[ETERNAL WARMING]

They could try putting an outspoken Conservative in the spot....I'd even pay good money to watch Ann Coulter take on HillBilly. Dole is a RINO and no match for Clinton. Perhaps their ratings will tank. I'll do my part.

[T Lady]

From what I heard on Larson Live Monday morning, Clinton just rehashed the same old tired Democrat Talking Points while managing to bite his lower lip a few times; Dole wasn't much better, coming off stiff as a board.

...Perhaps they should have pitted Slick Willie against Ann Coulter-now THAT would've have been fireworks!

I heard that Hewitt wanted Rush to go opposite Stainboy, but the impeached one vetoed that idea. Then it was going to be Newt Gingrich. clinton nixed that, too. clinton's a p**** at heart.

[jagrmeister]

Hewitt criticized Dole by saying that it wasn't clear what he was talking about. As a committed liberal, Hewitt probably had difficulty stomaching the conservative argument. The simple fact is that we're fighting two wars- one abroad against terrorism and rogue nations, the second is here domestically where we're fighting a down economy. The way to do the latter is through economic stimulus by way of tax cuts. That's precisely what Dole said. If Hewitt has difficulty with this, due to senility or other reasons, perhaps 60 minutes should accelerate their transition and get a new producer.

Hewitt is a real gem. Dole could be room temperature and still win a debate with a perjurer, a suborner of perjury, an obstructor of justice, a facilitator of espionage, a rapist, a philanderer and on and on. Hewitt is appologizing for Dole not being up to a debate with Clinton. He should be appologizing for Clinton not being up to the level of just a common traitor. That being his only problem it might give him some credibility in some quarters. As it is, he has no credibility in any quarter. What sensibility of a person with even degenerate morals has Clinton not offended? Now Hewitt puts him on the tube.

What this is all about is Hewitt making a back door compliment to Clinton that Dole just wasn't up to Clinton's amazing debate style. Gag me Don. And ---- you for even considering this you... (I could go on, what would it matter) The Clinton circle of jerks offends me on every level.

"Clinton is Clinton - he's very smooth and there's no question that when he gets through, you know what he said," Hewitt said.

Except for that word, "is". And because everything out of his mouth is a LIE!

[Mo1]

I don't think Dole really came to grips in the manner that he's famous for in his response to Clinton, and we're going to try to plug those holes."
Hewitt said Dole "knows he can do better - he called me and said, 'I don't think I was as sharp as I could have been.'
"Clinton is Clinton - he's very smooth and there's no question that when he gets through, you know what he said," Hewitt said.

He only complains about Dole??

Why do I get the feeling this is a set up?

I can see the headlines now ..
The Big Bad VRWC attacks Clinton again

[xm177e2]

They should even things up, and put Dole against Gore. That would be fair. The current matchup is like night and day, like Hannity and Colmes!

HEWITT: I BLEW IT

Now, I thought that was Monica's "job"......;-)

[sheik yerbouty]

I hope we won't hear that Hewitt will be Bill's intern.

[First_Salute]

If Hewett wants to improve the ratings, he should have Al Sharpton opposing Bill Clinton.

[Hank Rearden]

Sheesh, OldBob is 149 years old - what did they expect?

They expected the old coot to be overmatched by the Slickmeister, and that's what they got.

OldBob "I need Viagra to get the blood flowing" Dole is exactly the image of anti-Clinton they want. And the Stupid Party didn't seem to object much, did it?

[danneskjold]

"It's all about the words," Hewitt said. "I'm one of the few guys in television who realized a lot of years ago that this is a business about words - not necessarily about pictures."

what an egotistical idiot...

[leadpenny]

Not one of these three people should have anything to do with telling Americans anything anymore.

Bill Clinton should be in jail and Hewitt and Dole should be at the Dog Track.

[Taxman]

You have me confused, Don.

Confused with someone who gives a $hit what Bob Dole and Slick Willie think about anything!

[AppyPappy]

Read my lips: Neal Boortz.

[Fraulein]

"We're going to make sure it looks like more of a confrontation next time," Hewitt told The Post yesterday.

Notice the language. They only want it to look more like a confrontation. They do not say that they actually want it to be one.

[RooRoobird14]

May this whole STUPID idea die a horrible, lingering death......

Hewitt obviously has scabs on his knees from his participation the Clintoon Kneepad Club.....

[Jim Noble]

Xlinton already has beaten Dole when it counted.

Get someone else.

[skeeter]

"Clinton is Clinton - he's very smooth and there's no question that when he gets through, you know what he said," Hewitt said.

What I really love about Don Hewitt is his sense of humor.
