So tae set up a chat with Leonard Garment, the jazz saxophonist turned lawyer who served as Richard Nixon's counsel in 1973-74, as the walls came tumbling down. A liberal Democrat in the 1960s, Garment befriended former Vice President Richard Nixon when he arrived as the new guy at Garment's New York law firm. You just don't know how to lie.
All politicians do a lot of lying.
But Nixon had trouble lying. I mean, by the end of the day he would be gone. Clinton's case is really an extraordinary tour de force, or tour de farce, depending upon your ideological point of view. No, and I'm happy I haven't become a competent liar. But I don't just get up there piously, pompously blurting out the truth all the time.
