How do you make a building look like a narcissistic, self-indulgent sociopath?

Or a decadent buffoon for that matter???

Thanks for the travelogue.

I'll definitely put the William J. Clinton Library & Massage Parlor on my "Must Miss List".

I still say that this monstrosity, besides looking like a trailer, was chosen by Clinton because it looks like architecture from his glory days of the 1970's. Don't you think it looks like something Mike Brady of The Brady Bunch would have designed?

It's *billy's* private apartment. not the clintoon's. We've known about those plans for years now.
If hillary doesn't win the Presidency in 2008, she won't need him any more. And we'll be paying for his apartments in Harlem and Little Rock, plus his foreign travels.
If we don't have to see him on the news every day it will be a small price to pay.

The building is an ugly monument to an ugly man. It doesn't look anything like a library, and it isn't the least bit presidential.



WELL SAID!

Needs golden arches and a drive-up window.

Needs lots of pink neon lighting, a penicillin dispenser and a walled-off parking lot (so your friends and neighbors can't see your car at such a disreputable place).

[TASMANIANRED]

It's an over sized trailer.
