Clinton Haters Look to Mock His Library

By DAVID HAMMER, Associated Press Writer

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Just a few blocks from the future site of Bill Clinton 's $160 million presidential library, a couple of Clinton haters hope to open a museum devoted to mocking his presidency.

"As long as he's talking, we'll have to be here trying to keep him somewhat honest and stop him from rewriting history," says John LeBoutillier, a former Republican congressman from New York who rode Ronald Reagan 's coattails to victory in 1980.

LeBoutillier and his partner, Houston businessman Richard Erickson, plan to call it the Counter-Clinton Library. They say the museum here and one planned for Washington will look at such topics as Whitewater, Monica Lewinsky, the last-minute pardons, even damaged White House furniture.

"We already hear he's going to bring a bunch of egghead economists to his library to say how great the economy was when he was president," LeBoutillier says. "And we'll find our own who can say it had nothing to do with him."

The two partners hope to open their place the same day that Clinton's opens in November 2004. They say they will need $5 million. LeBoutillier says thousands of donations have come in and the average one is $72, but he will not say exactly how much has been raised so far.

Dick Morris, the Clinton strategist who resigned in a sex scandal, has pledged stacks of his insider documents, as has Gary Aldrich, the former FBI agent who wrote a best seller about Clinton's scandals.

"We think people will want to come out of the Clinton Library and head immediately down the street to us to get the rest of the story," LeBoutillier says.

In recent appearances, Clinton said that the big picture of his presidency is being obscured and that his library will set the record straight.

The designer of the Clinton museum, Ralph Appelbaum, said the place will deal with Clinton's impeachment, but will focus on how Clinton policies smoothed the political and technological transition into the 21st century and fostered unprecedented economic growth.

LeBoutillier — who once called the late House Speaker Tip O'Neill "fat, bloated and out of control, just like the federal budget" — says Clinton's library will require immediate rebuttal in a way that libraries of other scandalized ex-presidents do not.

"Reagan, Nixon, that's the past," he says. "The problem is Clinton's still young, he's the most powerful force in Democratic politics, and he would like nothing more than to erase the past so he can return to the White House with Hillary."

Skip Rutherford, president of the foundation paying for Clinton's library, says he had hoped for a political cease-fire.

"The haters don't have to like or agree with Clinton, but they need to acknowledge that only 43 men have done this — reached the pinnacle," he says. "I think they need to move on with their lives."

Will the semen stained dress be a part of the Clinton Library? How about Vince Foster's suicide note?

[My2Cents]

How about photos of the White House teas with agents of the Chinese government?

[sauropod]

I had the pleasure of meeting the Counter-Clinton Library folks at CPAC this year.

The exhibit will also include a full-scale replica of the Oval Office and the Cabinet Room where visitors can pretend to engage spin control, plan diversions such as bombing aspiring factories, smear Monica and plan Lincoln bedroom fundraisers.

ping!

[Paul Atreides]

The kneepadder who wrote this article has never heard of Bush- or Reagan-haters, has he?

[b4its2late]

Slick Willy brought all of it on himself.

[finnman69]

The exhibit space is 20,000 square feet on two levels. A 110-foot-long Timeline presents a substantive history of the day to day work of the President and his administration utilizing photographs, videos and interactive stations. In alcoves flanking the Timeline, a series of exhibits will highlight a range of domestic and foreign policy failures and exaggerations. Each story will be treated in depth and will include taxing the bejesus out of Americans, pandering to racist groups, illegal fundraising, unprecedented national security ineptitude, impeachment, and pardons for cash.

[DannyTN]

Or the cigar? or the desk? or the FBI Files?

[Lunatic Fringe]

Hey, as long as the Oval Office has enough head room under the desk.....

[HRC]

"a couple of Clinton haters"
No bias in reporting here. Fair and partial AP. Nothing to see here, move along.

[socal_parrot]

a couple of Clinton haters hope to open a museum devoted to mocking his presidency.

If this were to happen near the Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace in Yorba Linda, CA....

Just a few blocks from Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace , a couple of concerned citizens hope to open a museum meant to give a balanced representation of his presidency.

[finnman69]

The structure on top is what I guess to be a 3000 sf condo built tax free for him on top. I know its a guest apartment and comparing it in scale to the trailers nearby judge it to be HUGE.

[ml/nj]

Is it true that Hillary has a wing at the Clinton Liebrery? I heard that that they purchased 532,000 copies of her book for display there.

"Clinton Haters Look to Mock His Library"

Wow. That's actually the headline of the story. Way to wear it on your sleeve, AP!

