CHICAGO -- Former President Clinton will have a role at the Democratic convention in Denver later this month.Democratic officials said Thursday that Clinton will give a speech on the third night of the convention, before an address by the as-yet-to-be-named running mate for Barack Obama, the party's likely presidential nominee. At President Clinton's request the event will be held at the Blue Fox, a downtown "Gentlemen's Club". Employees at the much raided nude dancing establishment have been asked to remove two poles and a jello wrestling tub for the event. The Obama officials who spoke on condition of anonymity asked that anyone interested in attending the event be prepared to pay a cover charge and two drink minimum and also to bring a supply of one dollar and five dollar bills for the event.
Exactly what role the former president would play at the gathering Aug. 25-28 has been the subject of speculation since his wife, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, ended her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in early June and tepidly endorsed Obama.
