Gringrich vs Kerry

So you're a washed-up presidential candidate with little chance to win the nomination, so what do you do? You team up with another washer-up presidential candidate and have a debate! Um, am I missing something?

Former House Speaker and possible presidential candidate Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) and 2004 Democratic nominee Sen. John Kerry (Mass.) are set to square off on climate change next week, their staffs announced Thursday.
The debate, hosted by New York University’s John Brademas Center for the Study of Congress, will take place next Tuesday, April 10, at 10 a.m. in the Russell Senate Office Building.

Kerry, who bowed out of the 2008 presidential race earlier this year, has been dubbed an “environmental champion” by the non-partisan League of Conservation Voters. His website touts a long record of fighting for the environment. He and his wife Teresa Heinz Kerry also recently wrote This Moment on Earth, which addresses climate change and preserving the environment.

Feel free to argue that Gingrich is not washed up, but don't even try with Kerry. He was the Bob Dole of the last election - nominated only because it was his turn.
