Political strategist Dick Morris accused Hillary Clinton of conspiring with former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in his stinging critique of President Obama's foreign policy.

"I think Hillary put him up to it,” Morris said during an interview on John Catsimatidis's radio show to air Sunday on New York's 970 AM.

“What Panetta is doing is a hit – a contract killing – for Hillary. Panetta at core is a Clinton person, not an Obama person. By accurately and truthfully describing the deliberations in the [Obama] cabinet, he makes Hillary look better, and he makes Obama look worse … And I think he’ll get his reward in heaven.”

Of course Clinton put Panetta the useful Clinton clown up to it. THAT should go without saying.

I think Obama’s doing a fine job of it himself. Sounds like another Won worshipper trying to deflect blame and responsibility for their hero.

Morris ought to know. Hillary orchestrated the hit piece on him and the one on Edwards. It’s never good to get on the bad side of Lady McBeth. Ask Vince Foster... oh wait, you can’t.

The only time gossip isn’t cheap is when it comes with a book available on amazon.com.

The blame for everything that has gone wrong over the last six years is being pushed on Obama. Hillary is clearly distancing herself.

I wonder how many others there are that we also can't ask?

Dick has been a little off recently, but I think he’s got this one correct.

Yes, Arkancide is a myterious affliction that is 100% fatal. Nobody knows exactly how many have succumbed to it.

Yeah, so obvious I wondered why anyone bothered to comment. I guess Toe Boy is still trying to be relevant.

I see the RAT strategy here. Hang out all the dirty laundry prior to 2016, but only in 2-3 week increments. Nobody hemorrhages for more than 2-3 weeks at a time. Voters get numb, Hillary gets elected.

Or not.

or as the #2 on the ticket

No, that will be Juan Castro. Panetta will be a lobbyist.

[tumblindice]

Dick “Mr. Toe-jangles” Morris? And Panetta. Who cares.

[lee martell]

Hit Piece. Hit Article. Of course. I saw the headline and jumped to the wrong conclusion. My mistake.

[Impy]

Morris is overly dramatic.

Dick has been a little off recently, but I think he’s got this one correct.

The problem with being wrong with the frequency with which Dick Morris has is that one runs into difficulties being taken seriously.

Agreed 100% ‘rock.

Bill O’Reilly should have asked Panetta if he thought that Obama was siding with Islam in the fight against ISIS.

But that would be asking too much of Bill.
