Dick Morris repeatedly promoted GOP PAC on-air without disclosing his financial ties to the group.
Media Matters reports that in the month before the election, Fox News pundit Dick Morris “repeatedly used his columns and Fox News appearances to promote and raise money for the National Republican Trust PAC without disclosing that the organization has paid $24,000 to a company apparently connected to Morris, according to FEC filings.” Watch a compilation of Morris’s appearances:
According to Media Matters, Morris made at least 13 appearances on Fox News during which he “repeatedly promoted, praised, and fundraised for GOPTrust.com — all while appearing as a Fox News ‘political analyst.’” The National Republican Trust PAC was responsible for the ads tying Barack Obama to Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

That’s a better idea. Anyone in the same room with Dick Morris should keep their shoes and socks on, padlocking them if they doze off within 50 miles of Mr. Morris.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:08 pmReally.
Is there anyone in the USA with less integrity than Little Dickie Morris?
November 24th, 2008 at 8:54 pmEssential Elements of the Story:
Fox is a Republican Front Organization.
Fox isn’t about news.
Republicans don’t obey the law.
No surprises here.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:59 pmBig deal. His side lost. And whoever named him “Dick” had a pretty good idea how he was going to turn out.
November 24th, 2008 at 10:02 pmIf TP insists on wasting time and space on stupid stories about stupid, irrelevant people, I at least will post this very amusing little story.
A Canadian court ruled last week that obese people have the right to two seats for the price of one. Althouse asks:
If you get a free extra seat now, won’t people be clamoring to be considered one of the truly obese? Does some government agency certify that you are fat to the point of disability and thus entitled to accommodation? Or is this just a matter of airlines telling some people they’ll have to pay for a second seat — and now, they’re being told they will need to give that seat for free? If the latter, some of the chubbier passengers may decide to sprawl strategically to extort extra space from the airline. If the plane is full, who gets bumped?

O/T: on Yahoo, the AP is reporting that President Obama may not want to rescind the obscene tax cuts on the wealthiest top two per cent of Americans. This would be a very large step in the wrong direction. We do have to start cutting back on our federal budget deficits. Who better to pay taxes to help cut the ballooning federal deficit than the wealthiest folks who have made out like bandits under the Bush gangster regime…

November 24th, 2008 at 11:13 pmHi John Kerry.
November 25th, 2008 at 12:20 amTonight a can offer a very nice piece of swordfish. In fact it was just cut from the fish this very evening. Wanna stick around and have some or has your pussy ass already run off?
Journalistic disclosure means that you’re supposed to mention any connection you have to an entity in any appearance or writing that you make regarding that entity. So if you go on the air to talk about them, you mention “oh yeah, they paid me some money once.”
It does not merely mean that you’ve mentioned it in the past.
And, why is it news that FAUX News adheres to no journalistic standards whatsoever?
November 25th, 2008 at 12:23 amGiven sufficient time, I will eventually stumble upon the food that the fake and scared John Kerry simply can not resist…Until that time I would like to nominate JK for the ever popular Pussy For Life” award.
November 25th, 2008 at 1:16 amThe little pervert is irrelevant and has been since the Clinton’s threw him under the bus. He’s well suited for Fixed Noise where they laugh at him behind his back.

10 Repugs Who Should Go Away
And there are so many more–I do believe Ann Coulter should have made that list along with Rush Limbaugh at least, but I was glad to see O’Really’s name there. I’d love some device that stuns them into incoherency every time they say or do something stupid, kind of like a shock collar they couldn’t take off. Think of the quiet and the good that would do the world! Ah, to dream…
November 25th, 2008 at 7:47 amGood night, Dick.
November 25th, 2008 at 7:50 amWhy should he bother to make a public disclosure? The title “Fox News Pundit” is synonymous with “GOP PAC Operative”.
