Most Dishonest Book Jacket Quote Ever

Dick Morris' anti-Hillary Clinton book, "Rewriting History," came out yesterday, and after Morris has spent the past four years betraying confidences from his time with the Clintons and making up weird conspiracy theories about Hillary's presidential aspirations, Dick and/or his editors actually had the cojones to begin the book jacket with this:

Now, for the first time, Fox News political analyst and former Clinton adviser Dick Morris turns his sharp-eyed gaze on Hillary, the longtime First Lady, current New York senator, and bestselling author.

For the first time?

For the first time in hard cover perhaps?
(unless he did that already, which wouldn't suprise me).

I think I once saw a column of his that didn't mention hillary

Even better is the bit a few lines down into the book description about how Morris "draws on his own long working relationship with the Clintons" in writing the book. Sure, he worked with them for years, but since he's been persona non grata with them for almost as long, it's dishonest to imply that his experience with the former First Family a decade ago gives him inside into the way they are now and will be in the future. But... what do you expect from Dick Morris?
