Appearing on the October 25 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, Dick Morris, a political analyst and former adviser to President Clinton, echoed previous statements regarding White House senior adviser Karl Rove and Rove's potential indictment for involvement in the CIA leak case. Morris repeated that Rove “doesn't deserve an indictment,” adding, “He piloted Bush to re-election” and had “a lot to do with saving this country from terrorism.” Morris also declared, “I weep for him [Rove]”, after saying to co-host Alan Colmes that if Rove committed perjury, “he should be indicted.”

On the October 20 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, Morris said of Rove: “I love Karl Rove. He deserves better. He's magnificent. He elected Bush. The country owes him a debt.”

From the October 25 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes:

COLMES: Dick, what do you expect to happen tomorrow? Do you expect indictments tomorrow? And who do you think could get indicted?

MORRIS: Yeah, I think -- I hope there are not, because Rove certainly doesn't deserve an indictment. He piloted Bush to re-election and did have a lot to do with saving this country from terrorism. But I do think there will be.

[...]

COLMES: Are you saying that Karl Rove should not be indicted because he did such a great job electing such a great president?

MORRIS: No.

COLMES: Did I hear you say that?

MORRIS: No. I'm saying, if he committed perjury -- no. I'm saying he should be indicted if he committed perjury. And if he did it, he should be convicted. I'm saying that I weep for him, and I'm sorry about it, because this country does owe him a huge debt of gratitude for the good things he did for George W. Bush.
