Via Henry Farrell, David Frum takes to BloggingHeads to analogize Mark Schmitt to Charles Lindberg. As a victim of this particular smear in the past, I can only say I'm always glad to be placed in Mark's company.

Frum is an embarassment to most Canadians. His mum, Barbara, is much loved & respected in Canada... it's sad to see the path he's chosen.
Not to nitpick but it's Lindbergh - with an "h"
And to see that Frum has the audacity to quote Mahatma Gandhi.
Wow, I've never seen Frum on video. He's very measured, and you can barely hear him in the beginning of the session. The Lindbergh smear is just stupid and idiotic.
Well, I guess this means that it's legitimate to compare David Frum to Joseph Gobbels . . .
So what's keeping that little shitstain Frum walking patrol in Baghdad?
If someone compares you to Lindbergh, just tell him to take a flying leap.
Perhaps next he'll compare you to Sir Edmund Hillary.
not to nitpick, but it's "Goebbels". That "h" at the end of Lindbergh is bullshit anyway. What a waste of a consonant.
and on the topic of Frum on BHTV, I'm a daily watcher and that was the most infuriating episode I've ever seen.
FYI, a 'Lindberg' is a Jewish Lindbergh.
And, of course, a 'Goldbergh' is the act of insinuating an opponent is an anti-Semite by comparing said opponent to Lindbergh.
In this sense, David Frum just pulled a Goldbergh.
Given Iraq, and the way congress is handling Iran (pushing us into war despete 75% public opinion against), I have new found respect for Lindbergh.
At least Matt isn't one of those Americans who use British spelling. Those people are morons.

Heads in the Sand
I must say that your persistent refusal to spell Lindbergh's name correctly is more than slightly odd.
At this point, I've got to assume that it's an artistic choice and not a typo.
