EX-CLINTON AIDE: DC Renaissance Hotel's'S Sports Bar is Deification of Bush, Anti-Clinton
USNewswire via Bloomberg, no url | 2/14/03

Posted on 02/14/2003 12:24:48 PM PST by NativeNewYorker

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Ex-Clinton political aide

Bob Weiner is slamming the D.C. downtown Renaissance Hotel's new

presidential photo sports bar as a ''deification of Bush,

anti-Clinton, and thereby partisan.''

   Weiner, who served as Public Affairs Director for the White House

Drug Czar and was a White House Athletic Center board member while

Clinton was President, visited the new bar yesterday in advance of

today's (Friday) opening to see how the presidential sports pictures

looked and to offer a photo of Clinton leading a group of runners,

including DC Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton. ''I expected to join in

the celebration,'' Weiner stated.

   Instead, Weiner said, ''I saw an entrance corridor of four dramatic

George W. Bush photos, another Bush photo on a wall, and one Clinton

photo -- buried in a corner inside the actual bar, of him playing

pool. To me, and to several hotel employees with whom I spoke, the

Bush photos were disproportionate considering that Clinton is our most

recent and an eight-year president. The one Clinton photo denigrates

the spirit of enthusiastic leadership he conveyed, and the photos of

everyone else -- including Reagan and Bush I both riding horses over

fencesshow vitality and high adventure.''

   ''Clinton's sports love, as everyone knows, was running -- he told

me himself that he ran 25-30 miles a week. We offered the Renaissance

a beautiful picture -- free -- of him running, poster sized, and even

offered to quickly get a comparable outstanding frame from the

National Gallery so it would match the other quite wonderful photos of

the many other presidents the exhibit has. The exhibit manager, Bill

Englar, the hotel's Food and Beverage Manager, responded, 'I paid a

contractor, they organized it, and there's no space.' I responded with

what I felt was obvious -- 'We are not charging anything, doesn't your

contractor work for you, and here or here or here (pointing) there is

lots of space.' He then asked for a better quality photo, and I showed

him a clear original, which could be quickly re-poster-sized. But it

was clear no response by me would be adequate, especially since he

would not even look at our photo when asked several times, until I

physically held it up in front of him.''

   ''My worst fear is that because of Renaissance being a Marriott

hotel and Marriott owners' history of strong Republic allegiance,

there is a strong partisan and anti-Clinton bent in an exhibit that is

open to all DC. I know that the hotel does not only want Republican

patrons, so it is my hope they will balance the exhibit and include

photos like the one we've suggested to show Clinton's genuine

enthusiasm and the mantle of leadership he epitomized in available

sports photos,'' Weiner concluded.

The most appropriate sports picture of Clinton would be him riding in a golf cart with Vernon Jordan, both of them smoking honking big cigars.

I still maintain that the original poster of these pics used Photoshop to give him Hil-liar's legs.

ROTFLMAO!!! You've got a point there. Normally I stay away from any kind of klintoon thread...my stomach ties up in knots, and very nasty thoughts come to my mind. But this one kind of intrigued me, probably because it was a klintoon whine.
When I saw your pic, that was my instant reaction.
Oooohhh! YUK!

The "I did not have sex with that woman..." is a good one, but how about the "laugh and one fake tear for Ron Brown"? The Condom Christmas tree? Did anyone get that on film? Lots of great pictures.

I did not have.........."

Yes, and I'll bet that he told you that he didn't have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky.

Is this guy's name Weiner or Whiner?

That picture demonstrates the lack of what most consider an essential component of leadership; morality. The comlpete lack of dignity the Clintons brought to our sacred institutions must never be forgotten. I make a solemn vow; I will make a pilgramage to Little Rock, my own personal Hajj if you will, to visit the Counter Clinton Library.

"...we could make a point of asking Bob Weiner why he believes Clinton, a noted perjuror, was telling the truth when he said this?"

That's been my beef with ANYTHING SlickWillieTheSerialRAPIST has EVER said...why do folks even listen to his lies anymore?! Every word Slick utters should be presumed to be a LIE!!

A true story about Bob Weiner. He spent the winter of his junior year at an Eastern prepschool stealing spoons from the dining hall and using them to dig through the 3 foot thick exterior wall of his dorm room. He was doing the escape from prison routine. Still doesn't grasp reality, does he.

Why not cover the floor in front of the urinals and comodes with clintoon pics?

BWAHAHAHA..."No Sympathy for the Lib'rals"
(To be sung to the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil")

Please allow me to introduce the World...
To the Left, they feel no shame!
Been around here for forty long years...
Stole many a man's Hope and Faith!
Fascists in Power when Jesus Christ...
Bore our crosses and bore our pain.
Made damn sure our Savior...
Wouldn't threaten their Evil Reign!
Please believe me...Lib'rals are to blame!
Despite their righteous talk, more Power is their aim!!

They saw their chance in St. Petersburg,
When they saw the Monarchy had been shamed.
Killed the Czar and his ministers...
As well as any Man who could think!
They rode the tanks in Heil Hitler's ranks...
When the blitzkrieg raged and all Waco stank!
Please believe me...Socialists are to blame!
Oh, yeah! Bloody failures, yet, they seem oblivious to shame!

They cheered with glee helpin' Pol Pot succeed...
Led by Hanoi Jane, their hands are bloody-stained!
They shouted out, "Who killed the Left's Elite?"
While slaughterin' all who just wished to breathe free!
Let me please clarify myself, these Elites have wealth and "taste"...
But their attacks on Liberty...have become a National Disgrace!!

I swear to you, DemocRATS are to blame!
Oh yeah! But what's puzzlin' me is their arrogant lack of shame!
Ah, yeah!...Go out and get 'em, boys!!

(kewl guitar jammin')

Please believe me, Slick's tyrants are to blame.
Oh yeah! But what's important now is imprisonin' Bill in chains!!!
'Cuz the Prez'dent's just a criminal...and all his critics Saints!
While I could call Slick "Lucifer," I'll exhibit some restraint!
When you see Slick, show due courtesy...
But have no sympathy, 'cuz Bill's a snake!
Condemn all his corrupt politics, or be ashamed to show your face!!

Pleased to meet you...Mudboy Slim's my name!
Uhm, yeah! Bringin' Clinton down is why I must serenade.
Uhmm, I mean it...Get out...Yeehah...Resign!...Get on out, BOY! Ah, yeah!

Tell you Country, Lib'rals are their name.
Tell you, voters, it's something you can change!
Tell us, Willie, where's your shame?!
Tell you one thing, Slick's to blame!!
Ooh Hoo! Ooh Hoo! Wahoo! Alright! Ooh Hoo Ooh! Ooh Hoo Ooh! Ah yeah!
