Check out an earlier thread on FR...CBS wanted to pair Clinton against Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, or another conservative who has a pulse and can actually express himself.

According to sources in both the CBS News and Entertainment Divisions, Clinton would only sign the deal if he was paired with Dole, and CBS willingly caved.

As I advocated earlier, I recommend anyone watching 60 Minutes tune out after the last story segment. That way, ratings for the last quarter-hour tank, and the program's overall average drops as well. If the "tuneout" is large enough, CBS will pull the plug on ol' Slick. Sunday night is the most watched night of television in the U.S. Even liberal CBS won't keep Clinton if viewers abandon the last 15 minutes of 60 Minutes...

Clinton is sooooooo lame. Even lamer than CBS, but it's close. Thanks for the info:

I'll do better than that. I'll tune out for the whole thing. I hope it tanks faster than Phil Donohue. Who the heck wants to hear anything that Clinton has to say anyway? I couldn't wait to be able to actually NOT have that @$$h*le invading my home several times a day. I'd be out of my mind to actually invite him back. You have to remember though; this supreme jackass really thinks America loves him.

I wonder why Dole was the opponent of choice?

Is DOLE a MOLE???
