Snip:

"Bill Clinton will make an appearance at 7 p.m. tonight at Harris Hall in an hour-long discussion with Aspen Institute President Walter Issacson.

Clinton is a last-minute addition to the Aspen Ideas Festival's roster of high-profile speakers, but his appearance will not be open to the general public.

Rumors of the former president’s impending visit have been floating around town and the Institute for more than a week. They were confirmed today in The Aspen Times......

...Clinton is joining his wife in Aspen for the weekend. New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is scheduled to speak Sunday at 9 a.m. at Harris Hall as part of the Ideas Festival. The Clintons are also expected to appear Sunday at a Democratic Party fund-raiser at the Red Mountain home of Michael Goldberg."

A little local news from the mountains.

1. Here's an idea for him:

STOP DIRTYING YOURSELF BY ASSOCIATING WITH THE BUSH FAMILY!

Really, really pissed at Bill lately.

2. I expect no "ideas" will come from anything hosted by Walter Isaacson

Between Clinton and the former Time and CNN shill, you can count on more status quo slop.

Sadly, but perhaps not surprisingly, Clinton's post-presidency has been given over to ceremonial self-aggrandizement and polishing our plutocracy.

Very sad; he has a keen mind, but no balls whatsoever.

3. Excuse me?

Do you know anything about his post-presidential work on fighting AIDS in Africa? And how exactly is serving as U.N. envoy for tsunami relief self-aggrandizing?

4. okay, what is being discussed is his latest

foray on bush the meaner's boat. I mean really, I expect to see him named a partner or whatever in the Carlyle Group. Publicity does seem to really matter to him.
