Love your reptilian, gossipy description. Your take on Dick Morris' blood temperature and desire to be in the know is right-on. ;) What is particularly interesting are allegations that Time changed its intended Sept. 9 cover featuring Dick Morris after the president expressed displeasure. The cover story described in detail Morris' extensive power in the White House. Sherry Rowlands, Morris' call girl, told Star that on Aug. 22, four days before the Time issue hit the stands, she overheard Morris speaking with Clinton on the phone about the cover. Morris told Clinton the cover would either depict Morris inside Clinton's head as his "brain," or Morris would be pictured leading Clinton. After Clinton blew up in anger, Rowlands told Star, she heard Morris say "Yes, sir, I'll call them about it -- it's not too late ... I'm sorry, sir. I'll call them immediately." Star quotes Morris, via Rowlands, as telling Time's editor "Well, I told you he's against it.... He is the president. And -- I don't mean to tell you your place -- but you're just an editor." The final cover was a photo-illustration of a miniature Morris perched on Clinton's shoulder with the caption "The Man Who Has Clinton's Ear." |
Thanks, I missed this tidbit...
