The Former Majority Leader of the Senate and Repupblican from Kansas will debate the Formerly Impeached 41st President of the United States on Tax Cuts and Wartime.

The format will be a brief opening statement with a followup, occuring before the Andy Rooney commentary.

[ewing]

I think Dole will get his bearings in this fomat quickly, since this is not an open forum.

[Brad’s Gramma]

I'd rather watch a whole weekend of re-runs of The Brady Bunch than this.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Former U.S. Sen. Bob Dole says he's displeased with the first of at least 10 debates against former President Bill Clinton that will air on "60 Minutes."


The two 1996 presidential opponents taped a debate Thursday morning about the wisdom of a tax cut in wartime. It will air Sunday.


"I think it needs to be a little tougher," Dole said Friday before speaking at a Lincoln Day dinner held by Guilford County Republicans. "It needs to have a little more edge to it for people to be interested."


Clinton picked the first topic and Dole will choose the next.


Each of the debates will feature about 45 seconds of commentary from each man.


"I don't know how they'll get it into 60 minutes," Dole said. "To try to get (Clinton) to say anything in 45 seconds is pretty hard."


Both men are spouses of U.S. senators. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (news - web sites), D-N.Y., and Sen. Elizabeth Dole (news - web sites), R-N.C., were "both terrified" about what their husbands may say, Clinton has said.

[ewing]

[pbear8]

I saw them on Saturday Night Live last night and I loved it when Dole yelled, "Bill, you ignorant slut"! I'll keep watching.

You're a bad man..

(LOL!)

[ewing]

Thanks.

[over3Owithabrain]

I say boycott the charade. Who wants to relive the 96 election disaster? And why support Clinton groping for more limelight?

[tom paine 2]

Time to clean the sock drawer.

[ewing]

Look Toon, there goes your legacy going down in flames!

[ewing]

Dole is on Viagra this time, my guess he will come out swinging after tonight..(ironically which he never did really attack Clinton until the last 4 days of the 96 campaign, when he started to gain ground)

60 Minutes has not been seen or heard in my house for (at least) 15 years...probably more like 20 years.

[blackdog]

The loss of Fred Rogers and the viewing of this 60 IQ minutes is just too much for me to deal with in one week. It's like all that is good is gone and all that is bad has become prime-time.
