Clinton Haters Look to Mock His Library

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Just a few blocks from the future site of Bill Clinton 's $160 million presidential library, a couple of Clinton haters hope to open a museum devoted to mocking his presidency.

"As long as he's talking, we'll have to be here trying to keep him somewhat honest and stop him from rewriting history," says John LeBoutillier, a former Republican congressman from New York who rode Ronald Reagan 's coattails to victory in 1980.

LeBoutillier and his partner, Houston businessman Richard Erickson, plan to call it the Counter-Clinton Library. They say the museum here and one planned for Washington will look at such topics as Whitewater, Monica Lewinsky, the last-minute pardons, even damaged White House furniture.

"We already hear he's going to bring a bunch of egghead economists to his library to say how great the economy was when he was president," LeBoutillier says. "And we'll find our own who can say it had nothing to do with him."

The two partners hope to open their place the same day that Clinton's opens in November 2004. They say they will need $5 million. LeBoutillier says thousands of donations have come in and the average one is $72, but he will not say exactly how much has been raised so far.

Dick Morris, the Clinton strategist who resigned in a sex scandal, has pledged stacks of his insider documents, as has Gary Aldrich, the former FBI agent who wrote a best seller about Clinton's scandals.

"We think people will want to come out of the Clinton Library and head immediately down the street to us to get the rest of the story," LeBoutillier says.

In recent appearances, Clinton said that the big picture of his presidency is being obscured and that his library will set the record straight.

The designer of the Clinton museum, Ralph Appelbaum, said the place will deal with Clinton's impeachment, but will focus on how Clinton policies smoothed the political and technological transition into the 21st century and fostered unprecedented economic growth.

LeBoutillier — who once called the late House Speaker Tip O'Neill "fat, bloated and out of control, just like the federal budget" — says Clinton's library will require immediate rebuttal in a way that libraries of other scandalized ex-presidents do not.

"Reagan, Nixon, that's the past," he says. "The problem is Clinton's still young, he's the most powerful force in Democratic politics, and he would like nothing more than to erase the past so he can return to the White House with Hillary."

Skip Rutherford, president of the foundation paying for Clinton's library, says he had hoped for a political cease-fire.

"The haters don't have to like or agree with Clinton, but they need to acknowledge that only 43 men have done this — reached the pinnacle," he says. "I think they need to move on with their lives."

The difference is, most of the other ex-presidents had the dignity to shut the hell up and butt out of everyting

[Paul Atreides]

Not to mention an adult bookstore.

[tang-soo]

I can think of some great guest speakers ... Hugh Sprunt, Terry Reed, Miguel Rodriguez, Jim Norman, Charles Hayes, L.D. Brown, General Bentin Partin, Chris Ruddy, Carl Limbacher, James McDougal (oops, he's dead), Patrick Knowlton, Rom Brown (oops, see James McDougal), Congressman Bob Barr, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, Ed Timperlake, Gary Aldrich, Jerry Parks (oops, see Ron Brown). That ought to be a good list for the first week.

Yeah, and only two of the 43 have been impeached, Dummy!

[Paul Atreides]

Bubba never reached a pinnacle. The only thing he ever reached was a climax.

The one about the running shorts is hilarious.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

Can you please make that cartoon larger? It's great, but I can't read all the frames. Thank you.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

I think I counted the word "haters" 3 times in this unbiased, middle-of-the-road, and non-political, AP story.

[Jimmy Valentine]

Nice! wish I had thought of that.

[Sunshine Sister]

History is history. Telling it like it was is what a museum is supposed to do. It the Clinton supporters don't like it to bad!

[Cobra64]

"The exhibit will also include a full-scale replica of the Oval Office..."

Is Stainman-Slick going to make a semen contribution to the carpet for accuracy sake?

God, that man was/is disgusting!

[Cobra64]

A 110-foot-long Timeline presents a substantive history of the day to day work of the President...

If the timeline were accurate, fellatio would dominate 80% of the bell curve.
