Why are they playing Amazing Grace?

They just do not get the poignant irony. It truly was God's Amazing Grace that got us through 8 years of Hell's Hairballs.

[goldstategop]

You certainly won't consider it a place for a romantic tete a tete.

[gopwinsin04]

Now they want Bill to get a 'little respect' good luck on that!

[texasbluebell]

I was just wondering if there would be an exhibit of the Arkansas quarter at the lie-bury.

Ron Reagan will die a lonely and bitter man. His "friends" in the media will soon drop him, once it becomes apparent that we really don't care about him or his opinions. They only hired him to get a rise out of us.

[goldstategop]

You wonder if he hankered after the wrong woman all his life. Come to think of it, he does have a thing for zaftig chicks.

[cyncooper]

You have got to be kidding. Is that supposed to be HRC?

It looks more like one of his many paramours.

Good grief.

This liebrary is nothing but a big campaign to airbrush his sick and pathetic "legacy".

Nothing but memorabilia. Nothing of substance, nothing real.

[cyncooper]

Ha, I just said close to the same thing!

[xJones]

Are they showing the building? Photos of it have looked like the mother of single-wide trailers, and I'm not kidding.

[Miss Marple]

I wonder if Hillary knows there is that portrait of her with "big hair." LOL!

Visitors enjoy the simulated horse race betting in the library's Virginia Dell Cassidy Blythe Clinton Horse Racing & Betting Parlor.
Actual wagering is permitted with all proceeds going to the Campaign to Elect Hillary in 2008.

There's nothing Amazing Or Graceful about the Clintons unless you can count how they left this country trashier and more devoid of morals than when they came into the White House.

[ArmedNReady]

You mispelled "Lie-brary", should read Lie-Bury.

[cyncooper]

Heads up: Ron Blome about to "take us through the exhibits" on MSNBC.

Get ready for saxophones and campaign buttons.

We start with Ron telling us it's a "spectacular" building that lets in a lot of light.

He does say the corner that deals with impeachment is minimal and they'll probably take some criticism for that.

[gopwinsin04]

Here's the monument to Socks the Cat & Buddy the Dog (who Hillary and Bill ran over with a car)..

[JustaCowgirl]

Yep. I thought W's speech at the unveiling of their portrait was an absolute masterstroke of doublespeak. If you read it, anything he said could be taken two or more ways, depending on how you wanted to hear it.

[Miss Marple]

Photos of it have looked like the mother of single-wide trailers, and I'm not kidding.

Indeed, that is exactly what it looks like. Howlin and I have been laughing about it since they released the architect's mock-up a few years ago.

[cyncooper]

Wow, even Chrissy just said the exhibits reflect more things that show "It's fun to be president" rather than anything of substance.

It must be even more trite than I imagined.

[goldstategop]

If you're planning to look for The Blue Dress, it ain't there. Bubba would have been more honest if he had stocked it with a selection of Flynt's Greatest Hits.

Was the architect of this dump expecting a flood.
