Arkansas lawmaker wants to strip Clintons' name from airport
Reuters ^ | February 24, 2017 | Steve Barnes

The largest and busiest airport in Arkansas would no longer be named after the only president and first lady from the state if a bill introduced in the legislature on Thursday succeeds.

The legislation would prohibit public buildings or civil works from being named for anyone living or who served in public office in the 10 years prior to the structure’s completion.

"You have a president who was impeached for having an affair with an intern in the Oval Office and then disbarred," said state Sen. Jason Rapert, the bill’s author and one of the Arkansas legislature’s most outspoken conservatives.

The bill seems overly broad ... you would think they could find a landfill, sewage rendering plant or dog pound somewhere that would be perfect for properly honor the perverts.

Sen. Jason is 0 for 2 already.

BJ Clinton was neither "impeached for having an affair with an intern" nor (as many here a few weeks ago decided) disbarred.

Arkansas lawmaker wants to strip Clintons' name from airport Compromise. Put their names on the Mena, Arkansas airport where they smuggled drugs, arms and other contraband.

He was impeached for perjury and he was barred from arguing cases in front of the Supreme Court, as I recall.

Let the name of Clinton be stricken from every book and tablet, stricken from all pylons and obelisks, stricken from every monument of The USA. Let the name of Clinton be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of men for all time.

So let it be written. So let it be done.

Correct; I believe he was also disbarred in the state of Arkansas.

Leave his face and name all over the place with signs telling that he was a pervert, an impeached liar and that he was the face of the Democratic party.

To make it absolutely perfect...rename the airport to the Robert E. Lee Aviation Center.

I like the idea, but wrong guy. They should name it the Patrick R. Cleburne Memorial Airport, after the great Confederate general and Arkansas resident, killed in action at the Battle of Franklin, 1864.

There is a town north of Conway named CLINTON in Van Buren County. It was NOT named for the pervert family. It was named after a New York governor who built the Erie Canal.

Jason, I am with you in spirit, as I loathe Bill Clinton, but you need to be accurate. Pretty sure the following is not exactly true:

“You have a president who was impeached for having an affair with an intern in the Oval Office....”

**
I’m not a lawyer, and I really know nothing about the law, but I do know that the pig was impeached on 2 charges: perjury and obstruction of justice.

By not being accurate in such a public statement, this lawmaker loses credibility.

**************

Here is what the legal proceeding said.

snip

“As a consequence of his conduct in the Jones v. Clinton civil suit and before the federal grand jury, President Clinton incurred significant administrative sanctions. The Independent Counsel considered seven non-criminal alternative sanctions that were imposed in making his decision to decline prosecution:
(1) President Clinton’s admission of providing false testimony that was knowingly misleading, evasive, and prejudicial to the administration of justice before the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas;
(2) his acknowledgement that his conduct violated the Rules of Professional Conduct of the Arkansas Supreme Court;
(3) the five-year suspension of his license to practice law and $25,000 fine imposed on him by the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, Arkansas;
(4) the civil contempt penalty of more than $90,000 imposed on President Clinton by the federal court for violating its orders;
(5) the payment of more than $850,000 in settlement to Paula Jones;
(6) the express finding by the federal court that President Clinton had engaged in contemptuous conduct; and
(7) the substantial public condemnation of President Clinton arising from his impeachment.”

Name it after Monica Lewinsky or one of his rape victims. That would be awesome.

A lot of people want it changed back to Adams Field, named after war hero.

Isn’t this kinda like un-naming all the buildings named for Confederate heroes and tearing down statues and memorials to them just because you don’t like the history they represent?

Having said this; yes, there should be a special place of (dis)honor for them somewhere. Like a garbage dump.

Cool, now is certainly the time to do it, before Big Media decides we need to keep it for the Clinton bush (shrub).
