There's no business like a Bill Clinton side-show
By Gerard Baker

IF YOU’RE one of the groupies who hang on to the coat-tails of the vast and expanding global political leadership set as it jets around the world, you’ll be certain to find yourself in New York this week for the annual deliberations of the United Nations General Assembly.

But when you’re there you’re going to face a tricky choice.

Should you sit through hours of worthy talk about development economics? Or should you hasten to the Sheraton, near Times Square, and sip cocktails with Bill Clinton, king of international rock-star politics?

Do you want to hear the President of Gambia outline his nation’s views on the challenges posed by international trade? Or do you want to listen as Mr Clinton and Tony Blair dedicate themselves to world peace and the eradication of poverty?

1. Choice between listening to Bush* or Clinton

I doubt even Republicans would pick Bush*, unless they were dumber than him and that is unlikely.

2. I'd sip cocktails with Clinton anytime.

Just name the place!
