BILL CLINTON TO EXPLAIN HIS RECESSION ON CBS’ “60 MINUTES” (RNC Research)

Republican National Committee ^ | 8 March 2003 | RNC Research

[FITZ]

Still don't know why Bob Dole agreed to go on 60 Minutes with Clinton -- do you?

Maybe because he's not doing much else and maybe he thinks he can debate Clinton ---I won't watch Clinton on television, I always turned the television off when he was on while president so why watch the idiot now?

[FITZ]

How about Condi Rice? Her moral and intellictual superiority could put him in his place.

I don't think we'll ever see either Clinton willing to go face to face against her.

[AndyJackson]

The fact is that this was a good old fashioned bubble at a time when the business cycle had been declared dead. Clinton certainly deserves no credit for the "boom" which was largely the result of easy credit at the hands of Greenspam. The resulting bust is a consequence of the boom. I am not sure any President deserves any credit or blame for any of it.

Dole's abysmal showing in the '96 election & his decision to do something as stupid as appearing with that thing. ...are related.

There must be a correlation--that Dole would lower himself to publicly engage with that POS makes me sick to my stomach. I can only assume he is doing it for the $$ and there is a word for people who sell themselves!

"There must be a correlation--that Dole would lower himself to publicly engage with that POS makes me sick to my stomach."

You're certainly not alone in that sentiment, kid.

"I can only assume he is doing it for the $$..."

It can't be the money, grasshopper; that guy's loaded to the gills - simply *flush* with cash.

"...and there is a word for people who sell themselves!"

Yea, there is & it's called, *whore*.
Damned shame, too; because I really liked this guy at one time. Just as I once respected McCaniac.

Bob Dole outa invest in a good Shakespere.

...& go fishing.

I am with you all the way! I really wanted Cheney to run, then Gramm, then all we were left with was Dole. I held my nose and voted for him and at least we can say Texas went for Dole!

[scholar]

I can't wait to see the ratings. That anyone pays the former Prevaricator-in-Chief for his opinions on anything makes my blood boil. If the ratings are in the toilet, it might be a positive sign that the POS is becoming irrelevant--we can only hope!!

[PhiKapMom]

Think that the Clinton Administration taking all this credit is ludicrous as well as the DemocRAT claims that the recession is the result of Bush tax cuts. Neither case can be made.

Our economy for years has gone in cycles and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

[Reagan Man]

Condi Rice is kinda busy these days.

Under ideal circumstances, the best opponent for SlickWillie, would have been Ronald Reagan. Clinton is supposedly still in his so called, political prime political and he's about 57 years old. Okay. At 57, Ronald Reagan was a political dynamo and in his third year as a first term Governor of California. Reagan would have taken Clinton to the cleaners and shown him for the lying, phony, scumbag he really is.

Absolutely. He was MY governor before he was everyone else's President.

[KLT]

My interpretation of what the x perv in chief is gonna say:

"I didn't do anything, it's everyone else's fault."

[Paul Atreides]

Also, get ready to hear about how he has "worked the hardest" he has ever working in his life.

[Ditter]

I think clinton & Dole are a good match. They both so.... over!

[MeekOneGOP]

Holding the nose is right ! I was glad he carried Texas too . . .

[Stand Watch Listen]

The best man to put Clinton in his deserved place would have been Newt.

Yet, Newt, while Speaker of the House was out manuevered by Clinton at every turn. Newt's biggest accomplishement was the presenting of the "contract with America". The presenting, not the full enactment. Newt could not make any scandal, any corruption, any liberal 'spin' stick in the populace's conscoiusness. Newt's own flaws, own vanities made him ineffective as a Speaker of the House.

Viagra (or maybe Pepsi) clearly clouds one's thinking.

[My2Cents]

I wonder how much we'd have to pay Clinton to get him to shut up!

[jpl]

I truly doubt Bob Dole is smart enough to figure this out on his own, but having Bill Clinton in the public eye is great for us. Every time he opens his big mouth it reminds people of the contrast between him and President Bush, and why we elected Bush in the first place. I hope the media continue to make Clinton the poster boy for the Democrats all the way throuhg the next election.

[PhiKapMom]

I keep hearing that the Clintons are the Republicans best fundraisers. They appear on TV trashing the Administration and the RNC gets donations in return!

[faithincowboys]

are you aware that Al Gore said on NPR (Commies Subsidized by you and me) that he couldn't run on the economy because it had tanked. why oh why didn't Bob Dull bring this up? It would have been great for the 60 minutes audience to hear what the mainstream media has gone to such lengths to hide.
