What's there to debate? Their views aren't exactly polar opposites (to say the least).

It even inspired a famous parody, the Dan Aykroyd-Jane Curtin combination on "Saturday Night Live" which always had Mr. Aykroyd referring to Ms. Curtin as "Jane, you ignorant slut." Hey, Dole could use that line, easy! Might want to lay off the Viagra before going on camera, though . . .

Will this be like it was on the old Saturday Nite live?
Dole: Bill you ignorant slut.
To: kattracks
What a joke. Hire Larry Nichols to debate Slick. Then maybe I'll watch.

The left-leaning media refuse to recognize reality
Here's what will happen...
Bill will be SUCH an albatross around their neck, for months and months and months ...
But there will be NO WAY to gently get rid of him ...
Because cancelling a president -- even an ex -- from his gig will excite MASSIVE untoward coverage ...
So even if, as seems likely, things keep seeping out about the most corrupt, self-centered, indeed traitorous administration in history, even if personal scandals, as seem likely, continue to emerge, CBS is stuck with the guy.
They simply do not get it.
This should be fun.

"The addition of Mr. Clinton and Mr. Dole could provide a spark for the program's ratings. After a two-decade run in the top 10, "60 Minutes" has slipped out of the top tier, and has lost about a million viewers in the last year."
This might be the most un-biased statement I've seen from the NY Times in decades.
To: kattracks
Dole: "We went at each other hard in 1996."
It looks like BJ won't be the only one trying to revise history.

I have, on rare occasions, watched "60 Minutes." And, invariably, I've been disappointed. So, to borrow a line from Hanibal Lecter, "not anymore."

Interesting - maybe
Enlightening - nah
entertaining - not the segment
firing an ex-president - that's television!

Ahh, well that's a crowd pleaser for sure. What's BillyBoob gonna do next, arm wrestle Phyllis Schlafly?

Hire Larry Nichols to debate Slick. Then maybe I'll watch. Here are a few others I'd like to see Slick debate:
Bob Dornan
Pat Buchanan
Peggy Noonan
George Will
Newt Gingrich
G. Gordon Liddy
Alan Keyes

Dole: "We went at each other hard in 1996."Really? Darn, I must have missed it. As long as we're hoping old political hacks would just go away, can we add dull Dole to the list?

I think this is a fantastic idea and I will tune in to watch it.
I don't know what all you people are pissing am moaning about. True, Bob Dole was a bad Presidential candidate (Kemp was a worse VP candidate), but Dole was a great Minority and Majority leader. Effective, shrewd. He will be terrific against Bubba. And my bet is Clinton will sound far more conservative than he really is, because there is enough time for Dole to make good, conservative points. And every other week when Dole gets to rebut Der Schlickmeister, ... well, I am looking forward to it.
We need more of this kind of thing. Think of it, the battle of ideas played out to a large, ignorant group of liberals. The idiocy of Shana Alexander compared to the thoughtful Kilpatrick was formative in my political upbringing. I used to like to watch the 60 minutes reporters turn the screws on people, and then the left vs right commentary offered a chance to see the two sides put side by side. This is good news and all you nattering naybobs are wrong.

Clinton should have had the class to realize it's inappropriate for a former President to be doing this kind of shtick, and engaging in what will amount to a weekly running criticism of his successor. But of course who ever accused Clinton of class?
Dole should have realized that he is a tired old man, incapable of holding his own against Slick Willy in this format. But when was Dole ever realistic about his inability to best Clinton?

blah, blah, blah..
Toon-'It's not about the money, I'm not running for anything.' It is ALWAYS about the money and he is ALWAYS running for something (UN Secretary General, Supreme Court Justice or the VP slot under the Queen )
