…is working the casino circuit, and at Caesars Palace, no less:
President Bill Clinton will speak at The Colosseum @CaesarsPalace on Mon., Feb. 22 at 7:30pm. Tickets go on sale Monday!
Why do I say “another?” About a year and a half ago, Mikhail Gorbachev played the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood Hotel and Casino.
So if the hierarchy is Clinton–> Caesars, Gorbachev–>Hard Rock, who is going to sign for the Star of the Desert Arena in Primm?
Seriously, that’s got to be a bit of a comedown–from leader of the free world to a casino showroom. At least Reagan could say that his gig at the New Frontier came 25 years before his presidency.
I love Billy. I really do. I consider him to be like my big brother.
His autobiography is good reading (if you skim thru some of the more boring political parts). His childhood was interesting. He used to get picked on by school bullies for wearing ‘farmer style’ denim (not Levi brand) pants. Plus, he lived next door to a model-railroad store and developed a true love for all things involving railroads.
I wish I could be able to shake his hand. He kept America out of war for 8 years…and that’s a good accomplishment in itself.
But I actually got really mad at him when he didn’t tell the full truth about the Monica affair. I mean…my goodness Bill…in the Oval Office…on Easter Sunday no less.
And when he used his “it depends on what your definition of “is” IS”….that really threw me for a loop.
But….it was brilliant lawyering:
“IS he having sex with Monica L”.
Not at this very moment. No.
“HAS he had sex with her then?”
“Well, it depends on what your definition of sex is. If you mean full intercourse…the answer is no”.

Mr. Darrow would have loved that ‘legal’ maneuver and twist is verbage….and reliance on present and past tense language.

“Star of the Desert Arena in Primm?”
GWB III. There’s a phone call for you.
Some comedian once did a routine about how small-claims litigators act when they go to ‘People’s Court’ and suddenly try attempting to speak legalese.
“Ya Honer. Subsequent to the proceedings I was parked adjacent to the Defendant, perpendicular to the parallel-o-city of my Plaintiffied vehicular motor vehicle, as the oncoming traffic was increasing velocity incumbent on my particular civil rights status which were bearing no fortitude of compliance to my delinquency in leaving the specified location of this prestigious establishment of alcoholic servitude which I spelled out in my prior testimony to the law enforcement officer of which I henceforth made testimonial testimony, preceding my one month employment as a sanitation engineer in the custodial arts, herewith mentioned while I was trying to tell the officer my deposition”.
“Too put it simply Yawner. I object to the allegations made by the Alligator”.

I can’t come up with much, maybe Pierre Treadeu, Canadian PM from the 1970′s (if he is still alive). He had a flashy image. Hosni Mubarek? From Egypt? I just love that name. Imagine “Now appearing at the Star Of The Desert Arena-Egyptian Hosni Mubarek!”. That would be legendary.
Since the Primm venue is mainly known for washed up fighters and has-been entertainer, I think Spiro Agnew would be a huge draw down there. Or how about little Danny Quayle! They could bring up members of the audience for a spelling bee. First one who spells “potato” correctly wins a trip across the road to Whiskey Pete’s!
Chevy Chase and Gerald Ford in a return to their 1970′s heyday. “Hit The Ground Running, The Chevy And Gerry Show!” Hilarity ensues when you see the classic hijinks and pratfalls from the peak era of the former Head of Comedy and the Head of State!
