WASHINGTON -- Former U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush will appear together in Toronto next month on a public stage for the first time since Mr. Bush ended his presidency, in a remarkable twist on the cultural cold war that Barack Obama and others are trying to lay to rest.

The two will be appearing at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on May 29 for a moderated "conversation" that is expected to last about two hours.

Either one of them would be better than what we have been stuck with now...

Cultural cold war that Obama is trying to lay to rest. Hmmm, Obama is the one perpetrating it.

hahahahaha, no, no requirement under NAFTA, it's a common misconception that America has to adhere any agreements it makes with other nations anyway, but you can invite them if you feel like some comedy....

Besides that, would you want them to go there? Hell, we don't want 'em, so why would we wish them upon our brother?

Bush will not get confused by Clinton's double talk but can he hang on for 2 hrs? Folks are speculating as to the topics and wondering if the "conversation" will turn in to a "dukes up" debate.

Man, that's exactly what I was thinking as I read that. Is the clip from some left-wing rag like the New York Times? It clearly wasn't written by anyone who knew anything about journalism...
