:lol: I love the look that the guy holding the door's giving him.

I'm still pissed :finger: :finger: over the Clintons having that
historic black train depot torn down when it could have been restored
and incorporated into the library.

I'm no Bush fan, but considering Clinton shoving vets out of the way during a certain anniversary so he could get a good photo op on the beach...

There're some good shots of that library opening. I love the one with Clinton and Bush peering over their shoulders at the entertainment, and there's one that made it look like Chelsea was making a move on her dad. :shock:

I take it there's a source for this somewhere.

And even if true, that's still a prime example of a Tu-quoque Fallacy.

If he was making a point, it might be. I didn't see one being made, therefore it would be impossible for him to employ a fallacy while making one.

He was attempting to say that because Clinton supposedly shoved vets out of the way for a photo-op, that somehow negates the lack-of-class shown by Dear Leader for doing the same to Clinton ("What goes around comes around, Willy"). That is indeed attempting to make a point and is a Tu-quoque Fallacy.

I seriously doubt Frigid would lie about it. And I see precisely zero indication that he was saying that Bush was any better for Clinton's action.

Looks like a mistake, I've done that before and it felt really awkward.

I'm studying for the CPA exam. Have a nice summer, and if you're down just sit back and realize that Joe is off somewhere, doing much worse than you are.

Ugh, couldn't they have spruced up the local foliage a bit? Looks trashy.

I think it's just the angle of the shot. The the foliage on the other bank looks ok.

And her nuzzling of her dad was a bit disturbing. Wondering if he'll keep the next affair in the family. :shock:

On an unrelated note, I will be moving to Little Rock in about a week and a half, and plan on visiting the library soon after my arrival. I will report back if the exhibits, floors, door knobs, etc, are sticky or not.

I never realised what a honker Bill had before. Dubya does indeed seem to be the average chap off the street there, and I suppose that's a selling point. Of a sort. :wink:
