Dick Morris-Who is this Jackass?
What the hell? He's on the morning news here in Chicago talking about how 9/11 was the worst day of Clinton's presidency???!?!? He's also whoring out "Fahrenhype 911" and overstock.com. It lists him as a former Clinton advisor... What is his deal?

2. He's a toe-sucking Murdoch whore
And every prediction he has made has turned out wrong. So let's hope he's predicting a big win for Junior.

5. He says he'll predict the win at the signing of his crappy book
But with all his hate directed at Clinton, I'd say he's firmly in the Bush camp.

3. Dickhead Morris is, unfortunately, a former Clinton staffer
Someone must have given him the intravenous Kool-Aid, because now he spews hateful RW vitriol like the others.

8. Clinton originally met in secret w/ Morris coz of Dick's sleazeball rep
Morris has always had a name as a sleazy operator with no natural political base. He'd work for whoever would pay him. He used to be pretty smart, tho like many better men, his mental strenths have waned with age. "Triangulation" was a morally uncompassed survival tactic, not a real leadership style, but in some ways it saved the Clinton presidency.

6. He's a former Clinton adviser
He was fired on the day Clinton accepted the nomination at the 1996 DNC when it was found that not only had he been visiting a prostitute, but he had let her listen in on private telephone conversations with the President.

7. Isn't he the guy who
was caught courting a prostitute while married a la Swaggert? Pretty much disgraced but won't go away gracefully?

10. That's Not All: He's Cousins to Roy COHN *and* Jules FEIFFER
despite the typo in the link:

In order to understand Morris's relationship to the jading of the voting public it is necessary to examine his career and history. Dick Morris has been around politics for his entire life. Growing up in Manhattan, his father Eugene was a prominent real estate lawyer who was very familiar with tactics of persuasion. Eugene Morris was responsible for deals that created properties such as the Lincoln Center. At an early age he taught his son all about political favor. Eugene had learned his lessons about political action from his uncle Al Cohn. Cohn was a Democratic boss of the Bronx. When Dick Morris was still very young his father abandoned him and Cohn raised him along with his own son Roy. Ironically, according to Time magazine, Roy"grew up to be one of the most hated and feared right-wing power brokers of his generation."(Pooley page 26) In addition to Roy Cohn, Morris's cousin is Jules Fierier, a liberal cartoonist. Morris saw both sides of the political spectrum from a very young age.
