1. He's an extremely talented whore
I mean that in the nicest possible way--he's a brillian pollster and gave President Clinton some good advice, but he also had many republican clients over the years.

There's a bit in Hillary Clinton's Living History in which she mentions him coming to her, encouraging her to issue a statement of capitulation in the whole white-water mess, then her husband could pardon her. She says that she thinks that advice was being delivered by Morris for his conservative clients.

2. Biggest turncoat I've ever seen ..
Wouldn't surprise me in the least if he was a pug mole.

The man has absolutely nothing good to say about any lib person or idea in the news cycles.

He's always trashing libs on whatever show he's on. The man is slime.

14. How can you be soulmates without a soul?
Morris sold his soul to :evilgrin: long ago and Linda the Hutt never had one to begin with.

4. Clinton Wars is the ultimate account on this
Morris had some strategist gifts that helped Clinton as governor and at one time in the White House (a mad egomaniac whose very limitations were useful during the chaos of the attacks). Blumenthal recounts how, during Hillary's speech at the Dem convention Morris came frantically to ask them to stop the publication of a NY Post story (the toe sucking). It was funny since he was talking to people who were previously smeared and he always asked them to play it cool. When it came to himself, it all changes. The scene ends with Hillary speaking, everyone applauding, Morris getting ignored.
That kinda explains why he's now writting for NY Post, mostly attacking Hillary. And of course, any Dem coming along will do.

12. Actually, Clinton did deck him and damn near punched him
with a closed fist years ago and that came from Dick Morris himself right about the the time Hilary's book came out. Even though Morris is often a liar and a pervert, I'd like to believe that is true.

10. When they get close
they cannot lie so successfully. They can't help but be revealing and instructive even if their motivation is false and tainted. When Clinton met Gingrich that fateful day and Gingrich HAD to tell him they were going after him no matter what, Clinton grew up. Which I find alarming in a modern pol considering ample evidence that their competitors and "friends" in the political business want their scalp on a pole. Clinton was a disastrous naif like Parnell, careless at times like Kennedy. These monsters will get you even if the world is smiling your way.

I think Clinton was smart in then getting MORE insight into their dark world, though I doubt he was devious enough to sort out all the poison Morris was feeding him.

A successful campaign of lies and evil that does not want to reveal itself simply goes quiet, sidesteps and says nothing. Saying anything, even a falsehood REVEALS and creates a trap(WMD's). You HAVE to really worry then when the deceivers feel: a) bold enough to lie b) bold enough to get up close to the victim c) baldly tell you the harm they are going to do to you.

That means they think they have reason to believe they have nothing to fear. Hopefully it is overconfident arrogance. Hopefully good people are listening and it is not too late. Today it is not Clinton, it is humanity getting the message loud and clear.
