Bill Clinton Narrates Tour at Ark. Library Jun 03 9:46 AM US/Eastern

By JILL ZEMAN Associated Press Writer

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.

Late at night on a recent trip here, Bill Clinton wandered the halls of his presidential library, recording his thoughts on some of the milestones from his time in the White House.

"There were lots of times when Republicans thought I was right about an issue, but they were determined not to let anything happen," Clinton says in a new audio tour of the library.

"I know that when I got elected president, a lot of those folks just went into denial," he says.

The library, along the Arkansas River in downtown Little Rock, will begin offering the audio tour Saturday. The tour was Clinton's idea and is a first for presidential libraries, said Jordan Johnson, spokesman for the William J. Clinton Foundation.

Visitors can pay an extra $3 for a device shaped like an oversized cordless phone. Each exhibit corresponds with a number, and when the number is pressed, Clinton recounts his thoughts and memories on the topic.

For the exhibit on the impeachment hearings, he describes the era as an ideological battle that went overboard.

"So when I won (the presidency), it was a profound sort of psychological shock to a lot of them," he says with a chuckle. "Then they went into overdrive fighting me. They weren't accomplishing anything, just banging away. Then they did what people who care too much about power do. They overdid it."

Clinton's commentary also addresses his childhood as well as issues such as crime, foreign affairs and the economy. He speaks of hosting state dinners for foreign leaders and his wife's role as first lady.

"I know that when I got elected president, a lot of those folks just went into denial," he says.

As opposed to, "I did not have sex with that woman."

No Bubba, what they did after your "election" (only a plurality), was to go get control of Congress.

Yeah, I just couldn't believe the American People would elect such an obvious low-life phony, liar, philanderer and draft-dodger.

It's I, I, I,Me, Me, Me - until he gets to impeachment, then it's all what everyone else did to him, the "innocent victim".

Still on crack!

Were it not for the republicans forcing their welfare reform and balanced budget amendment on his sorry a$$, he would never have been re-elected.

Is he delusional, confused or trying to rewrite history so that when the truth of the 2000 and 2004 elections where the dimRats DID go into shock and are still in denial, an - well , everything he says, but reverse the party - Does he think this will somehow rewrite his abysmal history? Does he think that then the historians will put down his lack of accomplishments as the fault of the mean pubbies ...

The man is certifiable
