Dick Morris
Exactly who is he? I know he use to be a friend of the Clinton's but now he is not. I have heard him called a 'toe sucker',but am not sure why.Saw his latest book at Borders today,he sounds like a nut!Who is he & what credibility does he have/claim to have?

1. For Starters, He's Roy COHN's Cousin
That in itself should tell you something. (That tidbit was in BLUMENTHAL's book.) Otherwise, he is a polit

2. Now that explains a lot.
It's in the gene pool....... Morris is so yesterdays news and tries to gain any recognition by imitating Nellie Olsen or her mother from, "Little House on the Prarie".

He got busted with a few prostitutes in DC....told government secrets about his experiences with the Clinton's and gang to them during social time and pillow talk..... Got fired.....

He went to the repukes like Faux as he could only get air time if he turns on his former friends, the Clinton Administration and any democrat..... He is a whore as he does this for money.


Thats how I remember the story. He is dental plaque.

3. He was a political advisor to the Clinton's for 2 decades.
Was fired just before the 96 Democratic Convention because of some "unplesantness" with a prostitue that came out in the news media. Now he attacks the Clinton family via the New York Post.

5. Professional Pol
To seriously answer your question, he is a professional political advisor without any real political affiliation. He's worked for both Clinton and Trent Lott. His main tool is polling everything under the sun from cutting taxes to going to war and basing his advice on what the public will buy.

He's had an on-again/off-again relationship with the Clintons for years. Basically, Bill Clinton used him whenever he was in trouble. He brought Morris on board in '94 after the Mid-term disaster. Morris is the one who recommended signing welfare reform and I believe he was also behind the government shutdown.

Then Dick - who for the record is a big-time scumbag - got caught playing footsie with a hooker. The story is they would go at it while Morris was on the phone with Clinton. He was promptly fired. But Clinton brought him back in a small role during the Monica fiasco.

Basically, Dick Morris represents the darkest element of politics.

He now writes for the New York Post and appears on FoxNews.

6. Dick Morris
I read his column in the NY Post because I've found that his record for being wrong is 100%. It's uncanny. If he predicts it it won't happen.

7. Dick Morris is a paid political whore.
His job is to tell you what you want to know. Ergo, he is the darling of Fox News.

10. I like him too
His CSPAN BOok thing was really interesting to see what the real Clintons are like.

But don't get me wrong, Dick Morris can say whatever the hell he damn well pleases, but my most prised possesion is my pic with Bill; I think he's the greatest man of the latter half of the 20th century.

Certainly...my life time.
