Dick Morris

“Yesterday, inspiration confronted demographics. Charisma faced a laundry list of proposals that a large block of voters needed.

The prosaic won. And the doctrinaire ideological construct that her candidacy represents is likely to sweep the remaining contests and land her in the White House.” – Dick Morris, Febrary 6, 2008  read more »

The Hotline's blog reports that Capricia Marshall, a longtime Clinton aide and former consultant to ABC's Commander in Chief, has joined Hillaryland as finance director for the reelection campaign.

And speaking of the ABC show, Dick Morris -- in this weirdly calm and lucid column -- predicts Hillary will win in 2008 because the election will be about broad, generic cultural issues -- "first woman president" -- not questions of character, personality, or relative brittleness.

John Spencer has a Hillary spot up on his Web site, dramatizing the Dick Morris argument that wiretaps saved the Brooklyn Bridge. (As I understand the story, wiretaps helped catch a guy who had already decided the bridge was "too hot" to blow up. But still.)

He told Conservative Party leaders today that she "aids and abets our enemies."

The tag line of the ad is kind of amusing, then: "I won't play politics with our security."

HARTFORD, CONN. (AP) -- State Democrats are criticizing Senate Republicans for inviting political consultant Dick Morris to a fund-raiser when he owes the state more than $250,000 in back taxes.  read more »

If you haven't been following former Clinton advisor Dick Morris's career with the same interest we have, you've missed his acquiring some interesting new friends. Aside from his main gig reading Hillary's demonic mind for the New York Post, he turned up last fall in Ukraine beside the opposition leader, Viktor Yuschenko. And now he's suddenly become a bit of a star in the British press for his association with the U.K. Independence Party, or Ukip.

The BBC recently ran an entertaining, skeptical interview with Morris, who finds himself a key player in the movement to lead Britain out of the European Union.

"I think the greatest threat to democracy in the world is not terrorism but bureaucratism," he said, justifying his zeal for a party whose other goals include "zero net immigration" to the U.K.

His new associates are rather strange bedfellows for an old acolyte of the Third Way, and an odd match for a veteran of a Ukrainian revolution aimed squarely at joining the E.U. Until recently, Ukip was a fringe assortment of eccentrics and occasional extremists regarded by Labour and the Tories as the better-educated auxiliary of the far-right British National Party. It rose to prominence when Robert Kilroy-Silk, a kind of Oxbridge Geraldo, became its star. But Kilroy-Silk fell out with the old guard, and recently denounced his old compatriots.  read more »

His departure left a weakened party and left Morris, in Kilroy-Silk's words, in the company of "bloody Right-wing fascist nutters."
