The Tower of Tack (The Clinton Library)
CFP ^ | November 24, 2004 | Judi McLeod

Radio giant Rush Limbaugh calls it "The Clinton Library and Massage Parlor".

But the $165 million dollar facility Americans will be able to tour without admittance fees this Thanksgiving weekend, is according to prolific Internet bloggers a "Tower of Tacky".

The mainline media has been lofty in its descriptions of a "futuristic glass-paneled rectangle cantilevered over the banks of the Arkansas River, evoking Mr. Clinton’s metaphoric `Bridge to the 21st Century’."

Try as they might, media elites can’t drown out the voices of the bloggers who have brought the vaunted library into the realm of trailer trash.

"It sure looks like a trailer home to me," chirped one blogger.

"All that’s missing are the pink flamingos," posted another. . . . .

It really looks like a trailer to me. It doesn't look like a bridge at all.

And it's pretty ironic considering the way the Dems referred to Paula Jones as trailer trash.

LOL you know something? I wouldn't mind living in that myself. However for a presidential library, sheesh. They didn't ask an image consultant's opinion?

I think it's beautiful!

(Now let's quit making fun of it before Slick Willy convinces his sycophants to build him another one in a more prominant location.)

Now I will tell you the truth about the "Clinton library" that only I and Slick Willy know. He secretly designed it to be a bordello that would attract trailer trash. The only thing he refused to tell me was where he hid all the secret bedrooms/cuban cigar smoking rooms.

Maybe its just me, but I think the Clinton Library looks like a tribute to his favorite body part, Little Willy. I love the cartoons that show a zipper for an entrance to the library.

The one question nobody has been able to answer as far as I know is where the heck did the $165 million donated for it actually go?

I suspect it's drawing interest somewhere awaiting the start of the Hillary 2008 presidential campaign.

If anything, half of a bridge where all Dems enter jubilantly on one end and fall to their doom at the other,

Pretty well covers the 8 years of Clinton.

LOL

It's a fitting memorial to the most corrupt administration in history.

Good point. No way that thing cost 165M. And I understand that the land was more or less confiscated from local owners through condemnation techniques; allowing the city to donate the property.

This IS Arkansas, after all.

Clinton: "Come to Arkansas, you might learn a thing or two...." (actual quote)

It not only looks like a double wide, it doesn't look much bigger than a double wide.

Incredible.

I wouldn't think you could possibly spend more than a couple of million at most on a metal box like that. Do you suppose clinton skimmed off the other $163 million and stuck it in his pockets?
