The LA Times reports that many of those panting for Hillary Clinton documents from the Clinton Library will remain breathless for a considerable time.
This is presented as something of a novelty. And the other girls make Hillary look bad:
“About 75,000 pages of Rosalynn Carter’s records are publicly available, including scheduling and social office files. Both the Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush libraries also said that some records covering former first ladies Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush were open”
The article does portray Library archivists working through the mountain of FOIA requests in the order received, with the aching slowness of the process attributed to staff shortages at the Clinton and all US President’s libraries.
But the flag goes up, and the usual suspects snap to with ominous muttering and rote denunciations of the liberal hypocrisy which somehow caused National Archive staff to decline under President Bush. Even sports bores rush to inform the world of her crimes.

Who hems our pants?
Thanks to the youngsters at postfoetry we learn that the Library of Congress is dumping it’s Presidential action figures, at half price!
Who wouldn’t want a doll which belts out such priceless pearls as “I believe again that the American people are capable of self control and of learning by their mistakes?”[Teddy Roosevelt of course!]
Which one is not like the other ones? 
A Senate Committee has passed reporting requirements for Presidential Libraries, with living ex presidents caught up in the dragnet aimed at the Bush Library in waiting. The dead get a pass.
The House version does not go after the foundations of Libraries already part of the National Archives system.
Happy filing to the Clinton, Carter and Bush[1] entities!

UPDATE: Avast and Ahoy! 
It could be another bad week for America’s favorite ambassador from the unspeakable. Fresh from accusations he received a whopping two billion dollar bribe [some allegedly filtered through Washington’s quietly mourned despot’s depository, Riggs Bank] Saudi Arabia’s former ambassador to Washington, Prince Bandar bin Sultan may one of the bigger losers Wednesday when a Senate committee takes up a bill to open presidential archives. The Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee will consider a bill to overturn President Bush’s Executive Order which has effectively closed Presidential papers except those Formers, their descendants and stray former Vice Presidents chose to let loose. The House has already passed a version. Disclosure may shed light on decades of Bandar’s dealings with two generations of Bushs, from Lebanese car bombings through presidential library building to the magnificent anti Shia alliance he has helped cobble together in the Middle East. The Committee is also looking at greater disclosure for donors to the libraries.
