Apparently Dick Morris tore up Greta last night on Fox. I didn’t see it (I can’t really stand her, and it has nothing to do with her appearance, eye job or no), but I’m informed that when he criticized Clinton for being disinterested in terrorism, Greta disputed him. Dick then basically said, “you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about–I was there–you weren’t.”
He also accused her of using Clinton legacy team talking points. Her response was that she got her facts from the New York Times.
Then Dick apparently just looked at her incredulously. I don’t know what his response was, but mine would have been, “Oh, you mean the official stenographers of the Clinton White House?”
I suspect he won’t get invited back any time soon.
I’m tempted to watch Fox today to see if they show snippets of the segment. I’m wondering if Roger Ailes is regretting his decision. I suspect that he’s losing a lot of traditional Fox viewership to Alan Keyes over at MSNBC. I know that I’ve written off Fox for that time period, even to listen to.
[Update a few minutes later]
I also hear that he said, “Greta, you’re still a CNN person.” Hilarious.
[Further Update]
Someone’s posted a transcript over at Free Republic. Scroll down to post #107.
GRETA: LET ME GO THROUGH THE LIST —
MORRIS:YOU INVITED ME ON YOUR SHOW.
GRETA: BUT YOU SAY HE DIDN’T DO ANYTHING I’M TELLING YOU WHAT I READ. ORDERED CRUISE MISSILE STRIKES ON PHARMACEUTICAL PLANT IN SEDAN — IN SUDAN.
MORRIS:YOU CAN TALK TO YOURSELF ALL YOU WANT. YOU ASKED ME TO BE ON THE SHOW. THE 19 — THE AIR TRAFFIC THING THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT WITH GORE. THAT’S A PERFECT EXAMPLE. WHEN THIS COMMISSION WAS SET UP, I DID A SERIES OF POLLS FOR CLINTON, AND IN THE MEETING THAT TOOK PLACE ON JULY 24TH, 1996, I HAVE A WRITTEN AGENDA WHERE THE POLLING RECOMMENDED FEDERALIZING AIRPORT SECURITY, X-RAY INSPECTION OF ALL BAGGAGE AND ARMED AIR MARSHALLS ON ALL FLIGHTS. NOT ONLY WAS THAT NOT ADOPTED BY CLINTON AT THE TIME BUT EVEN WHEN GORE MADE THE RECOMMENDATIONS, IT WAS NOT ADOPTED.
GRETA: LET ME GO —
MORRIS: AND THE REAL QUESTION IS AFTER THE 1993 BOMBING OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER, WHERE SIX PEOPLE WERE KILLED, 1,000 WERE INJURED AND THE U-S DISTRICT COURT JUDGE SAID IT WAS THE WORST DOMESTIC ACTION SINCE THE CIVIL WAR, WHY DID CLINTON NEVER VISIT THE SITE, NEVER MAKE IT A TERRORISM ISSUE, TREAT IT AS THE SUBJECT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT?
And
GRETA: BUT IT WASN’T. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE BOMBING AT THE OLYMPICS, THAT WAS A SINGLE BOMBER. ERIC RUDOLPH WHO YOU THINK —
MORRIS: YOU’RE STILL A CNN PERSON. YOU’RE SITTING HERE TELLING ME NEVER HAVING PARTICIPATED IN ANY OF THESE MEETINGS BE NEVER HAVING READ THE AGENDAS OF THESE MEETINGS THIS I’M INCORRECT WHEN I’M TELLING YOU THERE WAS NO RESPONSE AND NO INTEREST.
GRETA: DICK, LISTEN, I’M TELLING YOU — LISTEN, WAIT —
MORRIS:TO SEE IF PEOPLE WHO WERE — WHO HAD THEIR VISAS EXPIRED WERE WANTED BY THE FBI THAT WERE SHOT DOWN AS BEING POLITICALLY INCORRECT —
GRETA: STOP FOR A SECOND —
MORRIS: HE WOULDN’T DO IT —
GRETA: WHAT I’M CONFRONTING YOU WITH ARE FACTS THAT AT LEAST “THE NEW YORK TIMES” —
MORRIS: FACTS THAT YOUR SPIN DOCTORS ARE GIVING TO YOU SPOUT ON THE SHOW.
The whole thing is worth a read.
