The sad, pathetic dissolution of Dick Morris continues. The former political consultant would be just another nobody today if not for the Clintons, yet after fucking up his relationship with them due to his weakness for toe-sucking hookers, Morris has parlayed his experiences into a lucrative second career disseminating wildly inaccurate political predictions and analysis on Fox News, in the New York Post, and in a series of books.
His shameless leeching off the Clinton legacy continues with “Rewriting History,” billed as a “rebuttal” to Hillary’s bestselling autobiography “Living History.”
After all, Morris’ primary obsession since becoming a pundit has been the former first lady, as he has spent the past three years making up baseless rumors and conspiracy theories about how Hillary would run for president in 2004, would run for VP as Dean’s running mate, would run for VP as Kerry’s running mate, and numerous other ideas which never came to pass. Eagerly embracing the wacky conservative caricature of Hillary that he used to spend his days trying to rebut, Morris seems to assign inordinate importance to someone who is, lest we forget, a mere first-term U.S. senator.
(Morris has yet to sign on- at least, not yet- to the theory posited by his FNC colleague Julia Goren that Hillary will get elected VP and “let [Kerry] get inaugurated, but then he'll go the way of Ron Brown, Vince Foster and Buddy the dog.”)
