I’m sure Eric didn’t mean that because that would be dumb. We have already demonstrated to everyone who can read, present company excepted of course, that Bush presented nothing more than that conventional wisdom shared by everyone else including a prominent female Democrat running for office at the present time. Also, it would be dumb to accept the one-sided negative reports of certain Leftist publications as presenting an accurate view of how well the Nation-Building is going. Eric, not being dumb, wouldn’t have meant either of those things.
He probably referred to the lies Clinton made under oath to – heck I can’t remember who he was under oath to – in the days when he swore “I never had sex with that woman.” And then other lies about other women – unless you assume that those other women were lying about him. Heck, he would have kept insisting that he never had sex with that woman Monica had there not been overwhelming evidence that he did – unlike with the other women who said he engaged in untoward actions toward them where it would have been he said/she said had he been put under oath again.
But then, who knows. Maybe voicing conventional wisdom that turns out to be false is a lie, but lying under oath to congress (or whomever) is merely a “mistake” (“mistake” defined as “getting caught”) since there is no longer anything that is true or false, right or wrong, and logic is a thing of the past.

When you say liar like Clinton, you mean, like, he lied to get us into a war? Then he lied that the war was going well? Is that what you mean?
