Dick Morris interview on Today Show this morning
I just have to comment about the Dick Morris interview this morning on the Today Show. Morris, disgraced political pundit was interviewed by Matt Lauer under the guise of hawking his new book. However it turned it into a political smear of the greatest magnitude of Democratic presumptive nominee Sen. Barack Obama.
Morris, who, according to Lauer, had sat in that chair about a year ago and predicted that Sen. Clinton would get the nomination and the presidency, used the occasion to viciously attack Obama. He said that Obama was going to massively raise taxes to the point where it was "dangerous." If that isn't totally Republican, I don't know what is! He referred to Obama as "dangerous" a number of times. In fact, it became obvious that this was the message he was trying to get out - "Obama is dangerous." He sounded like Karl Rove on steroids!
Isn't that interesting? He was introduced by Lauer as a former top aide of Bill Clinton. Hmmm? Morris tried to redeem himself by saying that Obama would win anyway because of the political climate - in spite of himself and his "dangerous" policies. But it was obvious that from the beginning he was there to smear Sen. Obama. Lauer did little to stop him, although frankly, I thought that Lauer was caught offguard and reacted slowly trying to collect his thoughts while Morris just rambled on.
Morris needs to exercise more. That might help reduce his inner hostility. I'm not interested at all in reading his book, and I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to just pass on it. I am.
