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.

“debate” got me excited.
Moderated Question and Answer seems to be a way to water down the substance.
April 20th, 2009 at 10:14 pmScrew debating…
I want a Steel Death Cage Match, w/ only one man living…
April 20th, 2009 at 10:14 pmAn event that will have all the dignity of a WWF smackdown, a liars’ Olympics, a joint appearance of the two individuals most responsible for the global economic catastrophe. I wonder how many shoes will be thrown at TV screens.
April 20th, 2009 at 10:14 pmMaybe they should have an old-fashioned duel with .45 automatics. Regardless of the outcome, justice would be done.
April 20th, 2009 at 10:16 pmThis could be a little strange. You suppose it will be reflective or a critique of ‘what would do if pres. now?’ Either way, probably won’t be ground-breaking…
April 20th, 2009 at 10:16 pmChain mace grudge match.
April 20th, 2009 at 10:16 pmHow much are they getting paid to be there?
April 20th, 2009 at 10:20 pm“American Ladle”
Where both candidates get to enjoy “enhanced” water coercion and the audience calls in to vote whether they’re telling the truth.
April 20th, 2009 at 10:20 pmWho really cares, I wish both of these guys would do us all a big favor and go away.
April 20th, 2009 at 10:22 pmI don’t think Bush would survive a debate with Clinton. I would love to see Clinton demonstrate waterboarding on Bush! Yeah I said it damnit! LOLOLOL! I’m still a tree hugging libral! Bring it trolls!
April 20th, 2009 at 10:23 pmWill there at least a trap door and a big lever?
April 20th, 2009 at 10:24 pmI guess “Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader” has been renewed…
“George, what happened to the goat?”
“Bill, define ‘Is.’”
April 20th, 2009 at 10:25 pmClinton vs. Bush? Slick Willie will mop the floor with that know-nothing hick. What the hell was Dubya thinking?
April 20th, 2009 at 10:25 pm“Truth Or Gitmo”

It’s okies <3 I’m a tree hugging liberal too and I giggled at that thought too.
April 20th, 2009 at 10:28 pmThis is gonna be good? I’m surprise that Bush would consider a debate.

Oh yea…weak azz Clinton…who’s only real claim to athletic fame is attempting to rape other peoples wives…would get his butt handed to him by “W” The Man.
April 20th, 2009 at 10:28 pmBush will don his good old boy crap, and Clinton will inadvertanely (sp) praise the GOP and talk a lot about “bipartisanship”, which in Clinton’s world, meant doing whatever the GOP wanted him too.
I won’t be watching.
April 20th, 2009 at 10:30 pmWill Bush have a black box under his jacket and a earpiece in his ear?
April 20th, 2009 at 10:31 pmWhat a waste of time.
April 20th, 2009 at 10:31 pmWe can thank adolescent Bill for the last eight years of adolescent George.

Done with this subject ….. Moving on ……

Prove it.
Preferably by a Judgment of Conviction signed by a Judge. Thanks.
April 20th, 2009 at 10:38 pmGeorge W. Bush debating Bill Clinton is like a dog debating its master.

Really? He’s got like fifty pounds on that toothpick yokel, just counting the muscle.
But as it stands, they’re going to have to duke it out using command of the facts, the ability to speak in public and rational argumentation. I almost pity Dubya.
Almost.
/off to go hug a tree; it’s sad and needs a gubmint handout…
April 20th, 2009 at 10:42 pmMick Foley should be brought in to remind Dubya of torture.
I bring up wrasslin’ because that would be more entertaining than this controlled “debate.”
April 20th, 2009 at 10:43 pmHow could this possibly be a ‘debate’? One side says “How ’bout that barbecue” and the other says “Where’s my spitoon?”. Oh, duh, duh, duh.
April 20th, 2009 at 10:44 pmWould somebody in Canada please pull a Gomer Pyle on this mofo and place him under citizen’s arrest, or something.

April 20th, 2009 at 10:47 pmBill, why do you want to Debate the most embarrassing Prez. of my lifetime? Jeez! It’s not like you need the money.
April 20th, 2009 at 10:47 pmWould be sweet justice on both of them though!

April 20th, 2009 at 10:58 pmI can see the bargaining going on right now about what is and is not fair game.

I don’t think Clinton wants your former ‘Torture’ President Bush touching his butt, ugh. Was your wife next in line to give President Clinton a nice BIG BLOW-POP????
I missed that memo about Clinton “raping other peoples wives” where did you get that information from? Was it from: ‘Insane’ Mike Savage or from your phat disgusting leader Rush or was it ‘Crazy Boy Beck’ or ‘Sinister’ Hannity? You got plenty of nut jobs to choose from?
April 20th, 2009 at 11:03 pmkrystalview@48, I felt the same way after Katrina hit and Bill was standing next to Bush Sr. Why be photographed with either Bush? I myself, would NEVER be seen with either of them. I prefer not to sell my soul to the devil.

