So many have accused former President Bill Clinton of lying, one almost has to wonder if he is capable of discerning between truth and fiction.
The latest to excoriate Mr. "Depends What The Meaning of 'Is' Is?" One of Bill Clinton's plentiful paramours, Monica Lewinsky.
In response to Clinton's recent remark to U.S. news show "60 Minutes" that he had the affair "for the worst possible reason -- because I could," Lewinsky said she "was really upset" when she first heard it.
"I have spent the past several years working so hard to just move on, and to try and build a life for myself," said Lewinsky, 30, who has been a spokeswoman for diet company Jenny Craig and host of the reality TV show "Mr. Personality."
Lewinsky, who told her own account of the affair in the 1999 book "Monica's Story," said she reluctantly spoke out about Clinton's tome "My Life" because he tried to rewrite history.
"He says he was proud of the way that he defended the presidency, at my expense," she said.
"In the process he destroyed me, and that was the way he was going to have to do that, to get through impeachment," Lewinsky added. "I was a young girl and to hear him saying some of the things he was saying today -- it's a shame."
The Clinton idolators will snap up the books and continue their fawning over this man.
But the rest of us will see him for what he is: a man with a multitude of talents, but an empty vessel when it comes to morality, fairness and courage.
