To all of you who hate Dick Morris, Hillary was the one who got him for Bill.
"When Bill Clinton lost his governorship, it was Hillary Clinton who commissioned Dick Morris to advise the Clintons on a no-holds-barred campaign to retake the governor's mansion. At the start of 1995, when Newt Gingrich and company took over Congress and the Clinton administration looked in danger of becoming irrelevant, it was Hillary Clinton who installed Dick Morris in the White House, along with his sidekick Mark Penn, to "triangulate" by distancing Bill Clinton from the Democratic Party and moving the Administration rightward. (When Morris was subsequently discovered to have a penchant for the toes of prostitutes the White House dumped him but kept Penn on.) And now Mark Penn is the "chief strategist" of Hillary Clinton's campaign."

1. Morris also did some pimping for Bill
They exchanged their demeaning views on women with each other.

17. Hillary must be pretty crazy when even Bill is afraid of her
Rowlands quoted the political consultant as saying of his influence over the president: "They all know who holds the leash . . . that's around Clinton's neck."

Rowlands also recounted an episode in which she said Morris let her listen in on a phone conversation with the president:

"Hillary answered the phone and she said the president was exercising at the moment and she would get him . . . and when (Clinton) came back he sounds really mad . . . and he said, 'Look, Dick, I would prefer you not use this phone anymore. You can understand Hillary is upset, my wife is not well, you know with all this Whitewater trial and everything, she is not well. You know the regular lines, do not call the private residence anymore.' And he was embarrassed and he said, 'I'm sorry, sir' and hung up."

4. I have always wondered what happened between the Clintons and Morris
His hate for them is just a little psychotic.

28. I have to disagree.
I think the mods have a pretty liberal free speech view. Alerting on someone just because they're an obnoxious jackass usually doesn't work, but hey, if being a jackass got one TS'd this site would have very few regular posters.

However, the grevious stuff usually gets deleted or locked. Because the assholery level has risen a lot, recently, the first rule kicks in most of the time.

9. Hillary voted for war. Bill said he was against the war from the beginning.
And are you saying Dick Morris was responsible for job creation, peace and prosperity in the 90s?

15. These idiots are going to hand the Presidency to McCain
Our party is so fractured by the haters we will never stand a chance. While they are beating up on our own,it's giving the repukes lots and lots of fodder for the GE. It's sickening.

23. Hillary is the only hate monger in here!
It was Bill who injected his racially coded message into the campaign.

Stop acting like those that worshipped Evita Peron. Like Hillary, she cried for the poor while she fucked them royally. Evita and Hillary are both corrupt.

Only a RWer would say that McCain is qualified to be President and a fellow Democrat is not.

29. He does not say "I'm going to save the world." He says:
"We are the ones who will save the world."

He is the "We" candidate - Hillary is usually "I"and "me"

19. I remember all the candidates who refused to acknowledge Dean was qualified.
That humiliating moment in the debate when the moderator asked the Democratic candidates present to raise their hand if they believed Dean was qualified to be president. Not one of those sorry asses on stage raised their hand.

Dean was more qualified than all of them put together. So, as for your mewling over Hillary's supposed "endorsement" of McCain:

:nopity:
