- Episode 476 : The Fall of Bob Packwood (part 10) Second Bonus speech To the City Club of Portland Sept 10, 2010 - Dole 17
Send us Fan Mail
This is our second bonus speech given by now former Senator Bob Packwood to the Portland City Club.
The Portland City Club has been an Oregon institution for political speeches and debates and it famously hosted his debate with then Senator Wayne Morse who he defeated in one of the bigger upsets of the 1968 election cycle.
He had not been back since his fall from grace as a United States Senator, he will jokingly address that at the start and then give a great speech explaining the budget and what the congress is facing followed by taking questions. It is a fascinating address and Q and A that truly shows off what a brilliant man Bob Packwood actually was...

Thanks for listening!!53 min - Episode 474 The Fall of Bob Packwood (Part 8) The Packwood Interviews Dole 15
Send us Fan Mail
In this episode we give Senator Bob Packwood the final word on his quick and tragic fall.
Amazingly, he agreed to sit down interviews with CBS News, Dan Rather, ABC News Barbara Walters, and an extended interview with CBS News “Face the Nation” with Bob Schieffer.
All over a three day period after he was forced to resign from the Senate.
He is very open about his struggles and how he feels about the events of those past few days. At the time he appeared to be facing criminal prosecution.
That never happened and it spoke volumes about all the non-sexual misconduct accusations piled on him as the scandal unraveled his career.
This will end the scandal but we will now hear from Bob Packwood in a series of episodes covering a couple of his speeches and a fascinating oral history on Bob Dole.Questions or comments at , [email protected] , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/

Thanks for listening!!48 min - Episode 473 The Fall of Bob Packwood (Part 7) 24 hours (D) The Aftermath Dole 14
Send us Fan Mail
In the aftermath of the resignation we take you to the cable news and network newscasts that covered the dramatic fall of the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. We hear from journalist, Senators, and Senate Staffers alike as they pile on after the fall but we also hear from the public and amazingly there is the feeling of scapegoating in the air and it seems Senator Bob Packwood isn't alone in the feeling that everything that happened may not have been fair.
That was a surprising find as I dug through so much of the long ago materials that I had in our collections. We let you hear it all for yourself as Washington comes to grips with the end of the scandal that had so captivated the capitol for the past 33 months.

With his back against the wall Senator Bob Packwood vowed to fight on. Here is the coverage of that 24 hours when all of Washington held its collective breath while Bob Packwood tried to find a way to defend himself from the overwhelming vote for expulsion, 6-0 by the Senate Ethics committee.
the committee kept up the pressure by information dumping 40lbs of material from their investigation. Packwood would reach out to friends and powerful allies, like Bob Dole, and what he found was no place to go. After weighing it all he finally comes to a decision and we take you there in those moments just before he takes to the Senate floor to announce his decision.

About BOB DOLE : 1995 Clinton's Comeback
From the publisher's feed
We begin our third season on Bob Dole's life and career, by traveling back in time to his April 1995 Presidential Campaign Announcement. At that point the Republican Party was on the rise…
everywhere and Bill Clinton appeared to be a sitting duck. Then a series of events would occur between April and December of 1995 that would resurrect Clinton's Presidency and put him 20 points ahead of any potential rival, including Bob Dole. That margin would stay frozen in place throughout 1996. This is that story.
In our third of four seasons, we will look back at Bob Dole's 1995 as he takes off into the Presidential campaign, while also trying to manage Congress. A Congress full of unruly new Republican firebrands in the House under their revolutionary Speaker Newt Gingrich. We will listen as that struggle between the Republican Establishment, the new House Republicans under Gingrich, and the Liberal Democrats in Congress, all converge into a battle for power, all of which allows Bill Clinton to perform one of the most dramatic political comebacks in all of American History.
We invite you to come along with us on a wild ride through the high points and low moments of modern American History, in an effort to show the citizens of today that we are an amazing and resilient nation.
