Clinton Library Attendance Disappointing

When it opened two months ago, Bill Clinton's presidential library was supposed to draw so many visitors that the city of Little Rock would become a tourist mecca.

However early reports claiming that over 100,000 had visited in just the first six weeks have turned out to be bogus.

The National Archives and Records Administration, which operates the facility, tells U.S. News & World Report that only 42,054 paid to enter. The rest were guests of the former president and freebies to VIPs. Despite wall-to-wall television coverage of its opening, and a deluge of favorable press, attendance figures for the $162 million compound are even less than the attendance at the Reagan and Bush 41 libraries immediately after they opened.

"I thought it would be better," a disappointed Clinton told the magazine.

Guessing there are far better sources of porn in Little Rock

[Joe Boucher]

Why would any one go to visit the "trailer" raised up on the banks of the river?
To glorify this pervert? This rapist? This weasel that sold Americas security to the chi coms?

This is so disappo_inting

[SpyGuy]

Clinton's already been relegated to the ash heap of history. Let's hope his wife quickly follows.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Attendance is disappointing me, I am greatly disappointed that anybody wants to go there at all.

[TomSmedley]

let me quote a letter to the editor published in durham, nc:

John Cole's cartoons continue to delight. I really enjoyed the sly, erudite piety displayed in his November 21 jab at the Clinton Memorial Library. Beyond the obvious reference to the generic sleaze of the Clinton fund raising machinery, Cole saluted two literal "acts of God." (1) The providential tornado that popped open the trunk of a junked car, revealing the "lost" Rose Law Firm billing records, and (2) the uncanny resemblance of the library's design to the "redneck highrise" so well known to us little people in flyover country, but terra incognita to an insular New York architectural firm! As Psalm 2 points out, God always has the last laugh.

Today, I am laughing with John Cole, and with my Creator. Thanks, Herald Sun!

I hear the flushing of a toilet and I see the tail end of a legacy spinning around in the air just over the rim of the bowl!

So Really.. Who's disappointed?

[chiefqc]

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Hey now Bill!...you got to realize...there's only so many people in trailer parks in Arkansas...

[HMFIC]

The people keep SPEAKING Bubba.....YOU WERE and ARE GARBAGE! Now, get the freak back to Dogpatch and take your skank with you.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Hate to tell you folks this, but I predicted this on the opening day of the library. Just as the country gained nothing from Bill Clinton's Presidency, Little Rock and the state of Arkansas will suffer the same fate. The library is a failure and always will be.

[garyhope]

Have you ever been to Little Rock?

I have and it's not really much to write home about. Not much to do, not much to see.

Who needs or wants to see anymore of anything Clintonian? Pas moi.

[Petronski]

Wait a minute.....


You gotta PAY to enter?


Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

I can see the inside of fine manufactured homes right here in rural PA. Down at the factory they'll let you tour for free. After that, a jug of 'chianti' and some free boobie-shots on Google Images and I'm sure I've got the whole "Clinton Experience" down pat.

[DooDahhhh]

Yep, I don't know what else one would make of his legacy. Let's see he wins an election : ( then beats it to the White House and goes personally to check problems with his moving truck (that was troublesome to me for some reason) is that presidential or what! Then proceeds to do what - Jennifer Flowers problem appears. Fast Forward - A variety of folks start getting dead - Whitewater real estate deal - Hubbels jailed - more folks dead - Vince Foster - Suicide _Ha! - Brown - Oklahoma City - Monica - Linda Tripp - Dead office worker - Lying under oath - oral sex not sex - shooting up an asprin factory - constantly having a red nose as if he may have been snorting something and having folks say that they saw him participating in this practice as governor. I am sure my time line is off, but thought I would bring out some highlights of his brilliant career.
