Clinton felt he had no choice but to lie about his relationship with the former White House intern, because if he had told the truth, "the overwhelming likelihood is that I would have been forced from office."

I can't help but think about how the 'rats hero, John F. Kennedy, wrote "Profiles in Courage" about men who destroyed their own political careers in order to do what they knew to be the just and moral thing.

How far down we have come. There is now a former president who writes a book about how he lied and did what he knew was wrong in order to save his political career.
