DICK MORRIS LETS SEAN HANNITY DOWN

Morris is a political analyst (i.e., right-wing hack) for FAUX News and in a discussion on H&C about the 1st Debate, he really let Sean Hannity down. First he said that overall, Obama won the debate then he said that McCain is a poor choice. Video at Crooks & Liars and at FOX News Hounds. From LexisNexis¹:

DICK MORRIS, AUTHOR, "FLEECED": I thought there were really two debates: the economy for the first half and the national security and foreign policy for the second. I thought Obama won the first. I thought McCain won the second.

And overall, since we haven't had a terrorist attack last week but had the economy falling apart, the economy is more important, and I have to say that, unfortunately, I think Obama won this debate.

I would've loved to have seen Hannity's face when Morris said this:

MORRIS: He may have been trying to do that, but I think that his advisors may have said it would be irresponsible. You'd be seen as demagoguing the issue, like Rudy just said.

Frankly, listening to Rudy Giuliani, it emphasized overwhelmingly how the Republican Party nominated the wrong candidate.
