Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has challenged American President George W. Bush to a debate. A veritable clash of intellectual giants.
What other prominent figures would you like to see debate?
Ghandi vs Hitler?
Saddam Hussein vs Mother Theresa?
Dr_Zoidberg vs Tot? Oh wait, we’ve seen that one.
Muhammed Ali (then) vs. Bill O’Reilly… that’d be good.
Dennis Miller vs. Bill Maher, with Jon Stuart moderating and Dennis Leary occasionally dropping bombs. Not only funny, it’d be damn near the first genuine political debate in aeons. Pass the popcorn.
[quote]When Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, invited President Bush to engage in a “direct television debate” a few days ago, the White House predictably responded by calling the offer “a diversion.” But even though this debate will never happen, it’s worth contemplating.
Both presidents are propaganda junkies – or, more precisely, propaganda pushers – so any such debate would overdose the audience with self-righteous arrogance. The two presidents are too much alike.
Each man, in his own way, is a fundamentalist: so sure of his own moral superiority that he’s willing to push his country into a military confrontation. This assessment may be a bit unfair to Ahmadinejad, who hasn’t yet lied his nation into war; the American president is far more experienced in that department.[/quote]
For starters, here’s a few that might be entertaining…
David Duke vs Fehr (sp?) Kahn
Pat Robertson vs Chavez
Vicente Fox vs Chris Simcox (MinuteMen)
Charlton Heston vs. Hillary Clinton
Paris Hilton vs. Jerry Falwell
