Bill Clinton To Debate George W. Bush

[FOTD]

It ain't no lie.

It's show bidness....

Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton will debate each other next month.
Former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush will meet for a debate late next month. The event will take place on Friday, May 29th at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. ThinkProgress has been told the "debate" will occur in the form of a moderated question-and-answer session, rather than a more lively exchange between the two Presidents.http://thinkprogress.org/2009/04/20/bush-clinton-debate/

Clinton in a structured debate would clean the floor with this doofus. One would hope that, being as how it is going to be in Toronto, it would be an actual debate. Instead it will be the usual insulated non-debate. Theatre. Hopefully a fund raiser.

A guy who can talk in sentences against a drunk who can't? What sort of competition is that?
Look for the wires on Bush's back again...fitted suit, forgot.

I think this is a great idea!

Bush showed against Gore and then Kerry that he's no slouch in these televised debates.  I'll guarantee you he'll outprepare Bill, although that's no guarantee that he'll show up the Rhodes Scholar.  It will be very interesting.

It depends on how you define success. If it's about making the audience want to have a beer with him, he is indeed very successful. If it's about having a command of facts and putting them together to form a rational argument for his point of view, not so much.
