Hillary has her own room or wing at the new Clinton Presidential Library. Let us assume she will probably use it as an HQ for her 2008 presidential bid.
Donations to a presidential library are not covered or restricted by any campaign-finance laws.
The money can be used in any way the Library Board allows.
The library is under no legal obligation to divulge the source of the donations.
All I can say is:
Wow!
Theoretically, Hillary (through the Library Board) can accept any amount of money from any source (France, Saudi Arabia, Communist China) with absolutely no legal restrictions.
All we have to do is watch the Library Board. If it gets stacked with Hillary cronies and campaign advisors…
Every First Lady gets her own section of a Presidential Library. So what?
Why would you assume that?
When they say that Hillary is “getting her own room” or “wing” or whatever, it does not mean that she is being given ownership of a section to put to her own use, it means that there will be a public display/archive about her.
People can donate to the library but that’s not money that could be used for any political campaign, nor are you going to see an HRC campaign headquarters setting up camp in a public building in Arkansas. These places are like museums, not office bulidings.
O rose, thou art sick!
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night,
In the howling storm,
Has found out thy bed
Of Crimson joy;
And his secret dark love
Does thy life destroy.
–William Blake
My god, Roseworm. Remove the tinfoil from your head. It won’t stop the Democrats from lobotomizing you when they finally haul you away, anyway. It’s much too thin.
Unless they already have. Which would explain a lot, quite frankly.
Let us assume that we are mouth-breathing idiots who can barely eat a sandwich without serious injury. What, then, do we do at 4 pm every Thursday? Do we mess ourselves and sit around in our own filth until someone changes us, or do we stumble around the closet ineptly trying to find the glue and construction paper and write a letter to Santa Claus? Let us assume that Santa is Hillary’s running mate and Vice President. Will taxpayers have to subsidize the care of a heard of magic flying reindeer? Will we still have to pay for the upkeep of Airforce One even though the President and Vice President can travel faster than sound in a sled powered by love and the happy dreams of children? Can we change the national motto to “Peace on Earth and goodwill toward men,” or does this violate the Equal Protection Clause, the separation of church and state, Title IX, the speed limit, and the Treaty of Tripoli? And why is it called Tripoli? There’s only one of it. And who is Cecil Adams anyway? Is he John Gault?
I trust my point is clear. When you start by making moronic assumptions like the ones in your OP, I wonder what the hell you’re trying to accomplish. It doesn’t make Hillary look bad, it doesn’t make anyone suspicious of her, it just makes people wonder what the hell is wrong with you. Speaking of which, what the hell IS wrong with you? You’ve peaked my curiosity.
Come to think of it, there will be a George W. Bush Presidential Library soon enough. I may live to see it if the irony of a George W. Bush Library doesn’t kill me. So couldn’t everything Roseworm says here also be true about Laura Bush? She’ll get her own room, she could use it as her HQ to run for President in maybe 2012, or the Senate or something. And she’ll secretly fund her campaign with cash from Iran and Al Qaeda and Halliburton and everything, really she could.
They’re not assumptions, they’re facts. Facts I tells you. Facts. How do I knows they’s facts? A magic pixie fairy told me. Or maybe it was Vibratin’ O’Reilly. I don’t know. It’s all true here in bizarro bunker.
I enjoyed the image of a library wing, full of spectacled researcher quietly browsing through records, trying despretely to ignore the national presidential campaign going on in the corner.
I don’t drink, but we’ll figure something out.
