Still don't know why Bob Dole agreed to go on 60 Minutes with Clinton -- do you?

I was reading through some press conferences and such the other day from 1998 I found on google.com/unclesam and came across some similar information regarding the economy from 1998. While things were looking ok there were worries being addressed back then about the bubble and some of the things they were planning on doing to address their concerns. If I dig it up again I will post the link.

To offset the cost of his Viagra maybe :)

He's already saying the first one didn't go very well.

We are doomed by our represenatives.

No and I'm likely not to even watch the show. Don't think my stomach, nervous system or mental health can take the double whammy of SlickWilly and CBS.

However I will read here and see what other FReepers think before deciding if I take my shoes off and jump into this one. Too many piles of troll poop to avoid in the media these days as it is.

To learn new pick up lines?

I'm sorry, but between this, the viagra ads and the Pepsi commericial where he's ogling Britney Spears, Bob Dole has official become a media whore.

Next, he'll be the center square on Hollywood Squares.

Great post......Hopefully CNN/PBS/NBC/CBS/PMSNBC/NPR/ABC/NYT/WASHPOST/ etc will report the facts too - but on the other hand I think naaaa....facts are stubborn things for liberals.

I like Bob Dole but he should have never agreed to this. He is the man who lost to Clinton, not the face of the current Republican party. Clinton, on the other hand, is the man who can't let go and continues to be the face of his party. Dole, unless he surprises me, is no match for Clinton.

Maybe he is like Bubba: he'll do anything to keep his face and name in everyone's minds.

Just how was it that Dole was "selected" as Repub candidate against the "new JFK"? Was it simply his turn b/c he'd been around forever and would be his last shot. I still can't believe it.

Isn't his Senate retirement generous enough without the commercial spots?

[Paul Atreides]

Perhaps, Dole was selected so that the Dims could have a big laugh at the Republicans. You know, pick someone who has to take a pill to get it up.

Exactly as I suspected. The Reagan Economic expansion ran up until mid 2000, when the Clinton Recession began.

If it was up to Clinton he would have picked Reagan. The best man to put Clinton in his deserved place would have been Newt. It won't happen, CBS etal. have a goal to build up The Clinton Legacy.

. "Dole, unless he surprises me, is no match for Clinton."

Did you read the story put out by CBS on how he was
picked? I won't even put the link up, it's so
much BS!I will bet that Clinton had to agree who
was the counterpoint! This is a new low in ex
Presidents. Have you read the peanut farmers new
statements? A friend called and told me, you have to
register at the NYT's to read it. I will not!!
It is anti war, anti Bush, says he knows what a just
war is, and this isn't one!!!

Bill Clinton made at least 35 million last year. He and his homely/frigid wife have always been about the money. When they said Bill Clinton did not care about money it was absurd!

It takes big bucks to get the stuff they want. Private jets, homes and the best of the best.

Clinton must keep his face on TV to be marketable. As far as Dole? Same basic reasons.

Rush is planning to tape each of Clinton's responses and then pretend he is debating him. I sure wish by some miracle they had chosen Rush to face off with Clinton in the first place. It would have boosted the show ratings, but the execs weren't interested in someone who could actually introduce Clinton to the truth.