[Paul Atreides]

Slick Willy brought all of it on himself.

Funny, that's what Bubba told Monica about her dress.

[detsaoT]

Geez, this is an unabashed, fanatical hit piece. The AP should never have run this pile of trash.

• The article uses the derogative label "Clinton haters," as if the people opening the library have no valid facts, but are motivated only by hate. This term flavors the article, hoping to cause the reader to view Clinton opponents as shallow, spiteful people who only have personal scores to settle.

• LeBoutillier is the Republican congressman "who rode Ronald Reagan's coattails to victory." Obviously, according to this piece of dung, he has never worked a day in his life.

• Dick Morris was ousted "due to a sex scandal," yet Clinton's sex scandals are brushed under the rug. The other benefit is that, because he had "a sex scandal," Morris must not be a valuable source.

This is an excellent example of the bigotry prevalent at The AP. I highly encourage all freepers to call the editors and comment on how vile this trash is.

[Lee Heggy]

The only Presidential Library to have a fiction and non fiction section.

[Chad Fairbanks]

The difference is, most of the other ex-presidents had the dignity to shut the hell up and butt out of everyting

[Paul Atreides]

Not to mention an adult bookstore.

[tang-soo]

I can think of some great guest speakers ... Hugh Sprunt, Terry Reed, Miguel Rodriguez, Jim Norman, Charles Hayes, L.D. Brown, General Bentin Partin, Chris Ruddy, Carl Limbacher, James McDougal (oops, he's dead), Patrick Knowlton, Rom Brown (oops, see James McDougal), Congressman Bob Barr, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, Ed Timperlake, Gary Aldrich, Jerry Parks (oops, see Ron Brown). That ought to be a good list for the first week.

"The haters don't have to like or agree with Clinton, but they need to acknowledge that only 43 men have done this — reached the pinnacle,"


Yeah, and only two of the 43 have been impeached, Dummy!

[Paul Atreides]

Bubba never reached a pinnacle. The only thing he ever reached was a climax.

[Paul Atreides]

The one about the running shorts is hilarious.

Is it true that Hillary has a wing at the Clinton Liebrery?

I don't know, but if she does, don't give her another one...it scares me when pigs fly.

[clintonh8r]

Clinton hater? Who they callin' Clinton hater?

[b4its2late]

ROFL!

[Aeronaut]

Is it true that Hillary has a wing at the Clinton Liebrery?

You can bet it will be the left one if she does....

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

Can you please make that cartoon larger? It's great, but I can't read all the frames. Thank you.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

I think I counted the word "haters" 3 times in this unbiased, middle-of-the-road, and non-political, AP story.

[Jimmy Valentine]

Nice! wish I had thought of that.

[Sunshine Sister]

History is history. Telling it like it was is what a museum is supposed to do. It the Clinton supporters don't like it to bad!

[Cobra64]

"The exhibit will also include a full-scale replica of the Oval Office..."

Is Stainman-Slick going to make a semen contribution to the carpet for accuracy sake?

God, that man was/is disgusting!

[Cobra64]

A 110-foot-long Timeline presents a substantive history of the day to day work of the President...

If the timeline were accurate, fellatio would dominate 80% of the bell curve.

[Cobra64]

Does it have a porno section for Slick's pals like Teddy-the Swimmer-Kennedy?

[Only1choice____Freedom]

Clinton hater?

His problems are all your fault. Of course, it couldn't be his.

[Republicus2001]

the only Presidential Library with an adults-only section...

[SGCOS]

... utilizing photographs, videos and interactive stations.

Most other places would call those 'private booths'.

[Tacis]

Well, I think the No Spin Library is fighting an uphill battle. All the conventions in Little Rock will visit the Scum Bag Library because of its advantages. The pornography section will be much larger and tax payer subsidized, there will be free condom machines all over the place, and the local black hookers will flock there, hoping to get lucky like Danny Williams momma did.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Please, no interactive exhibits...

[shaggy eel]

the only Presidential Library with an adults-only section...

,,, and the only place outside DC with a staff cafeteria equipped with authentic Whitehouse cutlery.

[Ed_in_NJ]

I hear it will be called the Larry Flynt Chicken Wing.

[mseltzer]

Don't forget David Schippers.

[TexasCajun]

The author fails to mention that The-First-Black-President had to bulldoze a Black Historical Landmark to make room for this double-wide that will hold all the lies?

I hope that the Raptist-Who-Became-President is really enjoying watching how a real man acts while President!!
