An eyewitness to ex-President Bill Clinton's physical attack thirteen years on his one-time senior political advisor Dick Morris has confirmed the altercation to Washington Post reporter David Maraniss.

Citing the account of Gloria Cabe, an aide in Clinton's 1990 gubernatorial reelection campaign, Maraniss revealed that Clinton and Morris "got into a shouting match near the side porch [of the governor's mansion], with Morris nearly a foot shorter than the governor screaming up to his face."

"As Hillary and Cabe stood by, Clinton suddenly lost control, according to Cabe, and slugged Morris, sending him reeling," the reporter said.

"Clinton apologized," Cabe told Maraniss for his 1994 presidential biography "First in His Class." "But he was still pissed."

Though Morris decided to see Clinton's campaign through till the end, Cabe recalled that every now and then he would still mutter, "I can't believe Clinton hit me!"

Bill ran after me, tackled me, threw me to the floor of the kitchen in the mansion and cocked his fist back to punch me. You grabbed his arm and, yelling at him to stop and get control of himself, pulled him off me. Then you walked me around the grounds of the mansion in the minutes after, with your arm around me, saying, "He only does that to people he loves."

Sounds to me like something one would hear at an abuse center, rationalizing why the abused spouse stays with the abuser......HHHmmmm. You don't suppose?

Why can't Morris get it? If Clinton can rape, sexually grope and degrade women while continually getting a free pass, why is it so hard for Morris to believe that Clinton lost his temper and hit HIM? Does Dickie think he's something special, or what?

Your comment is exactly what I thought when I read that statement last night. Interesting ...??

[AngrySpud]

NewsMax really scrapes the bottom for stories these days. Who cares about the 'toon slugging Dickie? A century ago. During a campaign.

Like we thought the 'toon was a choirboy?

[kattracks]

This isn't about the toon, it's about hillary! being caught in yet another lie.

Or about people's willingness to associate with those who are "sick". Would a "normal" person tolerate this kind of stuff? Either these people aren't normal or I'm not, because I would not associate with people such as these. My parents didn't do everything right, but I do have personal self respect.

BJs in the Oval Office, throwing lamps and ashtrays, groping prospective employees, stealing furniture, defacing property, and now brawling.

Is there anything those hillbillies won't do to lower the standards of the office of president?

[Paul Atreides]

I'm sure that Susan Ostrich will come up with some rationale to excuse this, just as she has done to poo-poo Juanita's ordeal.

Hey spudzo- Lighten up! Carl's just keeping the ambers burning...takin' a stroll down memory lane.

Cabe says BC slugged Morris, sending him reeling.

Morris says BC grabbed him slung him to the floor and drew back to hit him. Which one was it?

[Mr. Mojo]

Who cares about the 'toon slugging Dickie?

A U.S. President slugging his advisor (while probably drunk) is definitely newsworthy, even if it happened a few years ago.

[sydbas]

Don't hold your breath waiting for this to be mentioned in any of the liberal news media outlets.

[cherry_bomb88]

Like any of us doubted Hitlery was capable of this????

[HiTech RedNeck]

Wonder what he does to those he hates.

[jwh_Denver]

Wonder what he does to those he hates.

I think the evidence would point to 6 feet under.

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

Wonder what he does to those he hates.

Heart attacks seem quite common, and bullets to the back of the head the next most common, aircraft accidents and finally the most amusing, tieing them to railroad tracks. Was it 56 people the Clinton machine had murdered? I forget I kinda lost count after the Clinton's passed up John Wayne Gacy.

I kinda lost count after the Clinton's passed up John Wayne Gacy.

So true and worth repeating!

Of course, only the abusive Clinton's could get away with a straightface with their caring outreach to Victims of Abuse. . .and only because Bill and Hill knew and know, that the Lib friends/Media will not go there.

Seems the Media is guilty of the same sort of 'protection'; no matter how rotten these people treat America; they will protect these two; 'because they love them'. . .
