Was he fired? It sure sounds like it. It was likely over his dissent from the GOP party line of all out opposition to Obamacare.
I don’t think “conservative” think tanks requiring strict adherence to GOP or movement “conservative” orthodoxy is necessarily a good thing, but my concern would be with them purging dissenters to their right. That the moderate and neoconish AEI felt the need to purge Frum for deviating to the left says something about how far left he has drifted.
Addendum: Here is Richard Spencer’s take.

The isolation of David Frum continues. If he’s no longer with AEI I doubt if Standard or other neocons will have anything to do with him either.
Amazing when you think about it. 10 years he was a White House speech writer. Now, he’s blogging from the basement surrounded by his geeky friends. How the mighty have fallen.

I bet the homosexual Satanist Alex Knepper will be loyal to him to the end.
