The terminal.

At Little Rock National Airport, it's two for the price of one. No, we're not talking about airfares, but Clintons.
The Arkansas capital's Municipal Airport Commission voted unanimously Tuesday to rename the airport in honor of the former president and the current secretary of State, a rare twin billing for the state's former first couple.
The change won't be official until the Federal Aviation Administration signs off. Adams Field, the designation for the airport's aeronautical operations, will remain the same.
"Bill and Hillary Clinton not only devoted years of service to Arkansas, but have served the nation as a two-term President, and as First Lady, U.S. Senator, and Secretary of State -- that’s a legacy of which all Arkansans can be proud," Jim Dailey, chairman of the airport commission, said in a statement. "The Clintons continue to have a major impact on our state and our local economy, and we believe renaming our airport in their honor is a fitting way to recognize their service and their position in Arkansas and our nation's history."
The commission noted in its decision the draw that Bill Clinton's presidential library in Little Rock has become, as well as the economic development it spurred in the city's downtown. The Clinton Library is the state's top attraction for out-of-state visitors.
The former president released a statement saying that he and his wife "are humbled" by the decision.
"We are grateful for this honor and for all that the people of Arkansas have done for us. And we look forward to many happy landings at the airport in the years ahead,"

Little Rock International Blue Dress and Cankles Airport. Nice ring to it.
Or The Dick and Dyke Flights.

Despite the 317 international, federal, and state officials, and the tens of thousands of citizens across the nation we were able to convince to support this, we are humbled that public officials would allow an honorable airport to be tarnished in this manner. After all, Hilary and I deserve it!
Pretty disgusting.
The impeached one and his enabler now honored for being such scum of the world.
I am sure there will be plenty of jokes from people having to use that airport.
Slick Willy’s is already a restaurant. I would not think that the airport could use the name.
Oh...Humbled...I can think of a lot of things to say...but...I might get banned.
The terminal.
“Now landing at Rapist and Abettor National. Please fasten your seatbelts and put your seats and tray tables in the upright position.”
Great. As if Cankles doesn't have a big enough head (and bum) already! Hmm. BJ and HR (Human Resources) air-port. Come to think about it, they do rather go together now...
I guess this is rather fitting, since it’s probably the only entity in 1990s Arkansas, that had more skid-marks than the Clinton’s reputation and underwear.
That’s how I’ll always remember them...
... very famous in architectural circles as the only "double wide" library in the world.
“Pretty disgusting.”
But just think, you can purchase “pre-moistened cigars” in the “smoke shop” there. Arkansas, the Nation’s toilet! Just look at the crooks that have come from there! Orval Faubus, Wm. Fulbright, Webb Hubbell, and now the Clintoon’s.
I hope none of the aircraft using this airport go down there.
Impeached International I presume.
But OK, I guess.
...please remember to pucker up and keep your knees locked together during your stay in Arkansas.
The Marriage-Of-Convenience National Airport.
Too many Dailey—Daly’s out there....
