First Hillary, Now Bill...

I just heard it straight from Trudi Nelson -- or at least, straight from a call she recorded for the Clinton campaign. Former President Bill Clinton will speak in Madison around suppertime Saturday at Library Park. Trudi says "doors open at 5 p.m."... odd, since the park doesn't have many doors. When exactly President Clinton starts speaking will be anyone's guess. The Clinton campaign site says Madison is President Clinton's last of five stops Saturday, after Elk Point, Canton, Dell Rapids, and Flandreau.

Saturday's forecast -- ah... partly cloudy, 76 degrees, gentle westerly breeze. Nice afternoon/evening to bring the kids to see real life Secret Service agents, not to mention another slice of history for Madison.

Update 20:55 CDT: O.K., so I'm thinking Bill's speech will wrap up around 7-7:30, maybe later, given all the delays sure to come up from all his stops before he gets to Madison. He'll be tired, he'll be thirsty, and he'll be a block away from Madison's famed Four Corners. Come on, somebody, invite the President downtown for a drink, or at least some gizzards. Mark Janke! Get him to come to Rumors! You'd get unbelievable press!
