Mr. Irrelevant? Fox News’ Dick Morris on Climate Bill

‘Former Clinton adviser’ clings to his 15 minutes

Apparently Fox News tele-pundit and GOP cheerleader, Dick Morris, thinks the only way people will consider him relevant is if he tells everyone that he was once an adviser to President Bill Clinton. What Morris—or anyone introducing him at Fox News—fails to mention, is the reason his stint as a top Clinton adviser ended so abruptly; he was involved with a D.C. prostitute and even (allegedly) let her listen-in on private conversations he was having with President Clinton.

I am not denying that Morris at one time held a very important position and had a tremendous amount of influence. Rather, I am suggesting that Mr. Morris should stick to what he knows best; bashing Bill and Hillary Clinton. In stead, Morris has now transposed his hatred of the Clintons and his apparent need for retribution onto President Obama, whom he attacks in his new book, Catastrophe (a book that is being sold at Amazon for almost half-off its cover price just one week after being published).

With some apparent insight into the current political machinations in the Democratic Party, Morris told Fox News’ Sean Hannity, “The number who voted for it [Waxman-Markey] is a pre-ordained conclusion.” Morris then made use of now-familiar GOP fear-mongering tactics and rehashed the overblown estimates of the cost of the climate bill. The only “expert” Morris sites in his McCarthy-esque incitation was former United Nations representative in the George W. Bush administration, John Bolton. Bolton, though he was the de-facto representative to the U.N., despises the institution and warns that any climate policy (national or international) is really only a mechanism for the transfer of wealth from the countries of the industrialized North to the less-developed South.

There are lots of reasons not to take Dick Morris seriously, not the least of which are that he has big trouble interpreting data and that he apparently has the ability to see into the future. I get it; the guy wants to sell books. But I can’t take Morris seriously because he cannot separate his emotional bias from his (in)ability to tell the truth.

Mr. Morris, I know you’re dying to stay relevant, however, I think your fifteen minutes are up.

    WHAT 'ROCK' DID DICK MORRIS COME OUT FROM UNDER? HE CERTAINLY SHINES WITH "FICTION"–MAYBE HE BEST TRAVEL TO EUROPE AND SEE HOW SUCCESSFUL THEIR MEDICAL IS—I HAVE WITNESSED IT FIRST HAND. HE'S HAD HIS SAY–ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I NEVER HEARD OF DICK MORRIS UNTIL I RECEIVED AN E-MAIL REGARDING OBAMA'S MEDICAL. I 'GOOGLED' HIS NAME TO SEE IF ANYTHING WRITTEN ABOUT HIM—THIS IS THE SITE I READ!! AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, HE CAN JUST FADE AWAY AND HE WON'T BE MISSED.

    I think the Health care bill being promoted by

    Congress is a dangerous concept.

    It is removing Civil rights, Privacy rights,

    and right to choose from millions. All of the

    so called "Govt. Plan" is a power grab of

    immense scope. It mandates Control over people's

    lives from the cradle to the grave.

    It seizes information on your health, your lifestyle

    and your bank accounts.

    It is an Assault on Sr. citizens and draconion

    in the punitive measures that will be imposed on

    the reluctant sr.s who do not go along to get along.

    Yesterday it was the unborn…Today Sr. citizens.

    The most vulnerable in our society.

    Tomorrow??…perhaps mentally retarded or physically

    deformed or compromised. After that "certain groups"

    of people with wrong thoughts.."Christians or

    Minorities of one sort or another.

    When will it be your turn?

    If you like Soylent Green, you will love the health

    care for Sr. Citizens.

    More than all of these things, it is immoral and

    unconstitutional to seize power over people's lives.

    Any unalienable right is God Given, and God's to

    take away, not the politicians who are seeking a

    wider power than is allowed in the Constitution.

    Are you Christian? Do you believe the prophecies

    on end times? Do you want to accept the mark of

    the Beast? Best to examine what is happening, we

    are in real danger. I for one, do not want to

    accept a Universal Health Card that releases all

    of the details of my life…I would rather die free

    than live under tyrrany.

    Notice Govt., Union, and most left wing groups are

    exempted. This is not Democracy!

    Unlike the elected politicians, American citizens

    need to read this. Are you willing to have

    your elderly parents euthanized? Read the bill!

    Will you be allowed to hold their hands.

    Not if you can be stopped.

    Read about the new "Science Czar". When did America

    have to have Czars, unelected and not responsible

    to the American People. This man is ghoulish in

    his ideas.

    Wake up and smell the bacon! Something is rotten

    in the Political leadership we have.

    Savous dearly wished to believe that Hyle was enjoyably distracted now, but he knew better. Savous led them from the bathing chamber, aware of a multitude of eyes on him. A number of prices? Eyrhaen sipped her wine and decided that, tonight, she would be in a good mood. The thought of lashing out at Brevin, Lanthan, or Tykir fizzled as it occurred. It was so different, this control. Hyles warm smile displayed his confidence. Gala teased, tossing a floor pillow at him. She loved them as much as she loved her parents. It might not be enough, but it was a good enough start. Angrily, she dashed tears from her eyes, stepping toward the outer door. She threw another pillow, this time at Lanthan. She swallowed over a lump in her throat. No more prompting was necessary. Her pussy wept, neglected, but she wouldnt have stopped him for anything. Delight sparked in his eyes when she drew up to her knees. You may be different, but you most certainly belong. Three men at once, all the time, is exhausting! She could feel it in her soul. He wrapped strong arms about her waist, crushing her against him as he stood.
