"You're lying about my record!"

[bigtree]

That line didn't work for Bob Dole, and it won't work for our candidates either. All that they are accomplishing, besides dominating coverage, is making the election a referendum on themselves, personally, instead of a focus on American's needs and concerns. We need candidates who are able to pull away from the politics of self and spend their time talking about our problems and offering solutions. These squabbles are an insult to the time and effort their supporters gift them with. I can't imagine that most folks are supporting these candidacies because they promise to attack their Democratic rivals, defensively. We campaign for these candidates and elevate them so they can attack Bush and his republican enablers. The attack ads and other efforts to drag their Democratic rivals though the muck need to end. We desperately need to shift the focus of our attacks back to the real opposition.

4. Ted Koppel: Well, at this point, I'd like to bring GOP candidate Pat Buchanan into the discussion.

Pat Buchanan: Hello, Ted. I just hope we can get to the bottom of these malicious lies.

Ted Koppel: Mr. Buchanan, the author is obviously referring to you when he says on page 245: "And then, I saw At Buchanan kick his Nicaraguan gardener and say, 'Teve Torbes, I enjoy your musky Victor Mature-like scent.'"

Pat Buchanan: Ted, that was just a lie. Mostly.

Steve Forbes: Read on, Ted!

Ted Koppel: Alright. On page 167, the author continues: "I was on Ched Choppel's show 'Pightline', when, during a commercial break, Ched confessed to me that he often engages in autoerotic asphyxiation." Now, that was unnecessary. And then it goes on to say: "It was on Ched's show that At Buchanan and Teve Torbes first agreed that Dob Bole should drop out. At said, 'Teve, what about Dob?' Then Dob motioned for At to come towards Steve.." < text appears on screen > .."Teve Torbes, At, Dob Bole, Uchanan, Ucotos, Ucomos, Ucant, Teve, At, Bole, Dat, Boba Fet, Toni Kukoc, Bee-Bo-Bo, Lamar Alexander 2." Gentlemen, reactions?

Steve Forbes: That's wonderful writing!

Bob Dole: Ah, I've just got one thing to say to you, Tteve Torbes - tuck off!
