Here’s a modest proposal for contemporary historians.

Much has been written lately about the President’s search for a lasting presidential legacy. With the economy crumbling at the end of his shift and a Middle East peace agreement out of reach, we’re left with two options.

If you can’t say anything good…say nothing at all.

But if it proves impossible or impractical to bury eight years of Ruby Ridge, Waco, Elian and Oklahoma City, there may be a third alternative.

Rather than wasting taxpayers’ money building a Clinton Presidential library, we suggest the first family of graft solicit a few million dollars from the Red Chinese and their many corporate sponsors to construct…Bill Clinton’s Hypocrisy Hall of Fame.

The exhibits could be varied but with a common theme. Say one thing. Do another.

We could open the "rogue’s gallery" with a picture of young Bill Clinton meeting John F. Kennedy in the oval office…and a soundtrack of former vice-presidential candidate Lloyd Bentson saying, "I knew John F. Kennedy. And you…sir…are no John F. Kennedy."

There would be a framed copy of Bill’s famous letter to the ROTC commander stating how he "loathes the military," right next to President Bill saluting a Marine honor guard.

We would hear a tape recording from his anti-tobacco campaign, displayed next to a photo of Monica Lewinsky and a partially smoked cigar.

In the media room, we would see Bill Clinton telling a giggling MTV audience how he tried marijuana once but didn’t inhale. Push the button on another screen and we get Bill praising his own "anti-drug" legacy. Footage pops up from last Thursday’s press conference where he tells reporters, "We must never give up on making our children’s futures safe and drug-free."

Once more, we would view footage of a laughing Bill Clinton exiting Ron Brown’s funeral, catching sight of a video camera and instantly changing his emotions, weeping uncontrollably to fit the mood of the moment.

The "Wag the Dog" exhibit would feature an intense president telling the nation, "I did not have sex with that woman," the video instantly cutting away to footage of a smoking aspirin factory in the Sudan, attacked to deflect media attention from key congressional impeachment hearings.

And for the coup de grace…we would hear Bill Clinton promising America the most "ethical" administration in the history of the nation. Then, we would enter the archives, filled with millions of "deleted e-mails" and thousands of pages of testimony from the dozens of criminal investigations involving Mr. Clinton and his associates…many imprisoned…some deceased.

Will there be a second "Hillary" wing in the works?

This is the stuff that nightmares are made of.
