Dick Morris Strikes Again

Dick Morris' amazing political prognostication told us with great certitude that this election was going to be between Hillary Clinton and Condi Rice not so long ago. Yet even knowing that I still eagerly read all his columns. He's the crack of political insiders. You know you're ingesting something bad, but he makes it go down so smooth.

He is like Clintons Scott McClellan. I notice the Democrats dont care for him too much anymore.

Also I watched that program and it was aired I believe either on the second day of that two day stretch or the day after. The question is why are they suddenly tied. He opined because hes paid to opine. Hes paid to entertain.

Isnt that what Bloggs, newspapers, Magazines, Networks and Cable is all about? Truth was the first casualty of war. This is war. No one cares for the truth.....they just want to win the war.

He has no credibility- ever since joining FNC out of spite (he was angry at the Clintons). At least McClellan's claims are rooted in fact. Morris is a tabloid commentator--- gossipy and nasty-- I don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth.

Kritter -- I got to meet him and listen to his spiel when he did a book tour and stopped in St. Louis. (I didn't later get to meet Al Franken, which would also have been fun.) It was the same spiel he gave on the radio when I heard an interview and no doubt the same spiel he gave at every book tour.

I subscribed to his "Reports" at that time and continue to get them to this day, and I discount them. He has become a Republican party hack or more so, an anti-Dem party hack. He was particularly anti-Clinton earlier this year (when Clinton was the leader, definitely up to Super Tuesday, over Obama) and is now anti-Obama. To me he seems to be doing this because he is resentful at how the Clintons treated him when he became a liability to them with the prostitution scandal, and he's been attacking them and the Dems ever since. Why attack other Dems? To hope to get in the GOP's good graces, I suppose. To me he seems like how I envision poor Andrew Carnegie's father, who made cloth by hand and when seen by his son for the last time, he was pitifully reduced to selling (without much luck) his now-overpriced products in the new industrial age on a steamboat. That's what Morris is doing -- pitifully hawking himself to the GOP these days with anti-DEM alarmism.

At least McClellan's claims are rooted in fact.

OH my lord. Of course they are. We all know that the domestic assistant press secretary set in on foreign policy discussions of top secret nature. Of course he did.

Dick Morris is telling the truth when he speaks about Clinton. Isnt he. After all he was in the White House so he must have known everything that went on.

Dick Morris is the jilted ex of the Clintons. Sour grapes, axe to grind, chip on shoulder- all of it.
What does this say though? It says if you are a Hillary or Bill pariah- you run reactionarily to the Right for hugs and cookies.

He's got a regular spot in the NY rag, the Post. 'Nuff said. ( to quote one of my personal heros Stan Lee)

Exactly. The problem is that Morris doesn't really care if he's speaking the truth as long as it hurts the Clintons. He can't get over the fact that he was fired by them and replaced by the wiser, less combative David Gergen, who helped Clinton rehabilitate his presidency.

McClellan still admires and personally cares for Bush.

DLS- That sounds like a fair assessment of Morris. He doesn't seem to actually believe in any political ideology beyond his personal ambitions.

At least McClellan was hoping that his book would serve as a warning about the poisonous effect uberpartisanship can have on a new administration. He followed Bush when he was governor-- and was able and willing to work with both sides in the Texas legislature. McClellan did not agree with the attempt to install a permanent Republican majority.
