ALL THE EX-PRESIDENT'S SCANDALS

Dick Morris: Bill Clinton assaulted me
Claims Hillary intervened after then-governor threw him to floor

© 2003 WorldNetDaily.com

Bill Clinton's former adviser Dick Morris claims the ex-president physically assaulted him and was prepared to throw a punch before Hillary Clinton intervened during a confrontation in the Arkansas governor's mansion in May 1990.

"Bill ran after me, tackled me, threw me to the floor of the kitchen in the mansion and cocked his fist back to punch me," Morris says in an open letter to Mrs. Clinton published by National Review Online.

Morris wrote the letter to challenge Mrs. Clinton's contention in her book "Living History" that he was reluctant to assist the Clintons in the congressional election of 1994 because of difficulties working with their staff.

The real reason for his reluctance, Morris says, is "that Bill Clinton had tried to beat me up in May of 1990 as he, you, [campaign staffer] Gloria Cabe, and I were together in the Arkansas governor's mansion."

Morris tells Mrs. Clinton, "At the time, Bill was worried that he was falling behind his Democratic primary opponent and verbally assaulted me for not giving his campaign the time he felt it deserved. Offended by his harsh tone, I turned and stalked out of the room."

That's when the governor tackled him from behind and prepared to punch him, Morris says.

"You grabbed his arm," he writes to Mrs. Clinton, "and, yelling at him to stop and get control of himself, pulled him off me. Then you walked me around the grounds of the mansion in the minutes after, with your arm around me, saying, 'He only does that to people he loves.'"

Morris says he continued to work for the governor until the 1990 election out of a sense of responsibility, but "our relationship was never close and never the same."

He claims that when the story threatened to surface again during the 1992 presidential campaign, Mrs. Clinton told him to "say it never happened."

Morris accuses Mrs. Clinton of "inventing a conversation" to back her version of events in "Living History."

The former Clinton adviser says, "You even misquote me as telling you: 'I don't like the way I was treated, Hillary. People were so mean to me.'

"As you know," Morris writes, "I never said anything of the sort. I had, in fact, no experience in dealing with either your staff or the president's at that point, and had not yet met Leon Panetta or George Stephanopoulos. My prior dealing with Harold Ickes had been 25 years earlier."

Morris doesn't explain in his letter why he later was willing to become Bill Clinton's chief strategist, helping the president win re-election in 1996. Morris was forced to resign shortly after the Democratic convention that year, however, after media reported his extramarital affair with a prostitute with whom he allegedly shared White House secrets.

These were the stories I wish had come out when they were IN office; but everybody had a vested interest.

So Hillary says he only does that to people he loves. I'm guessing, he never did that to her then.

What a pair of fine swine bill and hill make.

Thank you. I believe I heard about his once before. I can't imagine doing anything other than walking right out of there and talking to the press, but then that's just me.

These two should never have come near the national public stage.

This is a really, really old story. I remember Morris, after he became a FNC contributer, telling this story. On FNC. I think the Big Creep was still prez at the time.

Maybe this is just an early sign of an impending '90's Nostalga Craze.

Next thing you know there will be a big Broadway musical hit called Spooge that will be made into a film starring John Travolta and Olivia Newtion John.

Morris is no real convert. He simply working
for Fox so he talks the line he knows
Fox News wants to hear.
Morris is a snake and should not be trusted
by anyone. Morris is scum.

If he wanted to smoke out the truth on Bilk Linton's frenzy, he should've said, "Let me tell you about the day I kicked Bill's ass".

Dick Morris referred to President Bush as a "pu$$y" on live TV (Hannity & Colmes) -- about six months ago. I don't think he's saying what FOX News wants him to say...

This little episode makes me wonder if she was abused - or else why would she say "he only does this to people he loves". Of course, I guess this is only relevant if he really loved her - or ever loved her.

hillary's the enabler.

apparently bill her lover does things that turns her on.

i was listening to shawn the other day and he had a clip of an interview with broaddrick and she detailed how hillary came up to shake her hand, intro herself to her, but hung onto broadderick's hand, saying something to the effect "i appreciate all that you do for bill".

broaddrick said that hillary's comments sent chills up and down her back. it revealed that hillary knew that bill had raped her and approved of it.

hillary revealed a vicarious approval of broaddrick's rape.

You said: "broaddrick said that hillary's comments sent chills up and down her back. it revealed that hillary knew that bill had raped her and approved of it"

I agree partly - I really don't think Bill confessed to Hil about raping Juanita - I do think he told Hil he and Juanita had had sex.

Is that a cold sore on his lip or was he caught at a time when his herpes was acting up ?

One would think that real menfolk in these women's lives would have run that rapist's finger up his own, after his hands had been crushed at the ends of broken arms. Even hillbillies understand that message. He's some 6'3", but no gentleman allows even an Att'y Gen., governor, or ex-president to assault a lady in his life.

Amoral people around psychopaths create messes others must live with. Too bad a AST or SS who saw did not intervene, at least provide corroboration about the rapist-in-chief. Law enforcement officers were accomplices.
