Clinton, Couric, Blitzer take in USA-Ghana Match
TV Newser ^ | June 27, 2010 | Chris Ariens

Posted on 06/27/2010 1:50:55 PM PDT by abb

In addition to participating in the Fortune, TIME and CNN Global Forum in South Africa (the 11th iteration), speakers including Katie Couric, Wolf Blitzer and former Pres. Bill Clinton caught some of the action at yesterday's USA / Ghana match at Royal Bafokeng Stadium.

Other scheduled speakers included Suze Orman and Tavis Smiley, but neither could make it. During halftime of the game, Blitzer Tweeted this picture of Couric, himself and a famous musician.

Another perk: really cool matching red jackets. Orman would be proud.

Substitute George Bush, Roger Ailes and Rush Limbaugh in that picture and tell me what would be the reaction from the State-Run Media.

Miss Emily has died

I just can’t get interested in this stuff. I’d be obliged if you’d take me off the ping list.

Kind regards,

Looks like a staged picture. Clinton was sitting with Mick Jagger during the game.

Was that Mick Jagger? I saw Clinton at the game on TV yesterday and thought it was George Stephanopoulos next to him. Maybe it's because I'm more familiar with Stephanopulos.

Soccer has been promoted in the US by the left because it advances their globalization and internationalism agenda more than any other sport. Not surprising that all or most the participants in that conference he attended were lefties.

John, I and I’m sure many others on here are praying for you in your loss. I’m glad you had 26 years.

All kidding aside, I was watching this and we noted Jagger + Clinton and a pile of Couric on the seat next to him. Oddly when USA scored, Bubba and Kouric were ... gone. Seriously, they just took off. Who knows where?
