Dick Morris and his book "off with their heads"

[Big]

Morris was Clinton's adviser until he got fired, ironically supposedly for an affair with a prostitute whom Morris allowed to listen on on phone conversations with the President.

Morris became a harsh critic of Clinton and wrote a book "Off with their Heads", basically an attack on all apologists that opposed the war in Iraq.

I read that book and one issue was really interesting to me. Morris writes how Clinton wanted to leave a good legacy as a President but felt he didn't do enough. When he asked Morris what more he could do, Morris writes he said: "You can start a war, that always leaves a legacy". Then, Morris basically makes fun of Clinton how he never realized that the war against Afghanistan or Iraq was right under his nose and Clinton didn't start it.

What do you guys think about this? It kind of strikes me as a scary tendency that Presidents would start a war just to leave a legacy. Maybe Bush is doing just that!

[Flop the Nuts]

I was under the impression that the war on terror escalated when the planes hit the Pentagon and the World Trade Towers. Or were Bush and the Zionist cabal behind all of that?

Well, I am not saying it was all out of the blue or something. You know, Clinton also witnessed World Trade Center attacks in 1993 as the President.

What I am saying is that Bush and aides might have overdone it as far as jumping at the opportunity, especially in Iraq. I mean, the whole thing of an adviser telling a President "Hey lets start a war" just screams Karl Rove all over it.

There is a billion Muslims in this World. Very unlikely Bush can pacify them all.

Olbermann gave Morris "Worst Person" "bronze" for still pushing Obama-Clinton smear
On the January 30 edition of MSNBC's Countdown, host Keith Olbermann gave Fox News political analyst Dick Morris the "bronze" in his nightly "Worst Person in the World" segment because Morris "said he believes somebody close to the [Sen. Hillary Rodham] Clinton [D-NY] war room indeed planted the made-up story" that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) attended a madrassa, as Media Matters for America documented. Olbermann criticized Morris for saying this after Fox News "decided it had corrected its crappy reporting on the phony story about Senator Obama and an Islamic training school, and its crappy reporting on the phony story that Senator Clinton's people had spread the other phony story." The previous day, Olbermann named Fox News senior vice president of programming Bill Shine the "runner-up" in the "Worst Person" segment for "offering a sort-of apology" on the Obama-Clinton smear. Olbermann said that Shine "[l]eft out" "the fact that while clarifying the story Fox also reported that Senator Clinton had, quote, 'reportedly outed Obama's madrassa past.' "

From the January 30 edition of MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann:

OLBERMANN: But first, time for Countdown's latest list of nominees for "Worst Person in the World."

And tonight, the bronze to Dick Morris. The Fox Noise channel may have decided it had corrected its crappy reporting on the phony story about Senator Obama and an Islamic training school, and its crappy reporting on the phony story that Senator Clinton's people had spread the other phony story. Nobody gave Dick the memo. He went on last night and said he believes somebody close to the Clinton war room indeed planted the made-up story about Obama. Dick Morris, the same guy who let the hooker listen in on his phone call to the president? Well, that's credibility there.

[Flop the Nuts]

Funny how Olbermann uses the words "crappy reporting" a few times in his little bit. He knows all about crappy reporting.

He should have stuck to Sportscenter, where his smug schtick actually worked for him.
