Off With Their Heads: Traitors, Crooks & Obstructionists in American Politics, Media & Buisness

Dick Morris

What happened to the unity that so blessed America after 9/11? Where did our sense of determination go?

Our political, journalistic, and cultural leaders have mounted a campaign to oppose and impede the war on terror that seemed so vital in that rare moment of clarity. This book is my personal cri du coeur about deception in politics, journalism, and business -- especially when it stops us from following through on the work 9/11 has left for us all to do.

This book takes on some pretty sacred cows, but it's about time they became fair game.

--from the Introduction

Are you appalled by the antiwar tone the news media has taken since the war on terror began -- especially "objective" news outlets like the New York Times and the network news?

Are you wondering when liberal celebrities like Barbara Streisand, Sean Penn, and Susan Sarandon suddenly became geopolitical oracles whose advice we're supposed to value above the wisdom of tenured experts?

Are you at a loss to decide who has betrayed us more outrageously: the French who abandoned us in our time of need, or our own elected officials, who tapped our 401(k) savings and the tobacco-settlement windfall with equal abandon?

In Off with Their Heads, syndicated columnist and Fox News Cannel political analyst Dick Morris points an accusing finger at the many ways the public has been lied to and misled, pickpocketed and endangered. Whether it's Bill Clinton, who ignored mounting evidence of impending terrorist catastrophe throughout the 1990s, or the members of Congress, who quietly sold our democracy down the river in exchange for lifetime incumbency, Morris rips the cover off the cowardly and duplicitous figures who have sacrificed America's interests for their own.

From private corruption to public treachery, even longtime political buffs will marvel at the astonishing behavior Morris reveals at every level of society -- and at how it threatens to compromise the American way of life.

Because He Could

Dick Morris; EILEEN MCGANN

Who is Bill Clinton?

A man whose presidency was disgraced by impeachment -- yet who remains one of the most popular presidents of our time.

A man whose autobiography, My Life, was panned by critics as a self-indulgent daily diary -- but rode the bestseller lists for months.

A man whose policies changed America at the close of the twentieth century -- yet whose weakness left us vulnerable to terror at the dawn of the twenty-first.

No one better understands the inner Bill Clinton, that creature of endless and vexing contradiction, than Dick Morris. From the Arkansas governor's races through the planning of the triumphant 1996 reelection, Morris was Clinton's most valued political adviser. Now, in the wake of Clinton's million-selling memoir My Life, Morris and his wife, Eileen McGann, set the record straight with Because He Could, a frank and perceptive deconstruction of the story Clinton tells -- and the many more revealing stories he leaves untold.

With the same keen insight they brought to Hillary Clinton's life in their recent bestseller Rewriting History, Morris and McGann uncover the hidden sides of the complicated and sometimes dysfunctional former president. Whereas Hillary is anxious to mask who she really is, they show, Bill Clinton inadvertently reveals himself at every turn -- as both brilliant and undisciplined, charming yet often filled with rage, willing to take wild risks in his personal life but deeply reluctant to use the military to protect our national security. The Bill Clinton who emerges is familiar -- reflexively blaming every problem on right-wing persecutors or naïve advisers -- but also surprising: passive, reactive, working desperately to solve a laundry list of social problems yet never truly grasping the real thrust of his own presidency. And while he courted danger in his personal life, the authors argue that Clinton's downfall has far less to do with his private demons than with his fear of the one person who controlled his future: his own first lady.

Sharp and stylishly written, full of revealing insider anecdotes, Because He Could is a fresh and probing portrait of one of the most fascinating, and polarizing, figures of our time.

Rewriting History

Dick Morris; EILEEN MCGANN

Now, for the first time, Fox News political analyst and former Clinton adviser Dick Morris turns his sharp-eyed gaze on Hillary, the longtime First Lady, current New York senator, and bestselling author. For, as he argues, no politician in America today is better aligned to become president in 2008 -- and none would bring more baggage to the White House -- than Mrs. Clinton. In Rewriting History, Morris draws on his own long working relationship with the Clintons, as well as his trademark deep research and candid, nonpartisan analysis, to create a rebuttal to Hillary's bestselling autobiography, Living History. Morris documents how Hillary hides her true self behind a "HILLARY" brand that is chatty, charming, giggly, and warm -- but is far from her true personality.

