LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Free admission is bringing thousands of visitors to the new Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock.
Skip Rutherford, the president of the foundation that built the library, said more than 9,000 people showed up Friday -- far exceeding the 3,000 that had been expected.
Rutherford said lines were steady despite an Arkansas Razorbacks football game.
He said the crowd included many locals, as well as people from all over the world.
The presidential library is waiving its normal $7 entry fee over the holiday weekend.
The $165 million glass-and-steel building, home to artifacts and documents gathered during Clinton's eight years in the White House, was dedicated Nov. 18.
Visitors to the Clinton library are greeted at an oval reception area and sent on their way after a visit to a replica of the Oval Office.
Library director David Alsobrook said two hours ought to let tourists cover everything.
Alsobrook said visitors with only an hour to spare should make it a point to see the gifts from foreign leaders.

I bet the gift shop is something. Cigars, stain remover and knee pads are some of the more popular items.

Yeah, but unlike Clinton, you're not of that trailer trash mentality.

It was an amazing two years out of my life. My best friend's girlfriend banging on my window at 3AM to talk to me about him, with his little sisters in tow (eight and eleven). The druggies across the street, the Viet refugees next door (Tom, the middle son and I were good friends).
Actually Bill came from a higher economic background. His stepdad was loaded.

Thanks for the props. :) I was never embarrassed about coming from the parks, but it was uncomfortable with friends visiting my mother with me.

in 5 years, it will be one of the least visited of the modern libraries. his blue state supportes are on the coasts, those people aren't going to vacation in little rock to go to the library.I suspect that the free admission was to prevent any news stories in the papers about how few people are going.

The $165 million double-wide on stilts,
The $165 million is for the library foundation/slush fund. The building didn't cost that much.

The presidential library is waiving its normal $7 entry fee over the holiday weekend. Didn't waving something get Bubba into trouble before?

The druggies across the street, the Viet refugees next door (Tom, the middle son and I were good friends).You should write about those times. Actually, you should read James Rogan's autobiography. Very poor, sad upbringing -- hideous neighborhoods, a housing project -- but he writes about it with an appropriate sense of humor.
Actually Bill came from a higher economic background. His stepdad was loaded.
And yet he never rose above being white trash.

Folks, no matter what the Democrats do, the Bill Clinton Library is going to be a flop and failure. They can give out all the freee tickets they want, and still people will not come. I say let's wait a year, and then see what the attendance numbers are and where they come from. This spin palace is going nowhere fast. Clinton, his library and his legacy are going downhill into the toilet bowl, no matter what the Clintonistas proclaim!!!

Who'd want to waste $7.00 seeing ole Bill's LIEbrary? Probably folks like Teddy who want to measure the volume on the blue dress. Bunch of perverts....

Slang for support. Picked it up from a shrink buddy of mine from the long-ago clubbin' days.
I wrote a lot about the trailer days. Nearly had a story published ten years ago regarding them.

Freak shows and car wrecks. Sometimes they're just irresistable--in spite of your better senses.
