Like Graceland, the Clinton library is a shrine to a mythical figure, a figure whose esteem is based more on having been a pop-culture icon than an occupant of the White House.
Of course, there are a few protesters with handmade signs saying, "Clinton Raped Juanita," referring to former campaign supporter Juanita Broaddrick. And political humor. "We're here to celebrate the last successful American president," Mr. Franken told a sold-out $150-a-head audience Monday night. "Twenty-two million jobs created by Clinton. That's about 23 million more than the present administration. If Bush had run this country from its very inception to the present day, not one American would have ever worked." Pause. "We'd be hunters and gatherers. We'd be fighting over roots."
Yup, Mr. Err America strikes again.
"We'd be hunters and gatherers. We'd be fighting over roots."
Nope. The Red Staters would still be feeding the Blue Staters. And, um, hunters usually had weapons of some sort...isn't that a no-no?
I LOVED the comment I read here a few weeks back that the red states are the "producers," the blue states the "consumers."
