It's 42 vs. 43.
It's Democrat vs. Republican.
It's Clinton vs. Bush.
That's right, the two former presidents are set to take the podium at the Gibson Amphitheater at Universal Studios Hollywood in February.
Tickets went on sale Thursday morning for the face-to-face feature of the former leaders of the free world. It's still unclear if the format will be a debate, a question-and-answer session or if both former Prez's will simply give speeches.
Political Analyst Sheri Bebbitch-Jeffe says she doubts the event will be a heated one. "I can't believe they'll be ugly to one another," she said Wednesday, "they're former presidents, both part of a very small, elite club."
It's part of the American Jewish University's 2010 Public Lecture Series. The two will take the same stage February 22.
Clinton has made several appearances during the series' history. In 2004 he spoke with Sen. Bob Dole, his 1996 presidential challenger.
There was at least one more event where both Clinton and Bush were to speak - in New York City - but the Clinton camp cancelled, claiming the hype around a potential conflict was too high.
Tickets fo the event went on sale Thursday with prices ranging from $75 to $125. For more information, call 310-44-1246.
