clinton Lie-brary Double-talk, The Movie, is my take on the rapist's self-referential palaver and double-wide monuments. The flash movie is less than one minute long. |

SOME HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE LOWLIFE
1- Listen to clinton tell us how OPEN he and his corrupt wife are. The clintons, unlike Bush, don't hide things, he says. He will release all documents of his presidency, he says. I wonder...does that include, say, the Ford Building evidence that convinced the House of Representatives he is a rapist and, therefore, unfit to be President of the United States? 2- Listen to his pitiful wishful thinking...Just because a few presidents' ratings improved with the passage of time, he actually believes time will cure his utter failure of a presidency. 3- Listen to the rapist on C-SPAN LOBBY FOR A THIRD TERM. It is axiomatic that you automatically disqualify a delusional, dysfunctional presidential candidate. That is, unless you are the New York Times. In 1996, you may recall, the Times endorsed for reelection a "documentably dysfunctional" president with "delusions" -- its own words. The New York Times must bear sizeable blame for the 9-11 horror and its aftermath. 4- clinton misses the design's REAL metaphor, as well as the architect's sense of irony. The lie-brary is hardly the "bridge to the 21st century." A bridge, by definition spans and provides passage over a gap or barrier. The clinton lie-brary joins nothing. If it is a bridge, it is a bridge to nowhere, an especially fitting monument to this deconstructionist utter failure . Alternatively, the building's form is straight out of the trailer park. The rube totally missed Polshek's inside jokes.

Third Way = Third Term
Why would ANYONE use Hitler's infamous "Third" as in Third Reich to define their hopes for the future?
WRITTEN IN STONE: AN ARCHITECT DEFINES THE CLINTONS by Mia T, 12-30-02 If mutability of meaning was necessary for the survival of the clintons--their survival hinged ultimately on the deconstruction of words and laws--it is more than a little ironic, and a manifestation of the special sway and shortsightedness of the pathologic ego, that clinton's monument to himself will necessarily define the clintons with the permanance of great inviolate places of iconic architecture. 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. copyright Mia T 2002

A subset of the CLINTON-WAS-AN-UTTER-FAILURE Containment Team Scheme , the clinton "infrastructure" complex-question fallacy scheme is intended to confer legitimacy on an otherwise loony concept: Another clinton--uh--presidency.  The clinton "infrastructure" is operating on the theory that the implicit question ("Why in the world would the zipper-hoisted wife of an impeached utter failure ex-ERSATZprez be qualified to be president anyway?") will be rendered, if not moot, certainly disremembered. Alas. The clinton "infrastructure" complex-question fallacy scheme does not appear to be working. According to last month's Marist Institute poll -- and this month's election -- nary a soul wants hillary (rodham) clinton back in the West Wing. 
"What the hell is this moribund loser doing in the political arena, anyway?" While 70% of the electorate get it, only one pundit, Bill Bennett, has been sharp enough to see through this clinton "infrastructure" complex-question fallacy scheme. When Sean Hannity (Hannity and Colmes, FoxNews) asked Bennett whether "she would run," Bennett first asked Hannity to clarify who the "she" was, and, when told, delivered the coup de grâce, "Run for what?"

(Michael Rosen was understandably eager to distance his client, a convicted loan shark, from the clintons. Another Thomas Gambino reportedly paid $50,000 to roger clinton in an unsuccessful effort to get a pardon for his father, Rosario Gambino.),
