Bill Clinton, George W. Bush "Debate" Planned In Toronto

Event next month billed as a 'conversation' between the two most recent U.S. presidents


globeandmail.com: Clinton, Bush booked for joint Toronto appearance






WASHINGTON — Former U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush will appear together in Toronto next month on a public stage for the first time since Mr. Bush ended his presidency, in a remarkable twist on the cultural cold war that Barack Obama and others are trying to lay to rest.

The two will be appearing at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on May 29 for a moderated "conversation" that is expected to last about two hours.

Now that will be interesting.

Wonder what "ground rules of engagement" will be hashed out by their staff's. They will be pleasant and not get into a fight.
Clinton's been trying to recruit W to join him and DaddyBush on their ex-pres charity fundraising and lucrative speaking fees junkets. Nice handpicked stewardesses on the chartered flights.

To make it fair, Bush gets to ask any question and make any statement and Clinton doesn't get to say a word.

I think Clinton will kick his ass.

You really do show your colors, when there isn't a need to. But go ahead, make something out of nothing.

 

[DiamondDave]

Actually... it would be interesting and I would watch something like this if televised

 

[YellowSubmarie]

I'd love to hear President Clinton's thoughts on how to get the United States out of the trillion(s) dollar deficit that Dubya left behind

 

[Mr. President]

The trillions of dollars deficit that both Clinton and Bush caused.

I'd love to hear President Clinton's thoughts on how to get the United States out of the trillion(s) dollar deficit that Dubya left behind

But, not the deficit that Obama is building up??? What a hack

 

[Indiana Oracle]

Let's have a menage a cabal. Invite the heads of BAC, C, GS, and JPM and Greenspan.

What a load of self-indulgent crap.

I think it will probably be the nicest debate ever. It would be better if they would mix it up but you know that isn't going to happen.

2 ex-presidents? It will really just be a conversation.

 

[Sarah G]

Not that I won't watch..

 

[wihosa]

It would be worth watching if it was a real debate. Not likely to happen.

 

[Xenophon]

Should be billed as battling assholes.

Bring in papa Bush for a trifecta of rotten POTUS.

 

[Mr. President]

Seriously two people who have a paycheck promised the rest of their lives no matter what the economy looks like. Yeah, they'll have a lot to argue about..............not

Clinton's latest demand is that he'll only meet with W if he brings along the twins.

W says he'll only attend if Clinton brings Reno.
