Former President Bill Clinton, admits he lied on national television in a 1992 post-Super Bowl CBS interview.

Clinton appeared with his wife, Hillary, in the interview and told CBS correspondent Steve Kroft that he categorically denied having any extra-marital involvement with Gennifer Flowers. Hillary knew at the time of the interview that he was lying to Steve Kroft, lying to CBS, and lying to the world.

When asked recently by CBS 60 Minutes' Dan Rather how he managed to get Hillary to agree to appear with him in the 1992 interview -- knowing as she did, that he was going to lie and deny the Flowers affair -- Clinton replied, "Oh, she wanted to go..."

In his memoir, "My Life," Clinton writes that he was so furious at Kroft for prying into his personal life that he wanted to "slug him."
