1. Why not. Look at some of the stiffs that do have one.

I think Dean should have one also.

2. YES AND THAT IS A BIG HELL YES

He has everything it takes to be a talk show host. Just think how many people would watch his show. This could be one of the best things that he could do for the USA right now. The Republicans have basically took over tv, radio just about all news media, so YES it would be great to see and hear him on tv or radio.
ELECT KERRY 2004!!!!

11. He'll need to gain many more pounds for that to happen

To all my bigger sized DUers please take no offense. I just don't like Oprah and when ever I get a chance to diss her I do.

3. Howard Dean WILL, but Bill Clinton was talked about as a host

Howard Dean will have a tv talk show soon, but Bill Clinton was talked about as a host of a tv talk show a couple of years ago, and then nothing happened.

5. Yup. Talk away, Bill.

And, include former Colorado governor, Dick Lamm, too.

And, DEFINITELY Gary Hart!

6. Anyone know a tv producer who could make it happen?

If you want Bill Clinton to have a show, and you know a tv producer, or know someone who knows a tv producer, please discuss it.

8. I think Bill Clinton and Howard Dean are better for television.

I think Bill Clinton and Howard Dean are better for television.

Their appearance is part of their presentation.

Al Gore will be busy as the Chairman of the cable news channel, Newsworld International, which his group bought from Vivendi last week.

Currently Newsworld broadcasts the Canadian Broadcast Channel into 17 million North American homes. Under Al Gore, it will produce its own shows.

12. Clinton is a brilliant communicator

and a terrific political analyst. He's got it all. And as an extra-added bonus, the Rethugs can't stand the sight of him! It just doesn't get any better than that, now does it? Hell yes, we need Bubba on the air, and Dean too! They've got their own damn network (Faux) why can't we get a lousy show or two?

13. I hope that as Clinton does his book tour, he thinks about whether

Because he's a great communicator, there was talk of this shortly after he left office, and I don't know what happened next.

I hope that as Clinton does his book tour tv interviews, he thinks about whether he'd prefer being on the other side of the desk.

But if he's going to help Kerry that way, he better start talking to a tv producer soon.

20. The Republicans control so much. A daily show hosted by

The Republicans control so much (White House, most media, Senate, House, Supreme Court, most state govts)

A daily show hosted by a charismatic ex-President who is a Democrat would hardly be bad news.

17. No. It would diminish him.

Let him give speeches, and be adored wherever he goes. Keep
him above the partisan muckraking.

:loveya: Bill, and I want you to stay presidential forever.

18. Having his own show would make him bigger than doing

Having his own show would make him bigger than doing a mini-debate with Bob Dole on "60 Minutes," as he did for several "60 Minutes" broadcasts last year.

22. Yeah, I didn't like those (60 Mins) either.

I can't wait for Bill's book tour this summer. He'll be
on all the shows anyway. I certainly hope he makes a
stop at Russert-Ho's house and shoves Timmie's face in it.
