>Have you ever worked for a corporation? Made a sales pitch? If so, did you lay out ALL the facts to the prospective customer?<

I do not have time to address the entire post, but I will tell you this: making a sales pitch is quite different than testifying before a court of law.

>Emphasize and make certain the customer was at least as fully aware of the negatives and shortcomings of your product or deal as he was of the positive aspects? If you didn't, isn't that also a form of falsehood?<

I guess I can say I have made hundreds of sales pitches, and I cannot recall lying in any of them. This is not to say I have not lied at all, however, but that the things I have said about a "product" I really believed. Of course there were facts that I did not tell the consumer, but not to harm him. I didn't mention them because I thought them irrelevant. Often times, I would even forget to tell the consumer good things about the product. I didn't lie, and I didn't withhold information with malicious intent.

Clinton did lie and he did not lie in an average way. He lied and lied, and slipped and dashed, and wagged his finger and squirmed, and continues to tell us things the likes of which would be insulting to the intelligence of a nitwit, this, all to avoid telling the simple truth. I have never ever done this-not ever.

How it is you are not insulted by the man, is simply beyond me.
