The Weekly Standard writer, Matt Labash, was sentenced to attend the week-long festivities in Little Rock leading up to the great Clinton Library opening. He has produced a hilarious account of the week, called "Clintonmania", for the Standard and it can be read here:
http://weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/004/969mluci.asp
It's too long to paste in here, but here's a sample:
"I wanted to take all my meals at Doe's Eat Place, Clinton's famous roadhouse-meets-steakhouse hangout, where the manager told me Clinton used to pop into the kitchen and snatch handfuls of fries right out of the fryer basket. But then, my hotel was next-door to his regular McDonald's, which boasted "The McRib is back!" in honor of the special week. Like millions of other Americans, I wanted to see Clinton's New Balance jogging shoes and the actual pair of shades he wore while blowing sax on Arsenio Hall, both of which are on display at the Old Statehouse. But then, the same actual sunglasses are purportedly on display at his new library. (Perhaps one pair was a stunt double.)"
Enjoy.

No offense Schadow, but I think the title of this thread is an oxymoron.

Intentionally so.
