No More 'Minutes' For Clinton/Dole


August 4, 2003


The "60 Minutes" Clinton/Dole - or Dole/Clinton - segments, which began airing in March, are kaput. CBS News has officially pulled the plug on the mini-debate segments featuring former President Bill Clinton and former Sen. Bob Dole.

1. Good!! Those segments were an insult to Clinton - he should be above
that. Dole is not an ex-president, he's not on Clinton's level.

2. Also, it was almost embarrassing to watch Bob Dole.
I don't know if they spoke their own words or had them written for them but Bob's never seemed thought through or even delivered well.

3. Good
The Democratic Party needs to get back to being the DEMOCRATIC Party and stop being the Clinton Party.

7. Yeah
I really don't like those two-term presidents, either. BTW, as soon as we get a nominee he'll become the party's standard-bearer.

5. But seriously
Saying its not equal because Dole is not a former president is kinda unfair, there are only 3 living republican former presidents. 1 is dying of Alzheimers (Reagan), I is was never elected to national offic and therefore also does not meet your high standards (Ford), and the other while pretty smart, was never a good debater and also generally refuses to throw barbs at Clinton (Bush), so they were all outta options.

Shalom

Good. Waste of 60 Min. money and Clinton's & Dole's time.
...not to mention that it was a waste of my time.
