I really don't understand why FOXNews likes using Dick Morris as an "analyst". The guy comes off as so oily and unctuous that I want to take a whole bottle of hand sanitizer to my computer every time I see him. What's funny now is that even Fox's designated milquetoast "balance" Alan Colmes can't take him seriously any more. Watch as Alan points out just who is perpetuating he smears:

DM: It’s very funny. You have all of these people savaging Obama, emails that he’s a Muslim. You have people savaging McCain…

AC: We have you to savage the Clintons…

DM: …emails that his daughter, who he adopted from a Mother Teresa orphanage, is his illegitimate daughter…

AC: Not that you want to bring any of this stuff up…

DM: ….no, no, no…And all of those stuff are wrong. C’mon, all of those are wrong and…

AC: So, thank you for not mentioning them.

DM: ….all of those are wrong and they’re lies.

AC: And they should not be mentioned.

DM: Well, they should be, to rebut them, ‘cause they’re being spread.

AC: Right.

DM: But nobody is doing that about Hillary. And the reason…

AC: You’re doing it!

DM: …and the reason they’re not is what are we going to say? We’re going to send out an email saying she got..her brother got a quarter of a million bucks to pardon a drug dealer? Another email that says anonymous phone call that says she got …

But what gets me is when Big Daddy Sean Hannity gets involved to break up the cross talk. Note that he holds up a video available on Dick Morris's website. That video was involved in lawsuit and a judge ordered that it could not be advertised during primary season unless the people behind the video identified themselves. Sean Hannity just gave it a nice free plug on national airwaves...hmmm...Could Hannity have purposefully defied a court order?

Can you help us out?
