An Outspoken Conservative Loses His Place at the Table

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/13/politics/13letter.html?pagewanted=print

What happens if you're a Republican commentator and you write a book critical of President Bush that gets you fired from your job at a conservative think tank?

For starters, no other conservative institution rushes in with an offer for your analytical skills.

...[Bruce] Bartlett, 54...was dismissed in October as a senior fellow at the National Center for Policy Analysis...because his increasingly critical comments about Mr. Bush...had hampered the ability of the research institution to raise money among Republican donors.

In Sign of Conservative Split, a Commentator Is Dismissed

In the latest sign of the deepening split among conservatives over how far to go in challenging President Bush, Bruce Bartlett, a Republican commentator who has been increasingly critical of the White House, was dismissed on Monday as a senior fellow at the National Center for Policy Analysis, a conservative research group based in Dallas.

In a statement, the organization said the decision was made after Mr. Bartlett supplied its president, John C. Goodman, with the manuscript of his forthcoming book, "The Impostor: How George W. Bush Bankrupted America and Betrayed the Reagan Legacy."
