To do: FahrenHYPE 9/11, criticism of Morris. Rhobite 22:54, Oct 14, 2004 (UTC)

I decided to include something about 1992 in the article. -Amit June 4, 2005

Why Did Morris Turn Against The Clintons?

This is a good article but it does not elaborate on why Morris turned against the Clintons. What happened-- what was the reason?

I have persnally speculated but have no idea-- is he really a Republican with a mercenary streak who regrets having served a Democratic president? Or is he a legitimate Centrist and were there other reasons?

    • One thing is-- as far as Hillary goes-- it seems very personal. Like he has a grudge against her. If so, I don't trust him. Politics should be based on principles and should not be personal.
    • Sean Hannity seems to have come to dislike Morris. I have seen Hannity get very annoyed with him on FOX. Hannity does not like the Clintons-- but doesn't seem to like Morris anymore either.

If anyone knows why Morris turned on the Clintons-- that should be a key part of this article I would think.

Is Dick Morris gay? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.132.185.169 (talk • contribs) 22:39, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you asking us? -Will Beback 09:03, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Why would a gay man pay to have sex with a female prostitute?

Wedlock?

Under the "Scandal" section, it says that Morris has a child in Texas, whom he fathered out of wedlock. Since this is a pretty big charge and no citation given, should this temporarily be removed until a citation can be found? Tmblweed 18:31, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Autistic?

"In the book "Behind the Oval Office" Morris relates he may have had some autistic tendencies as a child, such as assortive behavior and a desire to socialize with adults." There are only 8 google hits for "assortive behavior" in Google, half of them referening Morris. I would expect many more hits if it were a term of art asociated with autism. The term means wanting to associate with one's own kind (other children in this context), which contradicts the meaning of the sentance. 12.10.223.247 02:22, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Learn about topics you purport to edit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism

"shows unusual attachments to toys, objects, or schedules (i.e., always holding a string or having to put socks on before pants). spends a lot of time stacking objects, lining things up or putting things in a certain order."

also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome

If you do not believe assortive behavior and a lack of socail interaction with age appropriate peers is not a sign of autism, then you don;t get out much, do you?

It could also be OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Behavior).

Maybe. Do OCD kids find it difficult to relate to age appropriate peers? In any event, Morris himself made the point. As the father of a child on the spectrum I'm inclined to think he was right

Dick Morris Named Customer by Madam

From The New York Times.

"Mr. Tobias is the third prominent Washington figure to be identified as among Ms. Palfrey’s clients. This month, she identified an adviser to the Pentagon as “one of the regular customers” of her service. She included in a court filing and posted on her Web site the man’s photo and tax records. Dick Morris, the television commentator and former adviser to President Bill Clinton, who resigned in 1996 after reports that he was seeing a prostitute, was also a customer, Ms. Palfrey’s lawyer has said in court. Mr. Morris has denied the accusation."

University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato

I removed "Morris has been criticized for his failed predictions by University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato". We don't need to add every comment here. Also, don't need to add the commentary about non subject of article. --Tom 12:50, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

paragraph on Century of the Self Part 4 in "Other Work" section
