Most of what I know about dealing with clients I learned from Dick Morris, the political guru.

One day years ago Morris and I were listening to a lieutenant governor explain what he thought his election ads should look like when Dick unceremoniously interrupted. “Look, here’s the deal,” he told our client, the second most powerful man in the state. “You guys write the fucking checks, we’ll write the fucking ads.”

Dick don’t play.

Never before or since have I met a man with such confidence in his abilities.
