As a sociopath, he just can't help it. Of course, having his brain screwed up from cocaine doesn't help either.
"Fifty-four years ago this week, I was born in a summer storm to a young widow in a small Southern town," he said. "America gave me the chance to live my dreams. I have tried to give you a better chance to live yours. Now, with hair grayer and wrinkles deeper, but with the same optimism and hope I brought to the work I love eight years ago, my heart is filled with gratitude."
And now from his MY BOOK OF LIES:
"Early on the morning of August 19, 1946, I was born under a clear sky after a violent summer storm to a widowed mother in the Julia Chester Hospital in Hope, a town of about six thousand in southwest Arkansas, thirty-three miles east of the Texas border at Texarkana."
===================================================
Some will say it is not a big deal. Perhaps it is not.
But can't the reader reasonably expect that even a self-aggrandizing, sociopathic author would at least wait a few pages for the first lie? Not the impeached and disgraced rapist William Jefferson Blythe Clinton --- HE DOES IT IN THE FIRST SENTENCE!
We should have made a list of his lies in that dang book.
......a violent summer storm to a widowed mother in the Julia Chester Hospital in Hope,
I thought that a "widow" is a woman who has lost her husband.
IIRC there may have been a problem with the legality of the Blythe marriage....BJ's father may have forgotten that he was already married to another woman, so BJ's mom may not have really been a "widow."
I am sure the list will come in no time at all.
"...then a thong snapped"
"... causing an airplane crash in the vicinity of the Dubrovnik airport."
Trying really hard to make himself appear like a statesman!
Sure his heart is filled with gratitude! The American people elevated a hillbilly scumbag who never had a real job or owned anything on his own without a government handout by making him their president and now a millionaire.
He paid us back by staying the scumbag that he was. Living like a king by traveling all over the world on tax payer money and soiling our White House by turning it into a house of prostitution. He disregarded the security of our country by selling secrets for money.
Now he wants us to elect his wide-load wife so that all of this can be repeated. If America is dumb enough to do that - then they will get more of the same - and probably worse!
looks like footnotes 1, 2, 3, and ......
Good catch -- LOL!
Is it possible to look up the weather reports from that day?
"...then a thong snapped"
"... causing an airplane crash in the vicinity of the Dubrovnik airport."
"...and the reverberations were felt in the dining room of the Ritz Carlton Hotel, where a young fat girl confided to an older woman"
"... and suddenly, in Fort Marcy Park, a shot rang out."
"...then a thong snapped"
"... causing an airplane crash in the vicinity of the Dubrovnik airport."
"... Blumenthal was copying his 300th FBI file into Hillary's database when the door opened suddenly, it was that nosey bitch Linda Tripp....."
Clinton may be the worst writer to ever make $10 Million on a book.
I have a sixth grader who writes better than this!
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."
That would be an interesting project. A complete sentence by sentence, what the liberals call "deconstruction", scholarly examination of his published text. With his track record there would be enough distortions and misrememberences that obstructions of justice in current cases must certainly be affected. The only problem is the compiler would have to purchase a copy of the book to begin the parsing...
"... causing an airplane crash in the vicinity of the Dubrovnik airport."
"...and the reverberations were felt in the dining room of the Ritz Carlton Hotel, where a young fat girl confided to an older woman"
"Outside, a ferocious, feared judge passed by on his evening jog while singing religious hymns to himself."

Depends on what the meaning of "purchasing" is.
I don't know if there are internet weather records. The newspaper in Arkansas that day would have a weather report.
Pinning this down would be helpful, as "Lie from the first sentence" is a good pithy put down.
"...and the reverberations were felt in the dining room of the Ritz Carlton Hotel, where a young fat girl confided to an older woman"
"Outside, a ferocious, feared judge passed by on his evening jog while singing religious hymns to himself."
"The stench coming from a murky, almost white water in the gutter made him stop to investigate..."
"... and suddenly, in Fort Marcy Park, a shot rang out." "...then a thong snapped"
"... causing an airplane crash in the vicinity of the Dubrovnik airport."
"...and the reverberations were felt in the dining room of the Ritz Carlton Hotel, where a young fat girl confided to an older woman"
"Outside, a ferocious, feared judge passed by on his evening jog while singing religious hymns to himself."
"Meanwhile, a power mad woman gasps for breath when being told for the millionth time about her spouse's infidelity, and screams "That's IT" but is calmed down by the party leaders who offer her a Senatorial seat if she stays calm.
