Alternative Clinton Library Keeps the Truth Alive

WASHINGTON – Bill Clinton, America’s only elected president ever impeached, will not get away with rewriting the history of his legacy. In the fall of 2003, a Counter Clinton Library is scheduled to open in Little Rock, Ark., to set the record straight. Furthermore, it will be located just a short walk from the official Clinton Library that will spin the legacy, as presented by Bill and Hillary Clinton. The Counter Clinton Library is set to open about six months ahead of the sanitized Clinton version.

John LeBoutillier, former congressman and current NewsMax pundit, is a co-founder of the project, in partnership with independent Houston businessman Dick Erickson, who will be co-founder and executive director.

LeBoutillier sees the authorized Clinton Library, which he calls “the Clinton Lie-brary,” as “a campaign vehicle to elect Hillary as the next president and to have Bill Clinton back living in the White House.”

You, the American taxpayer, are expected to pay the bill for Clinton’s Lie-brary/Hillary propaganda sounding board, along with donations from “rich foreigners, including Red Chinese and Saudis,” says LeBoutillier. The Counter Clinton Library will not depend on taxpayer appropriations, but instead will rely on private donations<.

Whereas the official Clinton Presidential Center and "LIE-brary" will be full of “distortions, slanders, spins and outright lies about their atrocious White House legacy,” the Counter Clinton Library (CCL) will allow visitors leaving the nearby official spin machine to review all the scandals the Clinton acolytes will ignore. As LeBoutillier puts it, they will have a chance to “deprogram” themselves.

There will be 16 rooms, each one named after a specific scandal or unsavory instance for which the Clinton presidency will be remembered by the un-brainwashed. For example, there will be a Travelgate Room, Number 5.

“Remember how the Clintons trashed the White House?” he recalled in an interview with NewsMax.com. “Bush came in, and he didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. He wanted to move on.

“So they sort of did a whitewash of an investigation and left it alone. The permanent White House staff – the ushers, the people who take care of the place – they, however, wrote a 78-page for the Government Accounting Office.”

That report will serve as the basis for the Exit Room, where “we’re going to re-create parts of the White House exactly as the Clintons left them,” trashed, computers being ripped apart, damaged and defiled.

“We will re-create this to show, in the most vivid manner as possible, just how much damage the Clintons did to ‘the people’s house,” according to CCL’s “Word From Founders” paper.

Beyond the sleaze and criminal behavior, the greatest damage done to these United States of America by the Clintons was perhaps the downgrading or trivializing America’s security.

The National Insecurity Hall will detail, “often in the Clintons’ own words and actions as captured on video,” their “systematic destruction of our military and intelligence capability, their hatred for the military uniform and flag of the United States, their cozying up to Red China, their tolerance of ‘leaking’ Top Secret information to our enemies — and their total devotion to undermining America’s superpower status,” the founders promise.

Some might have been impressed by Clinton’s recent speech, for which he received his customary $100,000, where he said if Iraq crossed the Jordan River, “I would join the Israeli army, grab a rifle and get in the ditch and die.” The Counter Clinton Library will remind visitors of his life-long antipathy toward military service, including his statement that he “loathed the military and all it stands for.”

The Grifter Gallery will note “each and every instance of the Clintons’ grubbing for money, ‘losing’ incriminating documents then suddenly ‘finding’ them, perverting the confidentiality of FBI files, selling presidential pardons for cash, using White House coffees and sleepovers to raise soft campaign money and ‘selling’ access to Saturday morning presidential radio addresses for cash contributions to their campaigns.

"Also the thefts and outright stealing by the Clintons of White House furnishings and artwork and the deplorable looting by the Clinton entourage of the USS Roosevelt.”

There will be a Department of Domestic Affairs to catalog, “as has never been done before,” Bill Clinton’s “despicable treatment of the women he has pursued and slandered and threatened.” This will include “never-before-heard videotaped testimonies of what he did to them — and how he treated them.”

This will not be a rehash of old stuff. Authors and researchers “have uncovered more violent attacks and rapes in Clinton’s past and we will make those accounts available,” the CCL contemplates.

Ever wonder exactly how the Clinton “White House spin” was hatched? CCL librarians announce that “long-time Clinton insider Dick Morris has agreed to donate all his secret White House Agendas to the Counter Clinton Library.”

Again, new stuff here. “No one — other than the Clintons themselves and Morris — has ever seen these detailed plans of Morris’ meetings with Bill Clinton as they wrote speeches together and plotted political strategy.”

The Hall of Shame will cover the unauthorized life story of Hillary Clinton, including such fiascoes as “her Yale Law School defense of Black Panther murderers,” as well as her “amazing cattle futures investment successes,” her plan “to nationalize health care,” and the then first lady’s role “in releasing convicted FALN bombers just in time to curry favor with the Puerto Rican vote in New York.”

Mrs. Clinton’s $8 million dollar memoir is due out before too long. The CCL will counter that volume “with truth and facts.”

