I know that you believe everyone lies about sex, but at some point it would have seemed more honorable if he had told the American public his private life was irrelevant, instead of continuing to lie.

Maybe so, but we tend to give our politicians a very hard time about this stuff. Okay, it was years ago, but in the 60s Nelson Rockefeller's chances for the presidency were destroyed because he had an affair, then divorced and married his lover. What if Clinton had said, in the course of the 1992 campaign: "Well, okay, my marriage is no good, I'm getting divorced"? He'd have lost.

Until politicians feel that honesty will not necessarily prove a disastrous policy, they'll continue to lie. Or at least to evade the truth.
