The Drogulus
From Dick Morris, pundit turned advocate, in a Fox DaySide interview: "We're going to draft Condoleezza Rice to run for president in 2008”
Dick Morris, he of the most exquisite taste, with a penchant for toe-sucking hookers, announces his “Draft Condi” plan:
“...the only person that can defeat Hillary Clinton, that has a good shot to take away a large portion of the black vote, and to stop her from winning the female vote, is Condoleezza Rice. And, I don't believe she wants to run at this point, I don't think she has a burning ambition, but I think she has a sense of duty. I think she does an incredible job at anything she's asked to do. And I think what's going to happen is that Americans all over the country are going to form Condi clubs, draft-Condi movements, they're going to run their own slate of delegates, they're going to run people for delegate who are legally uncommitted but in fact are bound to Condi, and I think she'll start beating the candidates who are actually running. You know, there's a poem:
"When I was coming down the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today,
I do wish he'd go away."
And I think that's really what's going to happen with Rice. I think that she is going to be the person who people are going to be looking to because she'll be the savior against Hillary.”
“I don't care if she wants to run. We have to get her into the race.”
For the record, another Morris prediction, (before the election of 2000), “Hillary is sinking fast. The bottom line: She won't run.” Just a single nugget among his many errant prognostications. Take some comfort in that.
Also for the record, the verse by Hughes Mearns, (botched by Morris), reads:
As I was walking up the stair
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today.
I wish, I wish he'd stay away.
Obviously Hillary is the “man who wasn’t there”.
Wasn’t Condi the “man who wasn’t there” in the months preceding 9/11? Didn't she ignore the warnings preceding the attacks? Did she not conjure visions of mushroom clouds that helped to pave the way to a foreign policy disaster that has bankrupted the treasury and cost thousands of lives? Quite a record, yet Morris anoints the saintly Condi as the "savior" against the evil machinations of the relentlessly ambitious Hillary.
Because of his past connection to the Clinton administration, Morris has become a favorite “voice from the Left” on Fox News, (he shows up regularly on O’Reilly to eviscerate Hillary). His animus toward the Clintons would be enough to disqualify him from local jury duty but he continues to foul the airwaves with his noxious “expert” punditry.
The philosopher A.J. Ayer coined the word “drogulus”, “...it’s not the sort of thing you can see or touch, ...it’s a disembodied being.” According to the OED it is “an entity whose presence is unverifiable, because it has no physical effects.”
Perhaps Mr. Morris should focus his mangled interpretations toward the disembodied spirits of those in power, for they are the ones we cannot see or touch, the ones who weren’t there yesterday, or again today. Their presence and their effect, though verifiable and physical, remain unseen. They are the drogulus, and how I wish, how I hope, they would all go away.
