They don't call him the Sage of Arkansas for nothing. It's simply the nature of the beast. But perhaps more than any chief executive before him, Clinton has elevated the art of the lie to its most brazen and visible practice yet. Every day he weaves a new tapestry of fantastic yarns and tall tales. He freely draws from each of the three categories of lies, choosing, as necessity dictates, from his bag of angry denials, strategic omissions, and ambiguous jabber.
Deliberate gobbledygook is just as deceptive as even the bluntest falsehood.
