Former presidents to face off in debate

Bubba and Dubya are going to engage in a presidential debate for the ages.

Former President Bill Clinton and George W. Bush will square off on the same stage at Radio City Music Hall in February as part of a series pitting liberal and conservative thinkers.

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

The event -- billed as "The Hottest Ticket in Political History" -- will take place on Feb. 25, 2010, at 8 p.m., according to organizers.

Clinton, a Democrat who served two terms starting in 1993, and Bush, a Republican, who also served two consecutive terms starting in 2001, will engage in an "uncensored, unedited and unpredixctable" debate.

"We hope that 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.

The moderator has not been named.

Tickets range from $60 to a whopping $1,250. Tickets go on sale this Sunday.

5. Lol - you are right but why either is so poor they would risk humiliation is surprising
except both may think they are awesome debaters. I sure hope Bill completely outperforms W - losing to W would be catastrophic

19. I doubt Bush does
he publicly commented the first time Kerry and he both had to attend an event (I think the Jackie Robinson Congressional Medal) one - that he was ok with Kerry as long as he didn't have to debate him.

3. I have to believe that the questions will be submitted well in advance
and that W will get to wear his earpiece and hump.

4. Depends on who is hosting or moderating the debate
If it's anyone from the whore media, they'll declare Chimp the winner (just like they did in 2000 when he babbled incoherently about "fuzzy math")

9. Both participants are mischaracterized
Clinton is no liberal (DLC) and Chucklenutz is no conservative (neocon).

16. "liberal and conservative thinkers"
They have 1 thinker and 1 doofus. Shrub needs to be patted down to make sure Shooter isn't whispering in his ear.
