The LIttle Rock, Ark., airport is being renamed after Hillary and Bill Clinton, and locals are excited.
The new Bill and Hillary Clinton
National Airport in Little Rock, Ark., will hold a dedication ceremony
May 3 featuring the former President and his wife and ex- Secretary of
State — but there’s just one problem for the snazzy new airport.
“Locals are calling it the Hillbilly Airport,” one insider tells
Confidenti@l. “And project managers certainly don’t want an airport
named after our President called Hillbilly. In the South. How does that
look to the world?”
