Dick Morris Plans to 'Run' Against Hillary
NewsMax e-mail | 2 Jan 07 | Ronald Kessler

Posted on 02/02/2007 9:37:02 AM PST by seanmerc

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 you're right. He garners sympathy votes for her. She knows how to make light of those "evil" men, doesn't she?

Just wondering -- under the Constitution, could she choose Bill to be her Vice President? I can't recall anything about nepotism or a former president being unable to take another office. Just wondering.

His predictions are terrible, but he introduces some decent commentary while making them! I discount his predictions but listen to what else he says. There's usually a nugget or two in there worth listening to.

As of right now, Rudy will beat Hillary

Wrong. As of right now, Rudy is beating Hillary in the polls - that's all. The reason is because America is focused on American Idol, The Super Bowl, and the latest Britney Spears scandal. The voters have NO idea what either of these two stand for so it is principally a popularity contest at this point.

Rudy is no where as near as strong as it may appear. Once the voting base is educated on his pro-abortion, pro-sodomite positions and realize that Rudy agrees with the left on most of the issues then "none of the above" will be polling much higher.

No. The person has to be eligible to become president and Bill is not.

Oh, good, I was starting to get crazy paranoid. I'd forgotten about the succession thingie. Whew! Steven King has nothing on me -- okay, except, perhaps, talent and a better memory.

"And I also think that it will help her in the end if he doesn't watch out."


I disagree.

The bwitch should be exposed as the fake, phony and fraud that she is as often as possible.

Not to mention an America hating socialist.

When it comes to Shillary, your best defense is a good offense.

My guess is that this entire Dick Morris effort is an agenda to force Hillary to cough up huge sums of money to keep him working for her or being neutral. Best guess...at least $1 million. Hillary will have to find some big player in the contributions world to keep Dick busy and with cash. If Dick were to play open market...which no Republican really cares to mess with the guy...then its unprofitable to the core...but he could stop the Clinton situation in its tracks.

Dick Morris wants a Hillary victory so badly..this way it will keep him relevant on Fox News for another 8 years and then he can retire with even more millions in his pockets.

More than trying. We will soon have out a half hour initial version for cable TV. We hope it makes enough money to do a full feature length film. Despite the MSM's failure to report, we will be seeing the Clintons in court this year in Los Angeles.

Hillary should resign from the Senate before running for POTUS.

I totally agree with you. The few level headed democrats out there point out the fact that America will not vote for Obama, depsite what the media thinks.

I love listening to Dick Morris talk about the Hillary the public doesn't get to see. I hope she gets exposed for what she really is.

We'll see. I'm sure your words will instill fear in some peoples' minds.

To those of us who are educated and informed, they're
meaningless.

Rudy's personal opinion on abortion is a non issue.

The only way he President will have an impact on the abortion issue is through his appointments to the Supreme Court.

Rudy will appoint strict constructionists to the SCOTUS.

There goes your argument.

IMHO......

Rudy will be the best man to win the War on Islamic Fascism.

Rudy will be the best Commander in Chief.

Rudy will be the best man for National Security.

Rudy will not back down to the libs on any issue. NONE.

I hope Dick Morris is luckier than the other couple dozen of people who had nasty dirt on the Clintons.

There is a spot prepared for him in Fort Marcy Park.

You are correct, you can't accept the words at face value of a traitor to traitors which is what Morris is.

The difference between Bill and Hil is he caused a stain on a dress, she IS the stain in any dress she wears. She will fade and lose easily enough without help from unreliable allies.
