Political pundit Dick Morris will not be returning as a contributor at Fox News, according to The Washington Post. Morris's contract has expired and Fox News has decided not to renew it. Morris, who was a political adviser to Bill Clinton before he became a commentator, author and popular columnist, made what turned out to be a very embarrassing mistake in his commentary on Fox News when he insisted that Mitt Romney would win the 2012 presidential election by a landslide. Many believe this laughably erroneous prediction was the reason he was let go by the cable news network.
Morris has also been the subject of criticism for "accepting paid advertisements on his website from candidates that he discussed on the air at Fox," according to the Associated Press.
This news, coming on the heels Sarah Palin's departure from Fox News, could be a sign that the network is trying to alter their image. Morris, like Palin, is a somewhat controversial and polarizing figure who can be very bold in his statements.
Whatever his faults may be, few would argue that Dick Morris was one of the most colorful pundits on Fox News, which says a lot considering some of the flamboyant personalities featured on the network. He was also able to offer a unique perspective as a result of his experience working for both Democratic and Republican candidates.

Morris is amusing and enjoyable enough; but by letting him go (along with Conservative stalwarts like Palin), and adding complete loons like Kucinich, indicates something that I don't take pleasure to contemplate...
The Female is stupid because she fears the Truth and therefore refuses to learn it; a Male, because he disregards it.
You have a great point about the Male morons I come across on a daily basis; however, my comment comes with a very big caveat:
For Men, their stupidity stems not from a lack of knowledge (or, equally-importantly, understanding), but of an abundance of denial and desire to be accepted by a Feminised Society.
For Women...sorry, Sue...it stems from ignorance, and from the need for every Woman alive (virtually) to arrive at decisions and ideologies out of and through their emotions...NOT their reasoning.
I love you, too :)
Give some thought to feminisation, Maks. It is indeed what trips you.
You might give more careful consideration to the Character of the Women in my Life. Women like Renee, and the many others, are Truly exceptional, and exhibit a kind of courage that you don't seem to understand.
"A Man will have none of the extreme feminist misandry, nor the feminised "political correctness" that you've lapped up so willingly."
I've done nothing of the sort, it's your disdain for women and excuses for it that I'm refusing to lap up. I was very specific about my objections, you need to work out what projecting is.
"It takes a Man to tell an unpleasant Truth; and a coward to avoid it."
Yeah well, I know it's hard for you to hear but the 50's are over Mark, treating women with contempt is what is cowardly, don't get it twisted. Subservience to attitudes likes yours is particularly so. I give big credit to Sue here for hers.
"Women like Renee, and the many others, are Truly exceptional, and exhibit a kind of courage that you don't seem to understand."
I agree that Renee is an exceptional woman, I'm bewildered by the fact that she puts up with some of the stuff you write. I think you need to consider the log that protrudes from your own eye before suggesting what others need to do Mark.
{It takes a Man to tell an unpleasant Truth}
That certainly excludes you !!!
You are as GN member maks stated, nothing more than a misogynistic asinine loudmouth punk with an extremely chauvinistic mentality. A self centered little weasel of a man who projects an image which can only be viewed as a person who is completely devoid of both ethical and moral values. Your grandiose posturing before the reading membership only serves to illuminate such as being a false bravado and to highlight your actual mental cowardice as a man in regards to women.
As to your supposed close association with Renee Nal, without question, the two of you deserve each other. IMO, any woman who would allow a person with your demonstrated loathing of women, to refer to her as "Doll, Sweetheart, Babe and Girl" has no self respect, which puts the two of you in the same category.
I can fully understand how that could put you off, though.
It's always stood out to me, as well. I just didn't let it bother me.
No it means he's getting smart. Stop letting the right wing kooks express their views and let the left explain theirs. They should have done this years ago.
Morris is an idiot
I wholeheartedly agree and that's what puzzels me the most. Why would Fox News get rid of a man who fits right in with the rest of the idiots they employ at that newtwork ???
So it does not bother me if he is unemployed.