In Rewriting History, Morris pierces the mask to get at the truth behind the distortions and omissions of Hillary's memoir. Here we meet the real Hillary, both good and bad: the manager who makes the trains run on time, but also the paranoid who sees all those who disagree with her as personal enemies; the idealist, but also the "advice addict" easily misled by the guru of the moment. Morris describes Hillary's sense of entitlement, and warns that it may lead deep into financial scandal. And he demonstrates how Hillary dodges criticism by pretending that every attack is directed not just at her, but at every working woman in America.

Ultimately, Morris argues, the Hillary Clinton of today is marketing a false front, obscuring both her wants and her assets behind the phony facade of a domestic Everywoman. But as she pursues higher office, she also faces a choice. Will she, like Bobby Kennedy, see the error of her ruthless ways, and embrace the sincere idealism she professes? Or, like Richard Nixon, will she allow the darker angels of her nature to overcome her, jeopardizing herself and the country in the process?

As Rewriting History suggests, we can only hope that Hillary Clinton's past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Power Plays: Win or Lose - How History's Great Political Leaders Play the Game

Dick Morris

Dick Morris is one of the frankest and most incisive political observers in America today. A fiercely intelligent presidential advisor and a popular columnist and political analyst for the Fox News Channel, Morris now brings his brilliant strategic mind to this fascinating survey of the most dramatic political moves in history.

Morris identifies five types of power play and focuses on politicians whose careers have skyrocketed after implementing one of them successfully -- or foundered in the wake of misjudgment. He chronicles both the wildly effective and the disastrous, from ideologues like Ronald Reagan and Winston Churchill, who stood on principle and waited for their moment to shine, to the disavowal of environmental issues that, he argues, cost Al Gore the presidency in 2000. The result is an irreverent and enlightening playbook that holds lessons equally valuable to the planning of a political campaign, a business venture -- or even George W. Bush's War on Terror.

Vote.Com

Dick Morris

Forget everything you think you know about politics. In Vote.com, a revolutionary new book, Dick Morris identifies an overwhelming new force in American politics - the Internet. On his popular Web site of the same name, Morris envisions a world in which current political institutions, special interests, and the media are forced to return power to the people. The overwhelming public support for President Clinton during the impeachment hearings, via the Internet, changed the way Congress and the media consider the electorate. In the process, the fifty million people who log onto the Web every day re-invented our government.

Dick Morris, the master of polling, spin, and television advertising, explains how anyone with access to a computer is now directly involved in the political process and can contact representatives directly and get their voice heard by those who are listening intently to everything the new medium has to offer.

Who knows better than bestselling author Dick Morris where America is headed? His uncanny sixth sense for analyzing the shifts in the public's moods was the driving force behind Bill Clinton's 1996 presidential re-election campaign. Vote.com is his manifesto for the "Fifth Estate," a term he uses to describe the amalgam of Internet technology and the new voters who will no longer stand by passively while the media and the old-school institutions tell them what they think, feel, and believe.

Behind the Oval Office

Dick Morris

Here's the ultimate inside story about the reelection of President Clinton, a story about the inner workings of American politics. No one before has so vividly described what policy advisers, pollsters, and advertisers do behind the scenes in the Oval Office. Dick Morris was President Clinton's election strategist, advising him in the wake of the midterm debacle of 1994 that gave the Republicans control of Congress and, it seemed, certain victory in the 1996 campaign. Controversial and brilliant, Dick Morris successfully laid the foundation for Clinton's reversal of fortune and return to the White House. Based on their twenty-year relationship, Morris draws a unique portrait of William Jefferson Clinton, the man and the politician, exposing the tactics, deals, and strategies which brought him and his party to power. He also shows us Hillary Rodham Clinton, facing the swirling political storms. In an entirely new introduction, Morris paints a portrait of a president deeply at war with his personal demons. He shows us a man who risked his presidency, perhaps not so much because he was driven to adultery but because he loves danger.
