Former Bill Clinton aide Dick Morris is bringing out a documentary in September to expose Hillary Clinton as a "phony."
Morris told the American Spectator Breakfast that the documentary will present Hillary's conflicting statements side-by-side and will portray her disingenuous statements and misrepresentations alongside the facts. The documentary will also depict Bill Clinton's involvement in controversial matters ranging from his pardons as president to his work for Dubai.
"You have to get to the fundamental fact of her phoniness, her lack of credibility." Morris said. "That she is pretending to be something she is not. I think you can best explain that by showing her being contradictory."
Morris and former congressional staffer David Bossie have been soliciting donations for the project.
"If you liked how the Swift Boat Veterans turned the tide against John Kerry, you understand how a top Clinton aide can turn the tables and stop a Clinton-style liberal from becoming the next president of the United States," Morris wrote in the solicitation.
Especially in key primary states, Morris and Bossie plan to rent movie theaters where the documentary will be shown. In effect, Morris will be running against Hillary, who has announced that she is running for presidency.
"With Hillary, scandals are a gift that keep on giving," Morris told NewsMax after his talk.
As an example of Hillary's disingenuousness, Morris will feature Hillary's NBC interview with Jane Pauley on Sept. 17, 2001. Trying to engender sympathy, Hillary told Pauley that when the two airplanes hit the World Trade Center, her daughter Chelsea was at Battery Park near the towers.
"She'd gone for what she thought would be a great jog," Hillary said. "She was going down to Battery Park, she was going to go around the towers. She went to get a cup of coffee — and that's when the plane hit."
"She was close enough to hear the rumble," Pauley said.
"She did hear it. She did," Hillary said.
"And to see the smoke . . ."
"That's right," Hillary responded, saying she did not locate her daughter until two hours later.
"At that moment, she was not just a senator, but a concerned parent," Katie Couric said the next day on NBC's "Today."
It was a great tale, but Hillary had made it up from whole cloth. Her arrogance was so profound that she did not coordinate the story with Chelsea, who wrote an article for "Talk" in which she described what she had been doing that day.
According to Chelsea, she wasn't jogging at the World Trade Center. Rather, she was miles away in a friend's apartment on Park Avenue South. She watched the events unfold on TV. Hillary told the story with a straight face.
Despite his own planned efforts, Morris said he thinks Hillary will be the next president and Barack Obama will be her vice president. On the GOP side, Morris believes a dark horse who is considered by the conservative base to be more ideologically pure than the leading candidates will be nominated to run against her.
"I think the field will come down to the pygmies," Morris said. "It's going to be [Mike] Huckakbee, [Sam] Brownback, [Jim] Gilmore, [Duncan] Hunter, [Tom] Tancredo, [Tommy] Thompson."
As astute as Morris is, that analysis seems to ignore the fact that only Mitt Romney, John McCain, and Rudy Giuliani have the ability to raise the money needed to win. It also seems to overlook the question of whether a candidate whose record presents absolutely no issues for conservatives can win in the general election.
Referring to Morris' picks, an influential Washington conservative who did not want to be named said, "Forget about them winning the general election."
"I think the field will come down to the pygmies," Morris said. "It's going to be [Mike] Huckakbee, [Sam] Brownback, [Jim] Gilmore, [Duncan] Hunter, [Tom] Tancredo, [Tommy] Thompson."
I hope he's right!
One problem with that! Those are all traits which are greatly admired by liberals.
One error in Morris's analysis is that Hillary will not select Obama as VP.
Obama adds nothing to her campaign.
She (Dems) already have Illinois.
She (Dems) already have much of the Black vote (and the Blacks are not rushing to Obama anyway).
Obama's numbers are alreay sliding downward.
She had no reason to select Obama, because he adds nothing to her campaign.
Watch your back, Morris!
I agree... Dick Morris just sounds like a whiny little self serving man who has a vendetta.
Morris must either have a death wish, or photos of Hillary and Janet Reno in bed together.
"She had no reason to select Obama, because he adds nothing to her campaign."
Bingo. In fact, Obama is a liability. Many who vote for Hillary! are going to do so, hoping they get Bill in the bargain. Bill is still worshiped by Dems.
Many of the old time, union type Democrats are racist. They will have a hard enough time voting for a woman, but put a black man as a VP and you will lose votes.
Hillary! will choose someone safe, a white male who is as bland as bland can be.
I remember you were trying to do this.
Yet ANOTHER visual I could've lived without.
AND he advised the Clintons those photos are held by a nameless third party who will release them in the event of Morris' "sudden demise". :-)
Which is easily rejected by:
Bush-Clinton-Bush...Clinton!!??
Stop the insanity.
Maybe that's what it will take to wakeup America to the enemies within.
"I think the field will come down to the pygmies," Morris said. "It's going to be [Mike] Huckakbee, [Sam] Brownback, [Jim] Gilmore, [Duncan] Hunter, [Tom] Tancredo, [Tommy] Thompson."
"I hope he's right!"
As of right now, I have as much a chance of getting the nomination as any of the above.
As of right now, Rudy will beat Hillary.
I'll be on the lookout to see if any of these lackluster candidates makes a move.
I'm also looking to hit the Powerball jackpot.
Neither are going to happen.
Wow. Don't make an enemy of Dick Morris. Think of it: he says he thinks Hillary will be the next POTUS, and yet he is willing to go on this all-out vitriol campaign against her. I don't know if we should call this gutsy or just blind rage. (Though I'm glad he's doing it -- maybe it will make a difference after all.)
The ijming is everything...Jeb Bush is the most
electrable politician in America...but it is not the
time..He is a concervative of the Reagan stripe..but
laijke I* said..timing is off... Jk
Dick has a decidedly mixed record on any political predictions. He's only predictable in his animosity towards Hillary. And I also think that it will help her in the end if he doesn't watch out.
