David Frum “Mistweets” about Andrew Breitbart says Roger Simon

A literateur like David Frum should know never to put anything on permanent digital media – like Twitter – that can be easily contradicted. It can come back to haunt you. His Friday morning Tweet … .@AndrewBreitbart So tired of this junk about cocktail parties. Pls recall Andrew, you sought (and got!) an invitation to one of MY parties.… is, to be kind, so much much horse hockey.

How do I know? The party to which he is referring was for my book BLACKLISTING MYSELF. It was co-hosted by the Frums and by Barbara and Michael Ledeen. Both Michael AND I invited Andrew Breitbart. He didn’t seek an invitation. I sought him. I knew he would be in Washington and I wanted him to come. He was gracious enough to attend. End of story. Except for Frum.

Now that that’s cleared up, allow me to be a little self-serving. Blacklisting is coming out this month in a new paperback edition from Encounter with more material and a new title – TURNING RIGHT AT HOLLYWOOD & VINE: THE PERILS OF COMING OUT CONSERVATIVE IN TINSELTOWN. If you didin’t get it in hardcover, you can now read it for less money with more and updated chapters. Also available on Kindle and iBooks. As my great aunt would say: Such a deal!

Sheesh. I do want to note for Mr. Frum, don’t bother to delete that tweet. It will only guarantee that I’ll post the screen shot.

Love that you cleared this up. Someone should tell David Frum that lying to make a point is never a good thing on the world wide web.

Not seeking an invitation from you, Mr. Simon, doesn’t exclude the possibility that Breitbart sought an invitation from Frum himself.

Roger, will they be coming out with “more and updated chapters” in the Kindle version, too? I don’t want to order it if it is remaining as is.

I realize it must be tedious for you and your colleagues to cite each and every BS utterance made by people like Frum. And I admit, sometimes I tire of reading them. But, it appears to be the only way to keep them from telling whoppers constantly. Keep it up and maybe they’ll learn….some day.

Delicious stuff, to see Frum unmasked yet again.

Day by day, Frum renders himself less germane, Jackson.
