BY JOSH GERSTEIN - Staff Reporter of the Sun November 22, 2004 LITTLE ROCK, ARK. - President Clinton's new $165 million library here was funded in part by gifts of $1 million or more each from the Saudi royal family and three Saudi businessmen. The governments of Dubai, Kuwait, and Qatar and the deputy prime minister of Lebanon all also appear to have donated $1 million or more for the archive and museum that opened last week. Democrats spent much of the presidential campaign this year accusing President Bush of improperly close ties to Saudi Arabia. The case was made in Michael Moore's film "Fahrenheit 9/11," in a bestselling book by Craig Unger titled "House of Bush, House of Saud," and by the

Hmmmmm, now why am I not surprised by this?

Thanks for the ping! I've got a couple of acquaintances I think I'll send this tidbit to.

Send it to your democrat friends who pounded you for Bush and Cheney taking 'bribe' money from the Saudis.

It's a 'Crow Pie' kind of year - ALL YEAR LONG (2005)

Yup, good idea for the F-9/11 Moorish crowd

Add "pardone moi" Marc Rich to that list



- Slick Willie looks older than President George HW Bush in that photo yet he is the same age as President George W Bush

Coke and booze will do that - With all the pro jocks and rappers dropping like flies at early ages did Bill Clinton think he was immune?


"Death Pool" on Slick Willie anyone?

It won't be long now.

Jim McDougall's revenge......

Not surprising in the least. After all, these were the
folks that cuddled up to and hugged ole Arafat and Suha.

November 18, 2004, was the Grand Opening of the clintoon library and massage parlor.

THE BLACK LANDMARK
THE CLINTON LIEBRARY RAZED

They really did tear that down.

Excerpt:

Who is to blame when a historic landmark is lost? Part of the blame belongs to a throw-away society that places little premium on historical structures. Some of the blame must accrue to preservationists and historians who failed to recognize the significance of this structure hidden within May Supply Company. Most of the blame, however, must go to the Clinton Library Foundation and the City of Little Rock, neither of whom showed any evidence of a good faith effort to evaluate various options for keeping the station or moving a smaller representative section to a nearby site. One must also wonder why Clinton library site engineers failed to call attention to this historical building during the early stages of the library design. Site engineers had conducted exhaustive surveys of the area, surveys which had given them access to this building while it was cocooned within other structures and effectively hidden from the public. Were the survey engineers incapable of recognizing an unquestionably historic structure, or was their silence a deliberate calculated effort to conceal details of a landmark which they considered expendible?
