Bill Clinton and George W. Bush to debate at Radio City

Excerpt:

Don’t expect a Steel Cage Death Match, but it will be a presidential duel for the ages:

ex-President George W. Bush versus predecessor Bill Clinton, for one night only.

The two ex-presidents have agreed to face off on the same stage as part of MSG Entertainment’s third annual “Minds That Move The World” speakers series

at Radio City Music Hall in midtown Manhattan on Feb. 25, 2010.

The Republican Bush and the Democrat Clinton - always cordial, if not exactly chummy - will “debate topics ranging from the economy, to foreign policy, to the current administration,” according to a statement put out Tuesday by MSG Entertainment.

Melissa Miller Ormond, MSG Entertainment’s chief operating officer, said the presidential smackdown comes amid “one of the most exciting and, at times, controversial political landscapes of our time,” and would aim to educate.

The debate - with a moderator to be named later - “will not only provide guests with an informative and empowering experience,” Ormond said, “but also encourage people to engage in continued dialogue surrounding the most significant current events of our day.”

The two men have actually shared a stage before, in Toronto in May as part a similar speakers series. The result was the kind of mutual admiration society that often follows from having held the toughest job on the planet.

In truth, two have been on better-than-speaking terms for years. Bush tapped Clinton and his father, former President George H.W. Bush, to head U.S. recovery efforts after the Asian tsunami in late 2004.
