Everyone at DKos knows Dick Morris is a partisan hack, who although helped Clinton in 96, has since turned bitter and his bitterness has made him stupid, and his hate for the Clintons and need for money has made him make all sorts of dumb predictions that don't pan out
My two examples I know of first hand would be:
NY Post article (no link sorry)
Claims CT primary will have a very low turnout, and if Lieberman didn't back out, he would be assured a loss
A few weeks later, he wrote in the NY Post that Lieberman was going to win after he lost the primary
After the British airlines bomb scare, he predicted on O'Really that Bush's approval would go up "at least 10pts" it went up 2-4, some actually had him go negative...also he "ripped up all his predictions of Democrats having a shot at the house"
Lefthandedman has more, that are listend below, but what I need:
I need people finding lists to articles of actual predictions he made, and then we can make a wikipedia entry on all the false predictions and contradictions he has made, so that everytime Dick Morris is brought up, we can use one link to dismiss him
As remarked by Lefthandedman (give him props)
If you wanted to snap people back into reality... did you have to pick the one wingnut who:
Insisted, for months, that Hilary Clinton was going to be the 2004 Democratic nominee?
That Bernie Karik would be confirmed for sure as Homeland Security chief?
That Osama bin Ladin was dead?
That Social Security privatization would be a winner for Bush?
That Donald Rumsfeld would be fired?
That Hurricane Katrina had been successfully deflected to Katherine Blanco, and there would be no lingering fallout for the Bush White House?
That the violence in Iraq was petering out?
That the elections would cause the violence in Iraq ot peter out?
That the new government of Iraq would cause the Iraqi people to turn on the insurgents?
That the invasion of Lebanon would be a huge success for Israel?
That Hilary Clinton was in trouble in her NY Senate race?
That Ned Lamont would lose the CT. Primary?
That Hilary would be in danger of losing the Democratic primary to Tasini?
That the GOP would retake the Virginia Governor's office held by the Democrats?
That Democrats would be paying a heavy price in 2006 for being increasingly critical of the war in Iraq?
That Democrats would be paying a heavy price for John Murtha's criticism of the Bush White House?
That Democrats would never be favored to take the House because the concept of Speaker Nancy Pelosi was 'terrifying' to the American people?
That Howard Dean wouldn't win the DNC chair?
That Howard Dean would be fired from his post at the DNC?
That Howard Dean's 50 state strategy would be a disaster?
That black and hispanic women would be flocking to the GOP because of Condi Rice?
That black and hispanic men would be flocking to the GOP because the GOP fielded black and hispanic candidates?
That George Allen would be the GOP conservative's frontrunner in '08, and he would be easily re-elected in '06 because Democrats couldn't compete with the GOP in Virginia?
That the border debate would tilt the House even further to the right when the votes were tallied after '06?
That George W. Bush could use Afghanistan's success to pound the Democrats in '06 even if Iraq was 'rough'?
That Democrats couldn't run on National Security?
That John McCain isn't a 'serious' threat to win the GOP nod in '08?
