OT OT To ALL: Interesting:
What is the genesis of such a man as Slick Willy? In her essay, "The Age of Envy," Ayn Rand gives us a clue. She writes of "... the child who lies too often and gets away with it. ... He learns, in effect, he can get whatever he wants not by observing facts, but by inventing them ... by manipulating the adults."

Rand describes how this child learns that "reality is the enemy ... that the truth would defeat him. ... When he becomes a man, he feels ... a sneaky sense of triumph ... he is superior since he can deceive anyone ... his means of survival is his ability to manipulate others."
