to Doctor Zero for your exit question.
