Bill Clinton to tout book on “60 Minutes”

[CatWoman]

June 1, 2004 | New York -- Bill Clinton, memoir writer, should get better ratings for doing “60 Minutes” than did Bill Clinton, co-host of “Point-Counterpoint.”

Clinton, who flopped last year as a commentator for the CBS television news magazine, will discuss his upcoming book, “My Life,” with newsman Dan Rather for an interview to be aired Sunday, June 20.


“It's a platform that serves up one of the more consistent viewerships in television,” Paul Bogaards, a spokesman for Clinton's publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, said Tuesday.

“My Life” will be published June 22 with a first printing of 1.5 million. “60 Minutes” has been a key forum for some of the year's biggest political books, including Richard Clarke's “Against All Enemies” and Bob Woodward's “Plan of Attack.”

3. Can't wait to see the Big Dog on the shows!

He'll have a few choice words for the direction the country has taken in the past few years, I'm sure.
