Live Thread: Gore on Sixty Minutes (12/15/02)

60 Minutes TV Show | Sunday, December 15, 2002

[kristinn]

Gore being interviewed (on tape) by Leslie Stahl, announces he will not run for the 2004 democratic presidential nomination.

Those of you on the West coast, be sure to see the beginning when Bill Clinton is featured in a teaser for anothe story--the sore on his mouth is frightening!

Will wonders never cease? If people stayed tuned, they saw a segment on race based affirmative action at U. Michigan.

60 Minutes actually seemed sympathetic to the OPPONENTS of affirmative action. The university official who defended it came off as snide and deceptive, and the white woman who is the plaintiff in the case against the law school was portrayed very sympathetically.

By coincidence, they interviewed Jeff Lehman, Dean of the law school, who came off the most snide and condescending of all. It was just announced yesterday that he has been chosen as Cornell's new President - a reward from the liberal establishmet for his defense of affirmative action, no doubt.

His last rating was something like .5. That should warm your little heart.

Hillary is somewhat iffy. For one thing, she hasn't the charismatic personality of her husband. She is not quick on her feet and slick like Bubba. For some people, Bubba was like a friendly neighbor. Can anyone get that vibe off of Hillary? If she doesn't run in '04, I think that she is going to try to rack up some list of "accomplishments" to counterbalance her many flaws. I think that '04 will all depend on W's standing by that time.

[Reagan Man]

Bye bye, Al baby!

See you in 2008?

[Rome2000]

I thought Leslie Stahl did a poor job

You expected someting else from a liberal imbecile?

[Paul Atreides]

Who are you; Mrs. Claus? ;-)

[Wait4Truth]

If hillary doesn't run in 04, she will definitely run in 2008. She'll get another face lift in 2007. However, I think our President is already planning on a way to destroy her chances. If anyone has the goods on her, he does. He is a patient man and a great poker player. I don't think he's going to fix this country only to have her wreck it again.

[Paul Atreides]

Every time I hear the name Stahl, I think of a horse barn....and the contents on its floor.

[Mo1]

I'd say this President has done a damn good job holding this country together

AMEN!!!

[cardinal4]

The only problem with that theory is Hillary would need at least two years browbeating the US media to make her look at least somewhat palatable as a candidate. Regardless of our projections here on FR, she is NOT a popular woman. If she was to run against W now, Dan Rather would have to call the election for W before the polls even close!

[Paul Atreides]

Don't be surprised if he is nominated for an Emmy. If they can give it to something as worthless as West Wing, why not this tripe?

[CARepubGal]

Amen! Frankly the Clintons give me the overwhelming urge to either vomit or throw heavy objects at the TV.

[Wait4Truth]

It would be fun watching hillary and gore in the primaries in 2008. However, I love my country so I pray they are both stopped cold.

[MJY1288]

I hope Hillary runs in 2004, That worthless b*tch won't be able to avoid serious questions or have the luxury of pre-approving the line of questioning before she agree's to wottle her fat arse on the "Donahue" show or some other useless Liberal propaganda talk show

[Wait4Truth]

Nope! LOL! I'm not Mrs. Claus but I do love delivering mouth-watering gifts! Watching Matthews and Donahue tank gives me great joy - glad it does the same for you!

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Well, it didn't seem that difficult to ask the most obvious question, really, the only question: "why have you decided not to run," and yet she never did put that question squarely.

Yes, I was surprised by how poorly she handled the interview. I've seen her do better. She might be a liberal, but I'm not sure it's fair to say she's an imbecile.

[hole_n_one]

Do you think that a photo collage would be a bit too much?

LOL!

[Paul Atreides]

I am just cynical when it comes to the American people. Who would have ever thought that Bubba would have beaten Bush I? He had the media behind him on that one. Can you imagine the machine they would crank out for a full-blown socialist as Hillary? She wouldn't even have to ask. The day that Hillary throws her fat, er hat, into the ring, look for one documentary, profile, feature, television movie, guest spot, interview, etc. after another on that hag. The media will set her up higher than Jesus before it's over.

[Wait4Truth]

Are you sure about that? It took her no time at all to tame the "nasty" New York press. She probably has FBI files on them, too. Hillary always gets a pass, as does her husband. I think the media fears them - bigtime.
