Story in Clinton's memoir baffles former presidential adviser

Boston Globe ^ | June 25, 2004 | Michael Kranish

Roger Porter knows more than most people about presidential power. He teaches a course at Harvard University on the American presidency and has served three Republican occupants of the White House -- Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and George H. W. Bush. But this week, he got an unexpected lesson about the presidency from a former Democratic occupant of the Oval Office, Bill Clinton.

"I don't know why he would make this story up,"

Hmmm......Gee...... now why would Clinton lie??

[Jeff Head]

"I don't know why he would make this story up"

I LIED TO EVERYONE

[Taliesan]

"I don't know why he would make this story up," Porter said.

All together now: Because he could.

[steve-b]

Porter said he cannot fathom why Clinton tells the tale.

Er, gee, could it be that Clinton is a habitual liar with a taste for self-aggrandizement?

[jwalsh07]

He lies because he can.

[nuconvert]

Hey, now that would be the same reason for his affair with Lewinsky.

[Just mythoughts]

"He lies because he can."


Don't forget about the "DEMONS" they make him LIE and..........!

[jwalsh07]

Yup. He also rapes because he can. He left Army Rangers without armor because he could. He pardoned terrorists because he could. He used an intern as a humidor because he could. He took Chinese money in return for American technology because he could.

No different than other evil scumbags throughout history, just a bit more subdued.

[nuconvert]

But nothing 'bad' that's revealed or 'goes wrong', is ever his fault. And don't you forget it.

[No!]

"I don't know why he would make this story up," Porter said.

"Because I could.. Slick Willy"

[randita]

When the false assertions Clinton makes in his book are fully exposed, it will take another book to list them all.

No in the mainstream media will challenge him, so he'll get away with rewriting history.

[YaYa123]

I think this is THE most important article of the day!!

This lie is hugh, because it's why Clinton says he ran for president in 92.....so his whole house of cards is a sham.

Bill Clinton has been outted by a Presidential Historian, now will the mainstream media give a rip? Probably not. Nor will they realize the significance, the brazenness, of this particular lie.

Bill Clinton can ramble on endlessly about how therapy cured him, he can use all the psycho-babble buzz words as if he invented them, but this one passage in the book, and even worse his interview, proves he's still the same lying ass, self-serving slug he always was. And he still thinks he's immune from being challenged on his lies! He thinks he's untouchable!

I've heard him say in one of the interviews that he knew in 92 the Republicans would do anything, ANYTHING to keep him from winning "because they thought it destroyed the natural order of things for a democrat to win the White House."

In his interview, he didn't use Porter's name, but the lie in the book and the words in the interview are identical.

Thanks for the post...it's FABULOUS!!!

[Darksheare]

Clinton made it up to backup his (and Hillary's) cover story that it's all the eee-vil Republicans fault and that we're out to 'get him'.
We don't need to 'get him', he does a fine job on his own.
*chuckle*

[Clara Lou]

Go figure-- Bill's a liar.

[sgtbono2002]

Clintons book and his interviews about it have shown the man to be even more psyschotic than even we Republicans knew he was.

[2grit]

In Clinton's mind this is not a lie. It serves his purpose so well that it becomes true in his deranged thinking. That's why he does not hesitate to publish it as fact. As America recovers from the hypnotic state Clinton cast over the left-believers, Clinton will be seen for what he really was. As a result, Clinton will become more desparate to save his legacy, his thinking will become more deranged, and his statements will grow even more bazaar.
