“No, not one gun. (Parse it like Clinton, and it’s the truth.)”
I was telling my husband that Clinton didn’t lie. When he said he “did not have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky, NOT A SINGLE TIME”, that was true. It wasn’t a single time; it was multiple times. He pulled that crap so often. An artist at lying, for sure.
Actually, 'not a single time' was true.
If one can debate the use of the word 'is', he can claim he didn't lie, but misled with the truth.
The media are masters of the art, forming appearances by omission, partial information, and incomplete timelines without actually uttering falsehoods, even though the impressions they give are commonly on a reciprocal heading from reality.
