Bill Clinton's presidential library raised more than 10 percent of the cost of its $165 million facility from foreign sources, with the most generous overseas donation coming from Saudi Arabia...roughly the same amount it gave toward the presidential library of George H.W. Bush

Whazzup with the Saudis bankrolling our Presidential libraries?

Damned Clinton, um... so now what ?

HAHA its funny because Clinton got blown by an intern. OMG Subby I can't stop laughing you waste of life.

vote Democrat, time for a chang... oh shiat

How long have you been saving that gem, Subby? Weak.

Oh noes, brownies are funding a top secret agency... presidential libraries?

Boy, that blowjob thing still just gets me all angry. Worst president evurrr.

Yup, suck it GOPers. Clinton gets sucked by a woman, while you tap your foot in a public bathroom or chase a 16 year old page boy, while your religious mentor is buying speed from his homo prostitute drug dealer.

This thread is full of dumb.

THIS.

In spades.

Nice.

I thought subby was generally witty, and wouldn't have considered it any more partisan than a Letterman opening montage joke, that is until I came in here and found out it must have been posted as a direct slam on libs.

the humanity!

POAC: Whazzup with the Saudis bankrolling our Presidential libraries?

It's a tip for Bush and Clinton going the extra mile and swallowing.

Remember when the worst thing about our President was his rampant libido?

Good times...good times....

>> Clinton Library got funds

Speaking of funds here's Flim Flam Hanity and Ollie North's military charity scam

From the article -

Note also that of the roughly 5.5 million dollars spent in 2006, (and I suspect this is underreported and it's a lot more but we'll use this "best case" scenario) ONLY $306,500 of that goes to the Scholarship Grants. For the mathematically disinclined, $306,500 of roughly 5.5 million is less than 6%.

Thus, Hannity's scam concerts, assuming a best case scenario favorable to Hannity, show that of a ticket, 6% of 8% of the average admission price minus parking and facility fees (again I'm giving Hannity favorable math here.) goes to scholarship grants.

6 percent of 8 percent is .0048 or less than a half percent of every ticket.

I'm sure Insanitized concertgoers would be thrilled to learn that less than 1/2 a percent of their ticket price, assuming a best case scenario, actually goes to the scholarship grants to help the troops.

it's a farking library, not a presidential campaign, it can HAVE chinese crockery in it!

"As president, he was beloved around the world, so it should come as no surprise that there has been an outpouring of financial support from around the world to sustain his post-presidential work," a foundation statement said.

This.

I can't imagine that many foreigners (apart from the ubiquitous Saudis) will want to donate to the George W. Bush presidential library. But then again the George W. Bush presidential library probably won't contain all that many books.

JerkyMeat: Yup, suck it GOPers. Clinton gets sucked by a woman, while you tap your foot in a public bathroom or chase a 16 year old page boy, while your religious mentor is buying speed from his homo prostitute drug dealer.

Heh. Republicowned.

just one

I like how all the leftists jumped in with attacks on subby for daring to mention Clinton's affairs and completely ignored the article about the funding.

Lionel Mandrake: Remember when the worst thing about our President was his rampant libido?

Good times...good times....

Ah yes, that was all that was bad about him, just his libido...

BTW, a few people would like to speak with you:

The gays in the military would like to have a word with you about "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"...
The unions would like to have a word with you about NAFTA...
The Serbs, Croats, and Bosnians would like to talk to you about Yugoslavia...
The Iraqis would like to have a word with you about the WMD intelligence in 1998...

Oh yeah, and there is one mighty pissed off camel in Afghanistan that would like to talk to you about cruise missiles being lobbed from hundreds of miles away...

/ BTW, before you get all defensive...every president makes decisions questioned by some percentage of the population, and NONE of them are perfect. If you seriously believe that the worst move by Clinton was isolated to his lack of libido control, then I don't know what to tell you.

MrGMan: The gays in the military would like to have a word with you about "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"...

Wasn't that a liberalisation of the existing "We'll ask, and you'd better damned tell so we can give you a dishonourable discharge..."?

Clinton....chick joke.....boring......

Wish that was all America had to worry about now.

I'm not a leftist, but have you got a pic of Clinton doing this? Let's get real about who the biggest whore is.







The Saudis know to keep our Presidents happy and the Presidents know to keep them happy.

b-b-b-but....CLINTON!

/Get over it, assholes.

The royal family of Saudi Arabia gave the Clinton facility in Little Rock about $10 million, roughly the same amount it gave toward the presidential library of George H.W. Bush, according to people directly familiar with the contributions.

No more Bushes... No more Clintons... That's the deal.

/Vote early.
//Vote often.
///Vote Obama.

POAC: Whazzup with the Saudis bankrolling our Presidential libraries?

Influence. Buying a former president keeps a lot of doors open.

money = terror

embrace poverty!

the saudi's? I would have guessed the chinese. they still havent paid us for all of those nuclear secrets that clinton gave them.

I never said Bush didn't cozy up to Saudi leaders. I simply pointed out that the leftists in the thread completely ignored the fact that Clinton got money from them for his library and formed a jihad against he who dared to bring up Clinton's affairs.

It's the state of politics in the US these days. If you don't like the message you either attack the messenger or you pull a "but...but...XXX" where XXX is a political leader of the other party that somehow screwed up.

Meanwhile both main parties reap the benefits of having so firmly split the country that hardly anyone dares to question the actions of their own side and most view a vote for a third party as "wasted".
