Report Says CBS Likely to Drop New Segment With Ex-President

Television viewers are apparently not having 'visual relations' with Bill Clinton's weekly debate against Bob Dole on '60 Minutes,' leading industry experts to project CBS will oust the former President from the airwaves.

According to USA Today media colunist Peter Johnson, Clinton and Dole 'have generated virtually no buzz since they premiered in March and have done nothing to boost the sagging newsmagazine's ratings.'

Hence, as executives plan to announce CBS's fall schedule next week, analyists are betting that Clinton-Dole won't be back in September.

Don Hewitt, the show's executive producer, says although no decision has been made about the segment's future, the feature apparently got drowned out by strong viewer interest in the war against Iraq.

This is the worst form of torture for a malignant narcissist like Clintbilly: Nobody paying attention, nobody caring. ROTFLOL!!!!

[hapy]

This made my day. Now I don't have to look at him anymore.
I do get sick when I see the X disgraced Pres.

[b4its2late]

With our luck, clinton will get all 10 shows debating himself (which we know he IS good at) next year and Dole will be on the outs....

[WKB]

Now if the face of the earth would just drop him off!!

Prayers have been answered. The best news that I've heard in a long while.

I totally forgot about that segment.

If only Hillary would get the same response.

If Wee Willy and Dysfunctional Dole are removed, few will notice. I quit watching "60 Annoying Minutes" long ago.

Dear CBS,

Want better ratings? Replace Dole with Newt or Rush.

[SierraWasp]

"debating himself"

Yes... He's a real master at it!!!

[ewing]

Rush versus Camille Paglia or Carville might get some numbers..

[Cold Heat]

Never saw it, not gonna see it.

Anyone with an IQ over 38 would have realized that this whole idea was a loser from the beginning. In fact, I'm surprised to learn that there is enough mediocrity among television executives that it even made it on air.

Clinton wasn't the only problem -- Dole was, too.

This stupid little segment with Clinton and Dole was the equivalent of having a bunch of former NFL players go out at the age of 50+ and re-play one quarter of Super Bowl V.

Since most Americans now see Clinton for what he truly is and are consistently rejecting him, I have a suggestion on a TV show that WOULD be a success and make lots of money.

It's called "The Trial Show". Following a format similar to "This is Your Life" you have numerous guests of Clinton's past come in and testify under cross-examination before a live audience. The viewers would be the jury and after a "call-in" vote, a judge would render the punishment.

Now, the next day they media would pick up on the vote of the country and try to get responses from Klintoon, Hitlary and all the cronies of his corrupt administration. The story would have legs until next week’s episode. This is my vision . . .

Who ????

What show ???

[Osage Orange]

60 minutes is a MarxistSocialistDemoLiberal fossilizing dinosaur....

The only people I know that watch it are blue-haired sheeple.

And Clintons speaking fees and potential talk show compensation will go down the toilet, he needs this show badly!

According to USA Today media columnist Peter Johnson, Clinton and Dole "have generated virtually no buzz since they premiered in March...

I get more astute political commentarty from Hank Hill at that hour.