April 20th, 2009 at 11:20 pmWhy is Bill helping put money in that criminal’s pocket?
April 20th, 2009 at 11:20 pmBubba vs Dumbya!!
A match made in corporate and bank interests heaven.
April 20th, 2009 at 11:33 pmIt’s a good thing for them that it is in Canada because nobody is interested in either one of them over here. I hope they get paid in Canadian dollars!
April 20th, 2009 at 11:38 pmAMAZING!! HOW EXCITING!!
LET ME FANTASY ABOUT THIS DEBATE:
BUSH: “YOU LIED TO YOUR WIFE-YOU COMMITED ADULTERY”
April 20th, 2009 at 11:45 pmCLINTON: “YOU LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ABOUT IRAC”
BUSH: YOU SCREWED ANOTHER WOMAN AND HUMILIATED YOUR WIFE”
CLINTON: YOU SCREWED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND IN THE PROCESS 4,000 AND PLUS DIED, YOU HUMILIATED US ALL
Bush is just worried about his legacy, hes determind to find Saddams WMD`S. He figures while hes up there with Clinton he can take a look around. He knows that Saddam hid them somewhere.
April 20th, 2009 at 11:53 pmPresident Clinton shouldn’t have agreed to a duel with an unarmed man.
April 20th, 2009 at 11:55 pmLet’s see, Clinton IQ 190, GW IQ dirt….should be tough.
April 20th, 2009 at 11:57 pmI compare this to McSHAME’s wanting all those town halls with Obama. On his own, McShame drew flies, with Sweet Sarah, he drew flies plus a bunch of sickies. Obama in a town hall with Obama would have drawn thousands; ie. the reason McShame wanted all those town halls.
Now, think of King George as McShame, and Clinton as Obama. Now, you know why Bush is willing to be humiliated by that ol country boy, Clinton.
On the other hand, can either Bill or King George really rip into each other?
April 20th, 2009 at 11:58 pmBuckie Boy Says:

April 21st, 2009 at 12:11 amIt’s not a debate until Carter shows up. Clinton did a mean job of sucking up to America’s corporate class. That’s why Repugs hate him so much. He horned into their territory.
A Bush-Clinton Q & A can reveal their ties to the Carlyle Group. Clinton privatized the government arm charged with security investigations. The Carlyle Group later sold it for a huge profit.
Bush served on the board of Carlyle affiliate CaterAir, which Bill was in office. George W. sent boatloads of government business to his private equity underwriter friends at 1001 Pennsylvania Avenue.

April 21st, 2009 at 12:24 amThis is going to be a scripted and rehearsed (by bush) presentation designed to white wash the criminality of what was the bush-2 administration.
We’re going to see these kinds of things more and more frequently as time passes, particularly if that Spanish Judge continues to move toward holding officials in the bush-2 administration accountable for the crimes against humanity they committed.
April 21st, 2009 at 12:46 amThat should be interesting. A President who barely made passing grades, debating a Rhodes scholar.

More weirdo news.

“Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton will debate each other next month.”
My Life vs. My Pet Goat. A debate between Bubba and King George? The real question is will the former Internets-in-chief sneak the bottle in his pocket that he yearned so much for 8 years to get him through the debate without slipping into the Bushism language.
April 21st, 2009 at 1:19 amGo Away chimpy! Then again, keep reminding us of your high crimes.
he will definitely carry the teabag repugs club down their final road. ATTEN: Dumbasses! Will y’all hurry up already! Your old white shoot fist club is shot to shit. YOU FOOLS ARE GOING AGAINST THE CURRENT! You have idiots rooting for????
I will accept the 20%ers are the idiots of the US. I bet all countries have about the same percentage of idiots.
of course chimpy will brag about how his denigration will be held in high regards in about 50 yrs. When he’s long gone. he will talk about stupid shit like that. Nutzo!
Will Clinton hold chimpy accountable for his oil grab, shock and awe…? Will Clinton following up with the truth? Or will they play it as one big bff moment? YUCK!
BTW — When did calling Ex-Presidents, President happen? I missed that memo.
April 21st, 2009 at 1:26 amThe Republic of Hymenoptera Stupidity Says:
Ok. I’ll concede on that…kind of.
The reight-wing brown shirts hate Clinton with a passion and depth matching any of those listed. Luckily they’re only the 23% crowd.
But back to the question.
Why?
What’s the motive here?
April 21st, 2009 at 1:28 amGW couldn’t go it alone so Daddy Bush asked his friend Bill Clinton to help. Now GW uses Bushims and Bill Clinton is educationed. This is clearly a charity case for Bill. It’s like have an intelligent debate between a three year old and a Nobel Prize Winner of US History. I do hope Bill goes easy on him. GW has a way of making a fool of himself all by himself.

