A FIERCE storm blowing in from Texas rained mercilessly on Bill Clinton’s parade yesterday. The crowning moment of the former President’s efforts to shape his legacy was all but washed away as 25,000 people huddled and shivered in the driving rain that accompanied the dedication of his $165 million (£90 million) presidential library.
Mr Clinton looked crestfallen as the Presidents Bush, senior and junior, President Carter, a large train of diplomats and politicians from around the world and a crowd larger than most Arkansas towns were soaked.
When Bono and The Edge from U2 opened their brief headlining set with the line, “When the rain comes, you might as well be dead”, Mr Clinton looked as if he agreed. Neither did it help that his wife appeared unwilling to share her umbrella with him. It took the elder President Bush, the man Mr Clinton defeated in 1992, to lift the spirits with a series of warm-hearted memories about one of the most gifted politicians he said he had come across. “Trust me, I learnt the hard way,” he joked.

...and a model of the "guilty member"--complete with tweezers and a magnifying glass.
:p
It was a beautiful day today, don't you think? ;)
Maybe there's a gene which naturally gravitates toward things which resemble one's point of origin...naw, that would be the back seat of an old Ford.
He looked like a broken man to me. I think his sins have caught up to him.
Hard to believe in this day and age of modern methods of weather predicting---that someone didn't show the guts to postpone the dedication to a day when a serious storm was not raging. They certainly knew what the weather forecasts were.
DUH--the "show" must go on.
Yes, and we suffered through inches and inches of rain yesterday as we stalled it to make sure it arrived in Arkansas at the best possible time. We were very happy to send the Clintonistas our best.
The forcast was for sunny skies. But the rapist brings a dark cloud with him. I think there was a character on the Flintstones or the racing cartoon with Penelope Pitstop that always had a rain cloud above him.
The Clintons should remember what goes around comes around and they should be in for some pretty big come arounds.
"He looked like a broken man to me. I think his sins have caught up to him."
I think the ONLY thing that'll ever break Clinton's spirit is irreparable sexual impotence. And I truly mean that.
Is Thor on holiday? Pics of an onstage zot in the behind would have been nice.
just depends what part of the body was used to obtain the artery-like tissue to replace the clogged artery.
Just another sign that there truly is a God and he has a wonderful sense of humor.
LOL! The storm came from Texas?
Clinton even said himself some said the library looked like
a big old house trailer. I could hardly believe he said
that if I hadn't heard it myself. Looks like he would have
told the architect at the outset unless, of course, he
wanted a house trailer library.
Hey Newbie!! Go home and cry---Pleases do not use our space to cry your little (heart) out!!
Troll Alert!!!!!
Maybe he destroyed his "picture of dorian clinton"
;)
