It's been interesting to see the change in politicians' opinions about lying when Democratic leaders lined up to condemn New York Rep. Anthony Weiner — a judgment with which I am in total agreement, by the way. Even The Sun's editorial "Heat makes you stupid" (June 9) pointed out that "the lying is unforgivable."
So where were you in 1998 when President Bill Clinton lied to the American public using legal mumbo jumbo to cover up his affair with Monica Lewinsky? He got away with lying to congressional investigators because no Democratic senators would vote to convict him.
If the current trend persists, we had better brace for a lot of recall elections because I doubt many politicians will pass the no-lying test.
