WND wonders why nobody takes them seriously?



WND Adds Discredited Dick Morris As Columnist
Topic: WorldNetDaily

Dick Morris has been utterly discredited, having shilled for dubious financial-product schemes at Newsmax and making such outlandish and bizarre electoral predictions during the 2012 presidential election that even Fox News would have nothing to do with him for months afterward.

So, of course, that makes him the perfect columnist for WorldNetDaily.

And so, an April 27 WND article announces that Morris is an "exclusive weekly commentator." The article is filled with lots of laudatory claims about Morris' background as a former adviser to Bill Clinton and the claim that he was "called “the most influential private citizen in America” by Time magazine," adding: "As a former adviser to Clinton, Morris is uniquely positioned to write about and analyze the current presidential campaign of former first lady Hillary Clinton."

Dick Morris will fit in well there with the birthers and other conspiracy types

But it just doesn't sink in at WND.

They just keep getting worse.

And now a rival group is going the same route.

That place is nuttier than a pecan pie in a fruitcake factory.

And I've probably insulted pecan pies and fruitcake factories.
