Dick Morris is a conservative pundit and pollster. He worked with Bill Clinton as governor of Arkansas and as President. After working with the Clinton administration, he went Republican and started appearing on Fox News, and got a regular segment on The O'Reilly Factor. He also still polls. He once let a prostitute suck on his toes while he was working for Clinton, and also did an impersonation of Popeye the Sailor Man for her.[2] He doesn't like Clinton anymore, and really dislikes his wife, Hillary Clinton.

[edit] Vendetta against Hillary Clinton
Dick Morris is not the first man to feel bitter about his old job, but he has certainly gone the extra mile to make his bitterness known. On The O'Reilly Factor, Morris told Laura Ingraham that his "old friend" Hillary Clinton was conspiring to create a global EPA through the United Nations.[3] Given the UN's record on "getting us to heaven"[4] Mr. Morris and Ms. Ingraham have nothing to fear.
Among other books, he has written Rewriting History, which is largely a rebuttal to Hillary Clinton's self-satisfied autobiography Living History. Dick Morris seems to carry a lot of silly bitterness towards Hillary.
[edit] Assorted lies
Perhaps it comes with the profession, but Dick Morris is quite mendacious. As a Republican operative, he has decried Barack Obama as a dictator (doing things for which Bush was praised).[5] He also tends to bullshit about the economy. [6]
[edit] As a pollster
Dick Morris anticipated Mitt Romney would win the 2012 U.S. Presidential Election in a landslide. He was wrong.[7]
