Clinton Opens a Library... Nation Yawns

Why is the major news media (Right and Left) so obsessed with the opening of the Bill Clinton Presidential Library? The Left wants to use it as though the Clinton years were Camelot (does that make Monica Lancelot or Guinevere?). The Right wants to use it as a chance to showcare the narcissism of the Clintons and to terrify the world of the potential of a Hillary 2008 run. Um, so what? Every president (well ex-president) has a library. It showcases their legacy (or lack thereof) and provides a place for the ex-president to hang out when the wife goes out to give a speech or pass a law in Congress. Move along people, nothing to see here.



Of course, CRChair reminded me that it is an event with 4 living presidents at it (Carter, Bush, Bush, Goose! I mean, Clinton.) So I guess that is worthy of note. But let us be honest. This is about as exciting as the opening of another Wal-Mart in town, and I'll bet the prices in the gift shop are not the lowest in town. So let's get this over with and get on with talking about things like... oh, say... THE WAR?!
