CBS’s Scott Pelley asked Hillary Clinton if she ever lied to the American people. Her answer was less than forthright causing Pelley to comment it could seem she was leaving herself “wiggle room”. Even so, Hillary continued to avoid a direct answer by saying…
“You know, you’re asking me to say, ‘Have I ever?’ I don’t believe I ever have… I don’t believe I ever will. I’m going to do the best I can to level with the American people.”
We recall having credulity stretched by the Clintons (emphasis added).
Hillary Clinton’s Legacy of Scandal
Do you recall the slime that was Whitewater, in which the Clintons dissembled and lied while their former business partners went to jail? Do you remember Mrs. Clinton earning $100,000 in profit in 1979 on a $1,000 investment over the course of only 9 months in volatile cattle futures, about which she knew nothing, thanks to help from a highly placed Tyson Foods connection? Tyson profited handsomely in Arkansas, with state loans and appointments. We are to believe that Clinton studied the Wall Street Journal to achieve a feat against which the odds were one in 250 million. Do you recall the Rose Law Firm billing records that magically appeared in Mrs. Clinton’s White House office, years after they had been subpoenaed? Or the death of Vince Foster under rather extraordinary and inexplicable circumstances, and the lies and cover-up that followed? Do you recall that while testifying before congressional investigators as first lady, she answered “I don’t know” or “I don’t remember” 250 times?
You could say all politicians lie or, as they might put it, make misstatements or are taken out of context. The Republican candidates are spending a large part of their time calling each other liars. It is somewhat ironic that Hillary did not tell an outright lie in answer to Scott Pelley except that the Clintons can barely say anything at all without equivocating. Making definitive statements like “I never had sex with that woman” are a bit more troublesome even if eventually you get away with it as usual.
Diogenes would have zoomed right past Hillary. To paraphrase Jack Nicholson, She can’t handle the truth.
As a public service, and to remind and inform everyone, let’s review this article from an internet website, shall we? Yes. You can thank me later (to coin a phrase…)

Yes, during congressional hearings I believe it was “I don’t recall” …
She might have said that as Secretary of State she had to fib on occasion for national security or foreign policy reasons. I’d buy that.
But “try”? Everybody knows what Yoda said: ” Do. Or do not. There is no try.”
A common complication of a stroke is loss of memory. Just sayin’. As a part of her rehab, let me help Cankles remember a few of her well-documented lies…

I know Vince Foster would want you to read about them.
To be fair, it’s an utterly stupid question; I might say it’s the Kobayashi Maru of questions.
Personally speaking I’ve never lied.
Oops,I just did.
I will revert to childish commentary: Hillary – liar, liar pantsuit on fire!
Reminds me of the contractor who wanted me to pay him in full before he finished the work on my house and not demand a lien waiver from him either because he said he was “pretty honest.”
He tries to not be dishonest, NeverSurrender.
It’s not just Hillary, pathological liars are running rampant in today’s political class. http://depressiond.com/pathological-liar/
