The parrot's cage paper had to be changed.
Ooops, he's reading it and making small deposits all over it.
Sorry, Dick.
quite frankly i don't understand the democrat left.
it's comprised of two distinct elements:
1. cannon fodder at the bottom. they get their information from tv and michael moore, etc.
2. and "intellectuals" at universities and in the media. they subscribe to emotions, not ideas.
in tucson last year i saw the deaniacs racing about town in their cars, yelling slogans at pedestrians. they were in the supermarkets yelling slogans. apparently they were energized by the university.
Toe sucking and giving bad advice sure carries a weak resume doesn't it? Please Dick Morris, go do something with your hands without a pen or a hooker. Maybe painting or something........
Interesting speculation about Ickes. A lot of us wondered why he would support Dean for the DNC.
If he is right, this may be curtains for hillary. I really thought she would run in 2004 after knocking Dean out of the race. Yes, it would be harder, running against Bush. But by 2008 she will be seriously older and seriously out of power without McAuliffe or Ickes at the DNC.
Sure, she's not helpless yet. But she has to worry about a lot of ambitious Democrats who are sick of the clinton's using up all the air in their party. It's not clear that she can stop a palace coup in the party.
Hillary doesn't confide in the toe sucker, but he does know the players pretty well.
I usually don't care for Dick Morris's opinions. But that's a great quote.
bttt
"And the Clintons? Even as Hillary tries to fool us once more into believing in her political moderation, they do not dare stand up against Dean. Even though they know that Dean knows that it was the Clintons who assassinated him en route to the nomination last year, neither Bill nor Hillary utter a peep as their party falls off the deep end.
The Clintons could have gotten Ickes the job, but neither one did any heavy lifting on his behalf. Why not? I'm no longer privy to their secrets, but my guess is that Bill was too sick, sad, physically weakened and unfocused — and that Hillary, an ingénue without his guidance and leadership, didn't dare to try on her own for fear of publicly failing."

Dick may well be on target with this one. He's not the only writer who is saying the Dem stalwarts just can't work up the courage to oppose the whackos. It certainly appears to him that the Clintons grasp on the party is sloooowly slipping away. The nomination may well be hers for the taking in '08 but by then she may well be an historical footnote and the Dems a small "crank" party. Dick reminds us that Hilary is nowhere without Bill and I believe we all agree that it's looking like Good King Billy will have long since kissed the sod by then (gotta quit those Big Macs myself while there's still time!)
Someone else wrote that what is currently passing for a strategy among the Dems is what they think Newt and the Republican revolutionaries were doing ten years ago. The problem with that theory was that Newt was offering ideas to the public along with the brickbats he was hurling at the Dems. Nae, I'm afraid that "obstruct, snipe and throw your feces" is not going to win the day here.
I consider myself pretty politically savvy, but I'm apparently not. What is a "Jacobin desire"? The only Jacob I'm familiar with is the biblical figure, and it doesn't fit here.
He's just making sure we know that Hillary allegely has stiffed another alleged supporter.
I believe she and Bill are becoming washed up. And it's about time.
How odd it is to see Hillary trying to convince us that she's a red state kind of girl (offering moderate views on abortion, condemning illegal immigration, emphasizing the importance of prayer in her life and backing the war) even as her party lurches to the left.IMHO, it's not odd, it's desperation.
Actually, I think "Her Heinous" is executing a classic disinformation campaign. With Dean's ascension to the leftist throne, Hilary can claim her party left her and wrap herself in the flag, so to speak (or at least her version of it). She has been positioning herself for this tactic ever since her first day as senator.
Hilary already knows that she'll get many RINO votes just as she did in New York, and in a presidential election, she may garner more, proportionally speaking. She also knows that the leftists will NEVER vote for a Republican so she'll have those votes that, for the moment, have left her (in this planned subterfuge).
Like it or not we are going to see the Hillary is a moderate act in a newly contrived scene every week until the 08 elections.
Today she tried to show she was a woman by fainting.
Last week she gave a speech to a bunch of communist pinkos and declared that she is pro life. There were actual gasps in the audience with some of her declarations.
Ad nauseum.
There is plenty of time for an Arkancide. If Dean takes the post he is a dead man.
In the meantime Dean and the party minions will only make Hillary look more and more moderate. She will, over time, give the impression that she is just not a part of that kooky bunch of radicals.
And when the time is right, Dean will be memorialized in a plane crash and Hillary will come rushing in to claim her rightful spot as the new moderate voice of both the Americans she needs to win with and the balance of her base which is all leftist whackos.
Morris is an interesting read, but he's so blinded by his hatred of the clintons that he's not reliable
Dear Dick,
For the good of the country, SHUT THE F$$% UP~!!!
He is right, as usual- but dont help the democraps!
