As Media Matters has explained, Dick Morris's contention that the alleged Sestak job offer constitutes an “impeachable offense” is factually and legally preposterous.

But even aside from their factual absurdity, Morris's comments are another reminder that he simply cannot be taken seriously. First, there's the jaw-dropping lack of perspective necessary to conclude that offering a retired Navy Vice Admiral a job is an impeachable offense, but misleading the country about your reasons for going to war is not. Then there's this:

This scandal could be enormous. It's Valerie Plame, only 10 times bigger because it's illegal.

OK, let's set aside the question of whether the outing of Valerie Plame was illegal. The Valerie Plame scandal has literally nothing to do with the alleged Sestak job offer. The Plame scandal involved a White House aide publicly outing a covert CIA agent. That has about as much in common with a job offer for a political candidate as an apple has with an orangutan. And yet Morris is so desperate to disparage the Obama administration, he is willing to pretend the two situations are similar. Either that, or he simply has no idea what he's talking about.
