In my opinion, Dick Morris is very good at analysis but terrible at drawing conclusions from it. He's wrong on forecasting a lot. I think he'd be better if he worked with a partner who was better at forecasting.

Prophetic. Rove sure did pull it off.

Dick Morris is laughable at this point. I never did think he had a brain in his head. He can't forecast his breakfast the next morning.

Last Resorts is my fav.

Nobody caught 'em

They call it paradise
I don't know why
You call someplace paradise,
kiss it goodbye
Fair warning, when you find your paradise, keep it to yourself.

It's Not Your Imagination: Republicans Really Don't Like Science

Speaking of which, has anyone else noticed how often the "usual suspects" here, have now taken to straightaway labeling all lib-ruls (and pretty much anyone who disagrees with 'em), as stupid, fools, dumb, etc.?

So I take it they've all finally agreed on a consensus for losing... it was really 'cuz no one else is as smart, perceptive (or as charming) as they are!!

I would love it, if we saw those two less and less. I don't like seeing the same talking heads on TV week after week, we already know what they will say, it's time for fresh faces.

2 less neo cons with a voice.

Hopefully they will be replaced with radicals.

This is excellent news.

How can one be good at analysis but wrong on the conclusions drawn from that analysis?

His conclusions and predictions can be compared to reality and what ends up happening in the real world. What you like is his viewpoint and opinions, which are unverifiable and therefore, can remain in the ideological bubble.

Of course they are still in denial about the election results. They continue to blame the lost on not getting their message out enough. It's obvious to so many (except the right of course) that their "message" was the problem!
