Asked specifically if she was challenging Clinton to a debate, Jones told Hannity, "Oh, I'd love to do that."

"He still thinks that that was not an admission of guilt when he settled out of court with me," she said, referring to the sexual harassment lawsuit she launched in 1994 that ended in Clinton's impeachment.

"He was guilty - he knows he was," Jones insisted.

The remarried Arkansas housewife said she wasn't daunted by the idea of a verbal tussle with the glib former president.

"You know, I have nothing to fear. I'm telling the truth. He knows who's telling the truth. How can anybody believe that man?" she asked Hannity.

Jones said she relishes the prospect of going toe-to-toe with Clinton. "I would want him to look at me face-to-face and see if he could do it without cracking," she said. "He probably wouldn't be able to look at me square in the eyes."

Jones then dared the 42nd president to accept her challenge:

"I have no trouble debating that man, I would love to do it. But you know what, I bet he wouldn't do that with me."

When Hannity agreed that the prospect of Clinton accepting her challenge was unlikely, she said: "Of course he's not. But I would."

Jones said that she has no plans to read Clinton's memoir.
