Know who bugs the hell out of us? Dick “Buy My Book and Go To My Website” Morris.
He’s not really a conservative, just an opportunist. He’s not really a pundit, he’s a shill. No matter where he appears, the little weasel spends more time pumping his books and website than actually discussing the issues of the day. It’s like watching an infomercial. He does everything but say, “But wait! There’s more! Order in the next ten minutes and you’ll receive a second copy of my book absolutely free!”
Take this clip, for example. When radio host Peter Schiff tries to steer Morris into an in-depth conversation and away from blatant pumping of his new book, Morris reacts by hanging up.
And, sadly, he did it before he had a chance to say, “Go to my website, DickMorris.com.”
(Starting at about the 1:20 mark)
Schiff: How about not have student loans at all? That would be a lot better.
Morris: No. Because I think it’s appropriate for people to go to college and to be able to borrow their way there and…
Schiff: But, but, Dick, they could go to college a lot cheaper if there weren’t student loans. My father went to college here in Connecticut, the University of Connecticut. His parents had no money. He waited tables and was able to pay his tuition.
Morris: Peter, I’d like to talk about my book, which is Revolt, How To Defeat Obama and Repeal His Socialist Agenda. ‘Cause that’s really what I’m focused on.
Schiff: Right. But I think part of that socialist agenda is this perpetuating this educational bureaucracy through the use of student loans that jack up the cost of college and enslaves our kids into a lifetime of debt just to prop up an educational bureaucracy. So I think if you really want to defeat some of these socialist policies you might start with education.
Morris: You know what, Peter. You talk to yourself for the next fifteen minutes. That seems to be what you want to do. Bye-bye.(CLICK)
