The Dick MORRIS-Roy COHN Wingnut Web--Jules FEIFFER?!

[UTUSN]

This started out relaying wingnut gossip queen Cindy ADAMS (the oldest person in the world named "Cindy")'s useful vignette of Roy COHN, in the spirit of "know thine enemy". There is a keen quote foreshadowing the Shrub selection, "Forget this (lawbooks). Just give me the judge. Just tell me who's the judge." I was going to throw in the reminder that Dick MORRIS is COHN's cousin, and in fetching links to back THIS assertion up, there was ANOTHER cousin, surprisingly, Jules FEIFFER. Just in the first two Googled links were SCADS of MORRIS's GOP clients all the way back to Prescott BUSH.

.... Roy's law library was a jumble. Books on the floor. Briefs scattered anywhere. His comment? "Forget this s - - - . Just give me the judge. Just tell me who's the judge." ....

....Morris, who is a cousin of the late New York City mob lawyer, J. Edgar Hoover intimate, and all-around scoundrel Roy Cohn, ....

For the past 15 years, Dick Morris has been a behind-the-scenes operator, whose political clients have included President Clinton, as well as such Republican enemies of the President as Senators Jesse Helms (N.C.) and Trent Lott (Miss.), and Governors Tom Ridge (Pa.), William Weld (Mass.), and Pete Wilson (Calif.). In 1988, Morris worked on George Bush's Presidential campaign staff (his ties to the Bush family date back at least to 1980, when he ran Prescott Bush Jr.'s unsuccessful campaign for the U.S. Senate seat from Connecticut). Under these circumstances, it is no wonder that many Democratic Party campaign officials considered Morris a "GOP mole." Those feelings were buttressed by stories about Morris telling his GOP clients that Clinton was going to be brought down by the Whitewater special prosecutor. ....

First, Morris virtually admitted that he had been behind the surfacing of the Gennifer Flowers scandal, back in February 1992, when Clinton was in the midst of his primary election campaign in New Hampshire. If, indeed, Morris played a role in that incident, it places him in bed with one of the President's most filthy political enemies, Larry Nichols, a low-level operative within the George Bush-Oliver North Nicaraguan Contra circuit, linked to the Mena, Arkansas guns-for-drugs nexus. ....

Second, for the first time in public, Morris admitted that his family was tied to Roy Cohn. Morris tried to downplay the Cohn link, placing more emphasis on Cohn's father, Bronx Democratic Party fixer Al Cohn, than on the McCarthy witch-hunter and J. Edgar Hoover's closet homosexual snitch Roy Cohn. ....

.... Cohn had raised Gene like a son after Gene's natural father abandoned him. Cohn's youngest child was Roy Cohn, who grew up to be one of the most hated and feared right-wing power brokers of his generation. Another Morris cousin is the liberal cartoonist Jules Feiffer. The tug of opposing ideologies is encoded in his genes. ....
