Dimwitted former cheerleader and frat-boy boozer George W. Bush has agreed to face loquacious skirt-chaser and crafty triangulater Bill Clinton in a debate. With words! In our dreams, it goes something like this:
Of course, Clinton's too much of a centrist company man to bring the hammer down, and the fun will probably come, as usual, from watching Bush mis-articulate his deluded perspective on his "legacy." Still, to be safe, Clinton ought to pat Bush down thoroughly before the debate to make sure he's not cheating again.
The debate is set for February 25th, 2010 at Radio City Music Hall, as part of the third annual "Minds That Move The World" series. Tickets go on sale November 16th (tomorrow for AmEx cardholders) through Ticketmaster at $60 for the cheap seats and $1,250 if you want to join both presidents at a pre-debate reception for cocktails and picture-taking and awkwardness.

How is this not on pay-per-view?!

All proceeds better go toward unemployment compensation, or Bush wins by default.
You offend me and I can sue you since you are not a licensed psychiatrist if I intended to use the legal route. Can even request your IP considering I have vivid proof I was datamined due to this comment.
But then you get in a tit for tat and the charges only get worse. Impeachment, indictments, assasignation, suicide.

I hope that halfway through the debate one of those stage prop zeppelins moves out over the top of the stage with a Greek chorus and Michael Bloomberg in it. Then Bloomberg jumps out and glides down (he is on a hoisting system) and floats over both of them cumming all over theirs head while laughing hysterically. Meanwhile the chorus explains in song that he gets three terms and they only get two.

A: I received a call from a 518 area code number which is Albany, NY after I made my comment. It was datamined then went to my cellphone. No message was left. The number checks out to Albany, NY which is the state capital and today is an election day. No one should be calling me from that number period.
If someone had something to say to me, they could have responded to my comment in kind on the internet rather than going the backwards route to datamine my cellphone back to an incoming number. Not even that, but no message was left to boot.
Telling someone to take their meds is a copout answer.
Lets get into a Hamilton vs Madison duel and take out outside. I will get us two weapons. That is the best way to resolve this.

Guiliani isnt in Albany yet and the Governor race ain't over. So why is Albany calling me now? David Patterson is still governor and Albany is controlled by Democrats.

Well that 'dimwit' beat both Gore and Kerry, and had higher grades than both of them in school. Clinton is a classic case of genius being wasted due to deranged narcissism. This should be entertaining given that nothing is on the line. W has been getting a lot of props for his post-presidential appearances, not to mention his steadfast refusal to bash his successor.

No, I mean the dimwit whose smart handlers stole the election from Al Gore and then scared the plebes into relecting Bush with a strategy of 9/11 fearmongering. (They also most likely stole the election via Ohio that year, too.) Agreed on Clinton, though.

John, let it go buddy. The amount of self-righteous tension built up within you must be incredible.
