| Conservative pundit Dick Morris insists he was keeping hope alive when he boldly predicted Mitt Romney would win the White House in a landslide. On Tuesday’s “Hannity" show, Morris said supporters realized the Republican challenger was on the ropes as the election neared, and it was his job to boost their candidate’s profile. “I hope people aren’t mad at me about it,” said Morris, a former adviser to President Clinton and regular Fox News political analyst.Before the election, he continued, “The Romney c ampaign was falling apart, people were not optimistic, nobody thought there was a chance of victory

BS, I´ve been tracking Mr. Morris...he´s wrong about 70% of the time. He needs to go counterintutive...for Libs and those in Rio Linda, that means saying the opposite of what your addeled brain is telling you.

He and Rove should really have laid low for a few months rather than embarrass themselves over this. What we need is a few poll workers in the battleground states to come forward for a nice big fat reward for blowing the whistle on how the machines were rigged. THERE is where Donald Trump could help out if he wants to put up a million dollars.

Little Dick belongs on the Cartoon Network. He disgraced himself personally some years ago (as per #5). Now he has done so professionally. FNC disgraces itself whenever they give this slimy huckster any air time.

We knew better than to rely on Morris. He was very seldom right. His lack of contrition was horrifying. He joked and laughed through the segment. I saw absolutely no humor in it.

Many years ago, a fellow Ldotter made this statement, and I have used it many times.
"The next time Dick Morris is right, will be the first time."
My sincerest apologies to the originator of that quote; I would give you credit if I could remember who you are.

...agree with all--the truth is Fox pretty much hurts the Repub brand during primetime. Channel-surfing low -info voters scan right past Morris, Hannity, Coulter, Rove and Palin--very, very frequent guests on the evening shows on Fox. (I know because my hubby likes to watch--I don´t. I find all tv news/argument shows very tedious.) I´m sorry--facts are facts.

Bingo #12.
Will we please learn from this that the con talkers are insufferable shills? With few exceptions, they are simply throwing out red meat to whip up an appetite in their listeners for product. Namely ad space, books and merchandise.
Belling is the only one I care to listen to routinely, as well as Rush for the news media counterpoint. But R is a merchandise ho, too, if I am to be honest.

According to him he got it wrong because: a.) he used the 2010 elections as his model b.) he used the 2008 elections as his model c.) Hurricane Sandy hit d.) he didn´t factor changing demographics e.) he knew we were in trouble all along, he was just trying to boost our spirits. Here´s the real reason he was wrong: Like most of us, his mother taught him that he was brilliant. Unlike most of us he believed her well into adulthood. I think Jews have a word for such as him and it ends with tz.

I emailed Dick Morris a couple of nights ago. I said: Dear Dick, Why are you still employed? Why are you wrong about absolutely everything? Where are all the "undecideds" that were going to break for Romney? If you got paid by the correct prediction, you´d be penniless.
You get the point - I told him off. Fox should fire him.

He is also wrong about the Romney campaign coming apart in the final days - he says they knew they were going to lose. I think the campaign actually got better in the last month, after the first debate. Hurricane Sandy/Christie didn´t help though.
We know a couple of people working within that campaign, and they were expecting 350 electoral votes - and were floored.

Morris is just trying to salvage his credibility, which has already gone over the cliff, to use current parlance. His commentary, pre-election, was entertaining, but now maybe it´s time for him to take a long vacation.

Michael Hastings, a contributor to Rolling Stone and BuzzFeed, died on Tuesday morning in a car crash in Los Angeles at the unforgivably young age of 33.He is best known, rightly, for his 2010 Rolling Stone profile of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who as commander of the U.S.-led force in Afghanistan was the face of the war that Hastings saw as misguided and poorly managed. His profile, “The Runaway General,” portrayed McChrystal as a loose cannon so sure of himself and his strategy for the war that he and his staff openly derided their civilian overseers,

Senators on Tuesday rejected building the 700 miles of double-tier border fencing Congress authorized just seven years ago, with a majority of the Senate saying they didn’t want to delay granting illegal immigrants legal status while the fence was being built. The 54-39 vote to reject the fence shows the core of the immigration deal is holding. The vote broke mostly along party lines, though five Republicans, including Sen. Marco Rubio and the rest of the bill’s authors, voted against the fence, and two Democrats voted for it. Republicans had offered the fence as a way to

He discusses the history of the Republican Party, founded as an Abolitionist Movement in 1854. Guillory talks about how the welfare state is only a mechanism for politicians to control the black community. Hello, my name is Elbert Lee Guillory, and I’m the senator for the twenty-fourth district right here in beautiful Louisiana.

Tough global rules to stop mega-rich firms and individuals from dodging tax were unveiled at the G8 summit today. David Cameron demanded the world’s most powerful countries act to stop countries shifting profits to low-cost tax havens instead of paying they dues where there are earned. The Lough Erne Declaration - signed by the UK, US, Germany, France, Italy, Canada, Japan and Russia - vows to ´fight the scourge of tax evasion´ by ensuring automatic exchange of tax information and changing the rules to stop multinational companies shifting profits across borders to avoid paying their fair share.

In a flier circulated to employees and obtained by the government watchdog group Cause of Action, the bureau’s FOIA office instructs employees to “keep your calendar entries brief and general.” The guidance has some observers concerned that the agency is instructing its employees to be more opaque in its daily operations. “Transparency is at the core of our agenda, and it is a key part

Christie has reportedly lost 40 pounds after a successful lap-band surgery earlier this year. Later in the show, Christie explained that during a visit Jersey Shore on Monday, he was approached by several young women

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

During his interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl this morning, Rubio didn’t even seem to understand what that meant. “Are you being played by the Democrats?” asked Karl. “Is Chuck Schumer playing you?” “I don’t — I quite frankly, I don’t even know what that means,” Rubio replied. “Is he using you?” Karl continued. “Is he using you to try to accomplish something that the Democrats want and is not — not a conservative bill?” Rubio responded that immigration reform was a bi-partisan issue that “all Americans

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
