Contrary to an Associated Press report on Friday, plans to build a Clinton scandal museum in Little Rock, Arkansas have not been abandoned, according to one of the project's organizers.
"The Counter Clinton Library is alive and well and about to launch a major new direct mail campaign this September to 400,000 prospective donors," former Congressman John Leboutillier tells NewsMax.
The erroneous report was based on an interview with one of the group's partners, who announced he was "giving up" on the project. But Leboutillier says other project organizers out-voted him and still plan to proceed full speed ahead.
Initial plans for the museum included exhibits dedicated to several of Mr. and Mrs. Clinton's more notorious White House scandals, including Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate and the Monica Lewinsky imbroglio.
Two of my wife's co-workers took a trip down to Little Rock to see the Clinton Library. It's just stunning to me that someone would be that interested in politics and still not see what a horrible, scandalous, shameful presidency X-42 had.
I believe almost all of his supporters are just blissfully ignorant of what he did.

"First read all Howard Dean Press Releases for "news."
Then "fact check" with George Soros and/or Michael Moore"
The Clinton Library is a high class establishment. The peepshow there will have the porters clean the booths after each customer instead of merely waiting until closing time..
You can pick up a copy of Easy Riders and other great reads there, too.
Maybe Al Bundy's favorite, "Big 'Uns"!
Have they painted it Monica Blue, yet? When will the smoke shop be "Open for Business"? I hear Bill's got a favorite music album coming out. Is "Liar, Liar" on it?
We just have to wait. Another page in the Clinton Chronicles. Tune in later.
Great. More attention on WJC... can't we just let him fade away?
WRITTEN IN STONE: AN ARCHITECT DEFINES THE CLINTONS virtualclintonlibrary.blogspot.com
by Mia T, 12-30-02
Whereas a huckster removes meaning from institutions--the wife picked up where the husband left off--an architect encodes meaning in buildings. James S. Polshek, the architect with the dubious distinction of having been commissioned to build the William J. Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, believes that a successful architectural solution must necessarily be rooted in relevance. Just as Polshek's buildings have physical layers, so too do they have layers of meaning. His Rose Center for Earth and Space, for example, is informed formally and programmatically by the historic architecture of a designated landmark even as it redefines itself, (often too self-consciously, in my view), in Star-Trekian terms. Reduced to its essence, the building is the nascent universe before the Big Bang, the promise of the undifferentiated cell in its mother's womb. The "bridge to the 21st century" was, perhaps, clinton's most delusional conceit, so it is not surprising that it would become clinton's self-referential metaphor of choice. His library was to be that bridge, if he had anything to say about it... The architect is often the master of the inside joke, witness Robert Venturi's postmodern chairs. Venturi exploited--unabashedly and with abandon--the vocabulary of Las Vegas, its stage-set-as-reality and its roadside culture--bright, clashing, ugly and fake. The architect's inside joke is his hedge against the sycophancy that comes with patronage. The flip side of the encoded meaning of the architect is the terrorist's decoding of it. To bin Laden, the World Trade Center was Jewish capitalism encoded in urban space. If Polshek's vision of clinton's library is a bridge, the inside joke is that, at best, it is a bridge to nowhere. More likely, it is a bridge to the 7th century...or a doublewide to house clinton double-speak. Take your choice.