The Counter Clinton Library will feature “voluminous research material — from Whitewater records to the Special Counsel’s Report to the House Impeachment record — which scholars can pore over for years and get the real truth about the Clintons. Certainly these unflattering records will not be across the street at Bill and Hillary’s library.”

Also to be punctured are Clinton’s “total lies and exaggerations” such as his claimed credit for the 1990’s economic recovery, the explosive growth of the Internet, and changes in education. The Anti-Propaganda Pavilion “will bring in leading economists, business leaders and educators to show how Bill Clinton actually did more harm than good” in these and other policy areas.

The CCL will include a Broadcast Center where Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly and other radio and TV talk show hosts will be invited to broadcast their shows.

Other presidents and their supporters have erected libraries to store their memorabilia and offer a repository of papers for scholarly study. Why then should there be a “counter” library for this particular president?

A Counter Clinton Library is necessary, its co-founders say, because Clinton wants to alter his reputation “from one of impeachment and disgrace — to one of respectability and statesmanship.” No “counter” presidential library has ever existed before “because no presidency has done so much to tear down this country.”

“Our goal,” says the Clinton Counter Library’s statement, is “to not let one Clinton lie go unanswered, to not let one Clinton slander go unchallenged.”

Letter of Thank You to ex President Bill Clinton

Dear Mr. Ex-President:

I recently saw a bumper sticker that said, "Thank me, I voted for Clinton-Gore." So, I sat down and reflected on that, and I am sending my "Thank you" for what you have done, . . . specifically:

1. Thank you for introducing us to Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky (WH intern), Juanita Broaddrick (campaign worker), Dolly Kyle Browning (high school classmate), Beth Gladden Coulson (Ark. Court of Appeals judge), Sherrie Densuk (WH intern/nutcase), Robyn Dickey ("White House Director of Special Projects and Special Needs" I Kid You Not), Elizabeth Ward Gracen (Miss America - fled country), Connie Hamzy (yes, THAT "sweet, sweet Connie" of Grand Funk fame), Marilyn Jo Jenkins (Ark. friend), Shelia Lawrence (Arlingtongate widow), Sally Perdue (Miss Arkansas), Debra Schiff (campaign plane stewardess hired at White House), Shelia Swatzyna (campaign plane stewardess), Kathleen Willey (White House volunteer), Cristy Zercher (campaign plane stewardess), ect.... Did I leave anyone out?

2. Thank you for teaching my 8 year old about oral sex. I had really planned to wait until they were older to discuss it with them, but now they know more about it than I did as a senior in college.

3. Thank you for showing us that sexual harassment in the work place (especially the White House) and on the job is OK, and all you have to know is what the meaning of "is" is. It really is great to know that certain sexual acts are not sex, and one person may have sex while the other one involved does NOT have sex.

4. Thank you for reintroducing the concept of impeachment to a new generation and demonstrating that the ridiculous plot of the movie "Wag the Dog" could be plausible after all.

5. Thanks for making Jimmy Carter look competent, Gerald Ford look graceful, Richard Nixon look honest, Lyndon Johnson look truthful, and John Kennedy look moral.

6. Thank you for the 73 House and Senate witnesses who have pled the 5th Amendment and 17 witnesses who have fled the country to avoid testifying about Democratic campaign fund raising.

7. Thank you, for the 19 charges, 8 convictions, and 4 imprisonment's from the Whitewater "mess" and the 55 criminal charges and 32 criminal convictions (so far) in the other "Clinton" scandals.

8. Thanks also for reducing our military by half, "gutting" much of our foreign policy, and flying all over the world on "vacations" carefully disguised as necessary trips.

9. Thank you, also, for "finding" millions of dollars-I really didn't need it in the first place, and I can't think of a more well deserving group of recipients for my hard-earned dollars than jet fuel for all of your globe-trotting. I understand you; the family and your cronies have logged in more time aboard Air Force One than any other administration.

10. Now that you've left the White House, thanks for the 140 pardons of convicted felons and indicted felons-in-exile. We will love to have them rejoin society.

11. Thanks also for removing the White House silverware, I'm sure that Laura Bush didn't like the pattern anyway. Also, enjoy the housewarming gifts you've received from your "friends."

12. Thanks to you and your staff in the West Wing of the White House for vandalizing and destroying government property on the way out. I also appreciate removing all of that excess weight (China, silverware, linen, towels, ash trays, soap, pens, magnetic compass, flight manuals, etc.) out of Air Force 1. The weight savings means burning less fuel, thus less tax dollars spent on jet fuel, thank you!

13. Thank for letting your nick names be used by children all across America: "Billy Blowjob", "BillieBlobSlick" and many more.

14. And finally, please ensure that Hillary enjoys the $8 million dollar advance for her upcoming "tell-all" book and you, Bill, the $5 million advance for your memoirs. Who says crime doesn't pay!

Why shouldn't Americans know the real truth? What a guy!! If you agree that the American public must be made aware of these fact, pass this on. God bless America and THANK YOU (once again) for spending my taxes so wisely and frugally.

SINCERELY,

A US Citizen

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 21^st 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 7^th century...or a doublewide to house clinton double-speak. Take your choice.
