Arkansas - Clinton Library weighs revamping, changing its exhibits
Associated Press (excerpt) ^ | May 27, 2008 | Jon Gambrell

Excerpt -

LITTLE ROCK - The permanent exhibits at the Clinton Presidential Library could be revamped or entirely changed as the landmark dedicated to the former president's time in office approaches its fifth anniversary, the facility's director said Tuesday.

Library director Terri Garner said discussions have begun about how best to showcase Bill Clinton's pursuits since leaving office in January 2001. That could include displays about work done by the William J. Clinton Foundation, which focuses on HIV/AIDS prevention and environmental policy.

Then there's also the matter of his wife, Hillary, and her own political career in the years since.

"You have to be a little bit careful because this is a library about his presidency," Garner said. "However, there needs to be an aspect of the ongoing post-presidency as well."

Discussions on how to change the library remain in preliminary stages, Garner said. However, she acknowledged it could involve changing everything.

"Usually within five to ten years of a permanent exhibit, you want to revamp it, you want to address it not in a small way, but sometimes it's a completely new design," Garner said. "We're at the very, very, very beginning stages. Realize, of course, there's a significant cost associated with it."

How to honor Hillary Rodham Clinton also remains in question. ...

The first thing they'll send to the landfill is the impeachment exhibit.

How about a new exhibit listing all of the pardons that Clinton sold for money to build his library in the first place?

They must have found some displays that contradict what Hillary has been saying in public and they need cover for the changes they’ve already made. How better to cover them than to announce a change. /tinfoil

The Massage Parlor. You know, the classy part of the place.

As you go through the wooden clapboard door into the vinyl linoleum floored main entrance, there will be a four foot high by three feet deep by three feet wide glass display case.

In that case will be a cheap, chipped, K-Mart clothing dummy with a brunette wig on, kneeling, and wearing a "stained" blue dress!

There will be a cool new exhibit in which the animatronic Hillary dodges sniper fire in the hot LZ at Tuzla Airport. No expense will be spared to replicate this amazing episode in all its combat-hardened reality.

So there’ll be LCD monitors instead of the old black and white turn-knob sets in the adult peep show booths?

How about exhibits for the following:

Vince Foster, still depressed
Ron Brown
Barbara Wise
Juanita Broaddrick (put a little ice on that)
Arkansas prison blood
Travel office, starring Billy Dale
Leaving the football carrier behind
Satellite technology to the Chinese
Putting Utah coal off the market
Nuclear launch on impact PDD
TWA Flight 800

And, I almost forgot, the World Trade Center bombing.

"Which section will the blue dress and cigar be in?"

Those articles will remain in the Massage Parlor section of the Library, in a display case right between the Clinton Bimbo Eruption Chronicles and the Arkancide Victim Photos ...

I interviewed at Forms+Surfaces and didn’t get the job.

They also designed the Ronald Regan Building in DC.
Funny thing though, when you go on their web site, you have to dig to find the clintoon trailer, before it used to be front and center. I would be ashamed as well.

What’s to discuss, just hang a picture of Monica in every secluded room over a sink.

I suspect Bubba wanted to make the European allies feel a little
better about all their butt-ugly modernist buildings.

What I do appreciate is the inclusion of the "Bridge To The
Twenty-First Century" exhibit to the left side of the building
as shown in that photograph.

It still looks like a big house trailer — perfect for Clinton’s library. Some things you cannot change and that is one of them.

When the inevitable happens and Hillary tanks, the amount of donations for the liberry from the high-roller Democrats, liberals, communists, radicals and foreign interests will tank also.

Admissions alone plus personal dollars from the upcoming clout-less couple will not keep this pathetic wheel estate in operation.

The economic situation will be further complicated in the event of a post-election marital split between Hillary and Bubba. Who will get the outside string of porta-potties and the Weber grill?

New exhibits will be like re-arranging the furniture in Bill's Harlem "office".
