Bill Clinton inducted into the Black Hall of Fame
 
Hubby sent this to me this morning. I thought he was joking

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) _ Bill Clinton, once famously described by
author Toni Morrison as ``our first black president,'' is being inducted
into the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame as an honorary member.


The former president will be the first non-black recognized in the
hall's 10-year history. He is expected to attend the Saturday night event.


``It is this community's way of saying thank you to him for the work that he
has done,'' said Charles Stewart, the hall's chairman and founder.


The honor is in recognition of Clinton's appointment of blacks to high
levels in both state and federal government, and his post-White House
efforts to fight AIDS in Africa and the Caribbean, Stewart said.


``Most members of the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame have been personal friends
or heroes of mine. To be included in their numbers, after a lifetime of
working for equal rights and greater opportunity, is a wonderful gift,''
Clinton said Thursday.


Among others slated for induction are R&B and gospel singer Al Green and Dr.
Edith Irby Jones, the first black graduate of the College of Medicine at the
University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.


Past inductees include poet Maya Angelou, Ebony and Jet magazine publisher
John H. Johnson Jr. and former Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders.

Yeah, it's BS.
But it's a mildly funny joke.
And this comes from someone who loathes politics.

Not a joke....
 
Bill was on the TODAY show this weekend talking about his induction.
