The Clinton Library
Posted by jbholston at 11:32 PM

Just watched the rain-drenched ceremony on C-Span.

Bono and the Edge, acoustic guitar clear, singing Sunday, Bloody Sunday ... in honor of Clinton's efforts for the Peace in Ireland. A clarion piercing through a morose American sky today....

I remember flying once on a business trip across country. The Edge was in first class, with his son. Calm, quiet, clear-eyed.

Watching Bush chatter on the sidelines, impatient while they sang, I had to marvel again that the words didn't seem to be penetrating ......

Of course, as the Economist points out, the library does look like one immense glass house trailer. Which as Clinton points out, is just about right for him...

It looks about as classy as say, the Boulder library? Or the Denver library? Or how about that wonderful structure the Denver convention center? adn those lovely two dancing critters (at least they are more in scale now). Or the BEEEOOOOTIFOOOL new museum builidng?

Hardly structure that will stand the test of time.
