I think most if not all Presidents have lied to the public. Eisenhower did over the U2 flights, for example. But a flat out, unambiguous lie concerning the President's personal conduct, without national security type reasons, etc., I think will not be something any future President will want to do. It is absurd to not recognize that Clinton has suffered horribly from all this. So has the country. Which I think is partly Clinton's fault. He never should have done it. And partly Starr's fault. He never should have pursured it. At least once the Vernon Jordan vast conspiracy angle came a cropper. And partly the presses fault. They never should have been such willing and easy stooges of the Jones lawyers. And partly the Jones federal judge's fault. She never should have let the Jones lawyers ask about so remote an issue as Lewinsky, under the nieve notion that in this case, with such high political stakes, and the complicity of the press, that her orders would be obeyed.
