Pondering the Clintons' many scrapes with the law and with public convention over the last dozen years of the Clinton Glory, we can ascertain one weird quirk shared by both eminences that explains their unprecedented string of scandals.
Having reviewed both their autobiographies, I see this one weird quirk standing out ever more starkly. The Clintons land in the soup most frequently because they lie when they do not have to, and they tell a whopper when a little white lie would be perfectly understandable. Whether this gratuitous mendacity is a profound moral defect, I leave to the theologians. What is unconscionable and cruelly exploitive is that after being caught in their lies so many times they continue manipulating the passions of the more gullible sort of Democrat who has joined the Clintons in transforming their soap opera into one of the Democratic Party's national issues.

Good find, good read.
Mr. Tyrrell doesn't much like the Clintons!
Ya ain't gonna find any around here either that like the Clintons.
"...they lie when they do not have to, and they tell a whopper when a little white lie would be perfectly understandable"
You know, I think Americans have had an animal smart, gut sense about these two from the start because we all know people just like this in our own experience. As far as possible, and once we determine this about them, we keep our distance. The real grate with these two is that we had to endure them, the lying flakes and hucksters that they are, as president and first lady for 8 years.
I rarely use the word "hate."
I hate the Clinton's with a passion I thought I could never muster -- me being a Southren Gennleman, an' all!
There are days it takes all the discipline I can muster to not want to haul off and knock these people flat.
I just keep reminding myself that the good Lord will handle them when he's good and ready.
Crisp salute to you, skipper.
In my dream of dreams, the SS turns its back while I kick Slick Willie's ass! And bitch slap his wife!
Just because I can!
The Clintons have shown me that I need a stronger word than "hate" to adequately describe my feelings toward him and his wife and the stain they've left on our country. But I do hate the fact that he appears to have gotten away with everything, perhaps even rape and murder.
