Because mocking Dick Morris never gets old ...

Dick Morris on Fox News They don't mean "analyst" in an ironic fashion. Dick Morris is pretending to know shit again.
As the popular vote counts emerge and we move out from under the shadow of the media spin, we are learning the real reason Romney lost.
Apparently this column supersedes his previous column on why Romney lost. Is it because no one bought that load of bull? Nope, it's because of the media spin! Which he's happy to counter. Just like he countered public polling by claiming he had THE ONE TRUE poll.

He's so credible!

The mainstream media is pushing the story that a massive turnout among minorities and the young drowned the white male vote as America changes its demography.
Brown people "drowned" white people? He sure knows his audience.
But the real reason is that the whites who supported Romney didn't turn out to vote.
Brilliant call, Sherlock. White people supported Romney but they didn't support Romney. Where do I send you a check for more of that?
Just look at the fact, brought to my attention by National Review and Washington Examiner columnist Byron York, that Obama carried Ohio by 107,000 votes (some are still being counted) and that Romney got about 100,000 fewer votes than McCain!
I know math is hard, but 107,000 is still a bigger number than 100,000.
Why was the white vote so low? Why did so many anti-Obama voters stay home? The immediate cause was the total failure of the ORCA system for getting out the vote. This new hi tech gadgetry had never been beta tested and crashed repeatedly on Election Day.
That's what happens when Republicans run shit. It crashes.
But the failure of the white vote to turn out was also because neither the Romney campaign nor any of the super PACs rebutted Obama's attacks on the Republican candidate. Unanswered, the attacks transformed Romney's Bain Capital experience into a nightmare of outsourcing and callous layoffs.
It's impossible to rebut what is true.
Finally, the storm Sandy had a great deal to do with Obama's re-election. His presidency may be its most lasting damage to our nation and its inhabitants. One voter in six cited the storm as the key factor in their decision to back Obama according to exit polls, a last minute bump for the president that was not reflected in the polls. Why not? Because there were no polls. The polling firms could not reach the affected areas during the storm. We were all flying blind when Obama and Governor Chris Christie's display of bi-partisanship garnered votes of the Democratic ticket.
I've rebutted the Sandy thing before, but take a real close look at Dick's argument again'

Obama got a bump that helped him win the election in Ohio, Virginia, Florida, Colorado, Nevada and Wisconsin'but it didn't show up in the polling because pollsters couldn't call Connecticut, New Jersey or New York. He's so smart!

Now yes, Dick Morris is stupid, he's always been stupid, and he'll always be stupid. So why keep mocking him? Well, because it's fun, and because he remains a regular "analyst" on Fox News. And nothing illustrates the vapid uselessness of Fox News as an effective analytical outlet than the fact that they depend on this guy to inform their viewers.
