(2003-06-12) — The revelation by political strategist Dick Morris that then-Governor Bill Clinton tried to beat him up has boosted the former President’s popularity among Republicans.
“Conservatives used to view Clinton as nothing but a dishonest pervert,” said an unnamed pollster. “But these new numbers indicate they admire him for trying to pound Mr. Morris. We’re not sure whether the favorable spike is pro-Clinton, or anti-consultant.”
Mr. Morris, in an open-letter to Hillary Clinton in the National Review claimed “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.”
Apparently Mrs. Clinton rescued the diminutive pundit, but the near-whup experience soured his relationship with the Clintons.
Juanita Broaderick, upon reading the open letter said, “Bill did much the same thing to me. I feel Morris’ pain.”
