>>Dole is on Viagra this time, my guess he will come out swinging after tonight.

In the NASCAR race this afternoon at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, a car sponsored by Viagra (don't remember who it was) had an engine blow up.

Seemed fitting.

And my advice to both men who appeared on 60 minutes would be: Don't quit your day jobs.

Sick William J Klintoon wanted to rescind the tax cut.

Sen Robert Dole tried to counter this, but wound up offering his tax cut to a charity of Klintoon's choice if Sick Willie would do the same.

And Dole actually suggested the Sick William Klintoon Memorial Liberry as a recipient.

Not the Brady Bunch!!! Maybe the Partridge Family. "Come on get happy."

[Norman Arbuthnot]

Clinton has used Dole's shoulders to boost himself up for years. Dole seems unable to notice he's nothing but Clinton's patsy.

Dole elevated by addressing as "Mr. President". He gave him more respect than he deserves. Dole should have addressed X42 as Mr. Clinton, or maybe just Bubba.

These dang taglines hang on forever. This post is to get rid of an old tagline.

I agree, Howlin....Bad, just bad.

Do you mind if I steal those words and send them to my senator, Mrs. Dole?

[Howlin]

Well, I actually hesitated to say that on here; yesterday when I posted that Michael Savages's show was DREADFUL, I was attacked by a LOT of people.....geez, people need to lighten up!

[RAT Patrol]

Dole should have addressed X42 as Mr. Clinton, or maybe just Bubba. LOL, or my favorite: Stainmaker.

[Howlin]

It was BORING as hell. They look exactly like what they are: two washed up politicians still trying to stay relevant.

[RAT Patrol]

Do you mind if I steal those words and send them to my senator, Mrs. Dole? ROTFL! They're yours.

[Howlin]

I swear I won't mention your name. :-)

[Free State Four]

until the last 4 days of the 96 campaign, when he started to gain ground)

I think in that last week, the Dole people finally woke up and smelled the coffee and realized they had been bamboozled by the national committee and that Dole had lost in a big way and they might as well do what they wanted. Dole was my Senator, and while he was way too much of a RINO for me, he is an intelligent funny man with a very, very acerbic wit. And he has a quick draw mouth. Why they slapped duct tape over that mouth in the 96 campaign is beyond me. But what you saw in the last 4 days was the real Bob Dole.

As for watching Clinton on 60 Minutes - I'd rather have dental surgery without anesthesia.

[Jhoffa_]

Well, did Clinton kick his teeth in?

Cause that's what I was expecting..

(I wish it had been someone more like Newt, Clinton's ol'e arch rival, as opposed to Dole. Then I might watch.)

[The Electrician]

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

Supposedly the topic was suggested by Clinton. For Dole to have accepted it was a serious mistake - the topic was obviously chosen as a "have you stopped beating your wife yet" topic. It assumes that tax cuts are bad, which plays right into Clinton's hands.

But maybe Dole will wise up quickly and propose a topic for the next "debate" - for example, should Senators and Congressmen actively undermine the President in a time of war...

[cardinal4]

Theres just no way to gloss over the toons presence. Any show will be bad with Clinton on there. The crimes he committed during his occupation of the White House, renders his opinions, thoughts or statements moot.

[ChadGore]

I just knew that clintons ego couldn't let him stay out of the limelight. After what he did to american famlies, after what he did to this country, it pisses me off me beyond words that any respectable news station would give him an ounce of credibility.

Bill, you truly ignorant egotistical slut.

[Howlin]

No, it was all very stilted and very BORING. No argument at all.

They weren't even in the same studio at the same time!

[Steven W.]

He is not "formerly impeached". He remains impeached forever. In fact he remains the first elected president to be impeached, forever. that is the beauty of it! ;)

[potlatch]

How long did this 'debate' last. Howlin? I had 60 Minutes on with the regular people, went to another room to double check the newspaper, and I NEVER did see them!!?
