Bill Clinton to debate George W. Bush

By Eric Zimmermann - 11/03/09 05:42 PM ET

Former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush will face off in a debate that organizers are calling "the hottest ticket in political history."

The event is scheduled for February 2010 at Radio City Music Hall in New York, according to the NY Post.

Tickets will cost anywhere between $60 to $1250.

The New York Post:

The event is part of MSG Entertainment's third annual "Minds That Move The World" speakers series.

"We hope that [the debate] will not only provide guests with an informative and empowering experience that will help them make educated political decisions, but also encourage people to engage in continued dialogue surrounding the most significant current events of our day," said Melissa Miller Ormond, who serves as COO of MSG Entertainment.

This should be fascinating. I wonder if they will get Clinton roaring drunk so Bush will have a fighting chance to sound coherent by comparison?BY hopemonger on 11/03/2009 at 19:45
I don't think so. You don't need to get a good liar drunk.BY safewaymike on 11/03/2009 at 20:00

I think GW will hold his own. Clinton will want to dominate the conversation with his knowitall personality. Maybe he'll admit he was the reason for all the FannyMae Freddie Mac crap. Naw, won't happen.BY rednan on 11/03/2009 at 20:57

Democrats will continue to live in denial and ignorance no matter what is said. It is a power struggle for themBY OechsleNC on 11/03/2009 at 21:27
Why are they bothering to do this? I would rather see W debate Obama. He might not sound as sophisticated as Obama, but something else will come through. I always thought W meant whatever he said.BY Wendy Vieja on 11/03/2009 at 21:44
Bush will defend his lie about WMD. Clinton will defend his lie about an affair.Let me see Bush Killed Thousands with his lie. Clinton made a consenting adult smile!BY DV on 11/03/2009 at 21:51
