AEI's David Frum takes on Rush in Newsweek

Perhaps one of the more controversial articles published this week came out of Newsweek, which featured a cover story by former Bush speechwriter David Frum, pleading with fellow conservatives to not allow Rush Limbaugh to become the voice of the Conservative Movement in the 21st Century. Bravo! Here's a great quote:
Rush is to the Republicanism of the 2000s what Jesse Jackson was to the Democratic party in the 1980s. He plays an important role in our coalition, and of course he and his supporters have to be treated with respect. But he cannot be allowed to be the public face of the enterprise—and we have to find ways of assuring the public that he is just one Republican voice among many, and very far from the most important.
