What the Frum?

David must have been smoking some pretty heavy stuff to make this leap:

Took my kids to the multiplex on the weekend. The multiplex being in DC, close to half the theaters were showing Michael Moore's pseudo-documentary. But that's OK! Because the other half were showing the great pro-Bush movie of the summer: Spiderman 2.

Pro-Bush? Well consider this. Spiderman 2 is the story of a hero who is regularly belittled and ridiculed by almost everyone who knows him. Fashionable society despises him; the press lampoons and attacks him. Fashionable society despises him; the press lampoons and attacks him. ....The good news is that the movie ends with a barrage of hints that Spidey will soon return for another term .....

And in front of his kids too.

I join Juan Non-Volokh in calling this a great summer movie and note that I still can't come up with one thing from the movie that seems pro-bush.

However, Frum's point that almost everyone who knows bush regularly belittles and ridicules him does have a ring of truth to it and perhaps Frum will expand on this jiucy bit of gossip in future articles.
