I had the chance to go bowling with former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney last evening. The result at FrumForum:
“NO BAGGY CLOTHES. NO CONSTRUCTION BOOTS. NO SPORTS JERSEYS. NO HEAD GEAR. NO RIPPED OR BAGGY CLOTHING,” screamed a sign outside Lucky Strike Lanes in Gallery Place-Chinatown. They shuffled by in dark, black overcoats, nodding quietly to the flirty volunteers at registration, themselves in matching black button-ups. They were big-time federal donors, and they were here to bowl with Mitt Romney.”

In FrumForum, I respond to Paul Wells on the Rights and Democracy issue:
“Paul Wells is undoubtedly one of Canada’s best journalists… I’ve always enjoyed the dose of personality that he infuses into his writing. In fact, I constantly referred to his fantastic book, Right Side Up, when I took ‘The Conservative Movement in Canada’ at McGill. All of which makes it harder to believe Wells’ reaction to my two pieces on Rights and Democracy last week.”
Also featured is a rebuttal to his criticism of my first piece, which suggests Rights and Democracy might have helped fund Durban II.

The scandal-ridden Rights and Democracy organization has another controversy to explain: How some $150,000 of Canadian taxpayer money is being spent each year on a Geneva office that isn’t even open – and why they are now paying an extravagant $3,000 per month for an apartment in France for its one staffer in Switzerland.
A FrumForum source from Geneva reports: the office is closed. Plus, one has to wonder – why does Rights and Democracy even have an office in Geneva?

Tim Mak At FrumForum:
Rights and Democracy – already under fire for financing groups with alleged links to terrorism – may have also contributed financially to the infamous Durban II conference, FrumForum has learned.
Also – evidence has emerged of data tampering at the Rights and Democracy headquarters in Montreal.

I’m in the editorial pages of the National Post today, writing about Rob Willington, the man behind Scott Brown’s historic Senate win in Massachusetts. And guess what? He’s Canadian.

My midnight reaction piece to the Brown win is up at FrumForum:
“The Tea Party movement has finally done what FrumForum has long been urging: they supported a less dogmatic Republican in a moderate state. But how long will this detente between moderate and conservative factions in the GOP last?”

FrumForum EXCLUSIVE: My interview with Scott Brown, Republican Senatorial candidate in Massachusetts, paints a picture of a hardworking candidate; a moderate, New England Republican; and, if elected, a senator that will be disappointing to the tea partiers currently backing him.
