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 hope Dick Morris is luckier than the other couple dozen of people who had nasty dirt on the Clintons.
I hope he has a good bodyguard LOL!

Expecting the GOP to get a coherent and persuasive message across to the American public may be a tall order.
Dick Morris needs a remote starter for his car.
--agree--and unfortunately, about the only message the Demotraitors will have to have in '08 is "change"--
I call 'em like I see 'em. :-)
Ding - ding - ding.... We have a winner!
The RNC is oblivious and spineless. They remind me of the high school nerd walking the halls with a "Kick Me" sign on his back.
Oh great. The Marxist and the Muslim in the White House, I think it can happen too, with all the "Stay at Home" and 3rd party voters that keep Republicans disadvantaged, this could very well happen.
ROTFLOL
Hillary will probably "buy Dick Morris off" by hiring him to work in her campaign at some ridiculous salary and force him to sign a non-disclosure contract.
PING
I wish Morris would stuff a sock in it, frankly. He does Hillary more good than harm.
The man has guts. I hope he is always looking over his shoulder.
I hope he's luckier too. I don't "fear for his life", which is probably what you meant, but , considering how much unearned sympathy has flowed to the Clintons, from their being "attacked" over the years, what Morris is doing could backfire, and create lots of unintended consequences. If it is a Michael Moore type film, the worst could happen: Hillary would be getting new converts to her cause. But I don't think it will be. He'll be preaching to the choir mostly, but he knows the MSM will give him precious little exposure.
Morris is a turd. He needs to shut up. I can only see his attacks helping Hillary! (And of course, fattening Dickie boy's wallet).
