Chris Lydon on Dick Morris on the Internet:
Dick Morris actually trumps Joe Trippi with Internet bullishness. “The essence of the Internet,” he said, “is not that it provides a new set of eyes and ears, but that it gives the voters a mouth, which they’ve never had in the media. The impact of that is absolutely historic.”
I’m sure Dick Morris also appreciates how the Internet simplifies locating, negotiating with, and procuring prostitutes, too. The question I don’t recall being asked of the , er, gentleman, is whether or not campaign contributions were used for his procurement activities. But now he can use PayPal!
The Dick Morrises of the world are what’s gone wrong with American politics. Please spare us his opinions.
