Clinton Library Architects Have A Sense Of Humor
The County Press (Suburban Phila.) (2dthoughts) ^ | 11-24-04 | William W. Lawrence

The guys at Polshek Partnership Architects of New York City are either Republicans or else Democrats with a great sense of humor. Why else would they design the William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Center to look like a double-wide on stilts?

And no, no, no! The administrator of the library will not be the man who appeared on the Jay Leno Show and said he once ran a pornographic book store in New York City. They were just kidding. I think.

Yasser Arafat is really, really dead now. Darn, just when he and Jimmy Carter were on the verge of bringing peace to the Middle East.

I wonder if you can really read dirty books there.

The rest of the column is just as good. It was excerpted to comply with 300 word limit.

Why can't journalists understand the concept of a doublewide trailer? Dont they understand it's two trailers bolted together, hence doublewide? The WJC library is definately only a singlewide. He's not classy enough to have a doublewide.

First pic I saw of it, I thought,

'WTH!? That can't be it! It looks like the construction trailer!'

Alas....It is the finished product. Freakin' unreal for a presidential library. But fittin' for clinton.

Waste of money.

If they have heavy rains, it appears that thing is goin' downhill.

LM*O!

The electrical hookup sticking out there is beyond tacky!

Doesn't appear to be hidden at all.

Maybe....just maybe they were trying to acheive the ultimate "trailer park setting."

So I went to the site and saw nothing about the Clinton Library. So I used the search feature on their site. I typed in "Clinton Library".

This came up;
"Guest View - Sexual Degeneracy And Political Reality "

Just heresay, but this cantelevered single wide was set upon stacked concrete blocks with no rebar or mortar. You can see the guy wires that keep it "steady", and how the tallest columns are "fawlty towers", but only a Southern Baptist could live there, as dancing is fatal.