No a debate between Bush perhaps the most reviled president in history and a fairly good president well loved except by a small minority of moronic hivemind idiots.
April 21st, 2009 at 2:22 amI would like to see the Canadian government enforce it’s own laws and arrest George W Bush on suspicion of having committed war crimes.
April 21st, 2009 at 2:31 amSince the US has no stomach for enforcing it’s own laws and arresting war criminals, it would be nice if someone stepped up and did the right thing.
Seems as though President Obama threatened Spain and made them back off.
I guess the more things ‘change’, the more they stay the same.

You left out Jimmy Carter, TRoS. No matter what our friend, Mycelium, says, the right will always hate Jimmy Carter more than any other president. I could never figure out why, until I learned how the right prefers to divide everything up into good and evil. And since Ronald Reagan was the epitome of Good (based on some new definition of the word “Good” with which I was previously unfamiliar), Jimmy Carter, the man he defeated, must, ergo, be the epitome of Evil.

Wow, the trained monkey debates a scholar. This should be interesting.
April 21st, 2009 at 10:19 amClinton will be giving all the answers. WTF does Bush have to say???
April 21st, 2009 at 10:26 amGeesh…some took the “most reviled” comment a bit too seriously.
My point was what’s the point of the debate? It can only serve to create more derision. (Not that I advocate any fence mending with the rethugs.)
Are they going to serve as the “champions” of the left and right in a battle of ideologies?
BTW-
This used to be a PROGRESSIVE web site…not exclusively democrat. (Under different monikers, I’ve been around before Ryan Neat used to spank MA all over this site if anyone remembers those days.) Until very recently, anyone who criticized a dem was instantly labeled a troll. As a card carrying union steamfitter and small business owner I can say that Clinton did me no favors. He lost me forever when he caved to the rethugs on n.a.f.t.a.
I had hope with this new administration but I’m losing it quickly. “Card check” has been gutted to joke status as well as a whole host of other issues.
Dems appear to be the champions of gay rights, minorities, and the environment.
Rethugs are the champions of multi-national corporations.
Who are the champions of the hard working highly skilled tradesmen(persons) this country will need to put itself back together again?
I’m not a democrat or a republican. I’m a PROGRESSIVE

April 21st, 2009 at 10:45 amIt seems that people forget to address the exs and the current president properly and that is very disrespectful.
Mycelium Says:
Your statement factually incorrect and buys into a false rightwing talking point that Clinton was hated when in fact he was quite popular. I am also NOT a Democrat. I left the Democratic Party when they nominated Joe Liberman for VP
April 21st, 2009 at 10:48 am“I like toast, heh heh.”
April 21st, 2009 at 10:52 amEugene,
I don’t want to beat a dead horse because it’s really a non-issue with me at least. I agree that Clinton was vastly more “popular” than Bush 2 or 1 for that matter. But that doesn’t change the fact that those whom “hate” him hate him with a venomous passion. (Thanks to Rush Blowhard et.al)
The “most reviled” comment was a side comment anyway
My point was that I see no reason for this debate. They’re not running for office or anything else.
Frankly, I’d like to see Bill just fade away and Bush imprisoned.
April 21st, 2009 at 11:06 amThat does come down to the two people who got us to where we are today. Bush Jr was so stung by the loss of his dad to Bill that he started the Iraq war, because he said GHW didn’t go far enough in taking out Saddam. But we’ll probably get nothing substantial out of this stunt, nothing on the record, nothing actionable.
April 21st, 2009 at 11:15 amBush may have been excepted attending a speaking engaugement in Calgary Alberta, known to be conservative country. But here in TORONTO its a completely different story. The mecca of liberalism will not sit and listen quitely. The signs will be out in full force and our dismay at your former president (Bush) will be displayed for him and the world to see.
BUSH ….STAY OUT OF MY COUNTRY…FU**EN IDIOT!!!

Well I am with you on both of those
April 21st, 2009 at 12:57 pmThey’re both hustling for bucks.
April 21st, 2009 at 3:09 pmI liked it better when Bush was cleaning up Barney’s crap, seemed more like something he could handle.

April 21st, 2009 at 3:36 pmWho cares??????????????!
April 21st, 2009 at 4:55 pmFirst of all, I agree with any and all who said in effect ‘Who Cares’. Beyond that here we have a case of quid pro quo on many levels. First, after the Republicans basically destroyed any wealth the Clintons had managed to accrue by forcing extraordinary legal fees Slick Willy was liable for they made a deal. While ‘W’ was doing everything possible to destroy the Bush ‘brand’ GHW offered Clinton a means to redefine himself with a ‘together tour’ to raise money for tsunami victims. GHW would call off the dogs if Slick Willy would lend his stature to the tour. Now, if anyone is so foolish as to think that any group other than ignorant die-hard wingnuts would pay cash to see ‘W’(unless it was, God grant, his public hanging) you are sadly deluded. So, payback time is here. ‘W’ will get his cut and in the eyes of some will no doubt burnish his image. LOL ‘W’.
