The largest and busiest airport in Arkansas would no longer be named after the only president and first lady from the state if a bill introduced in the legislature on Thursday succeeds.

The legislation would prohibit public buildings or civil works from being named for anyone living or who served in public office in the 10 years prior to the structure’s completion.

The bill makes no mention of former President Bill Clinton or former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, for whom the Little Rock airport was re-named four years ago - as Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport/Adams Field - but its author does not hesitate to identify its target.

“You have a president who was impeached for having an affair with an intern in the Oval Office and then disbarred,” said state Sen. Jason Rapert, the bill’s author and one of the Arkansas legislature’s most outspoken conservatives.

2. Of course he did...

Frankly, I'm kind of supportive of the idea of not naming shit until the honoree is dead, but going back and erasing names like it's some kind of offensive graffite is wrong, too.

Shit, there are thousands of buildings and shit named after Reagan. I'd like to scrub those first.

3. Smh at Rape-rt and the rest of my state's legislature.

How about fixing actual problems instead of making men consent to abortions and whinging about the very idea of paying FICA tax on their salaries?
