Dick Morris tears apart Hillary for saying, "You can’t always demand everything your own way, or you’ll never get anything done.”

Anyone who remembers the way Hillary tried to ram her "Hillary Care" down our throats, will understand what Morris is getting at.

The winner of the Hypocrite of the Year award goes to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.). Even though the year is far from over and is likely to have its fair share of hypocrisy, Mrs. Clinton’s comment on the need to compromise to achieve political and social progress has to outclass any other current or future entrant.

And, in the Senate, where she pretends to have developed her penchant for compromise, she still has not succeeded in passing a single major piece of legislation.
