Phony outrage over Kerry calling Bill Clinton out on his lies
Advertisements [?]
Bill chooses to lie. No one has a God-given right to lie: not Bush, not Bill Clinton. Clinton chose to lie about Obama. He must expect that Obama and others will call him on it.

John Kerry was right, and yet the outrage, phony or twisted, is directed at Kerry. It implies that Kerry should respect Bill Clinton's right to lie.

Well, newsflash: Bill lies. (video)

Bill's statement:

President Clinton today admitted for the first time that he intentionally misled the government and the public about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky.

<...>

"I tried to walk a fine line between acting lawfully and testifying falsely, but I now recognize that I did not fully accomplish that goal and that certain of my responses to questions about Ms. Lewinsky were false," Clinton said in a written statement read by Press Secretary Jake Siewert.

In an agreement reached with Independent Counsel Robert Ray, Clinton agreed to pay a $25,000 fine and not to seek compensation for attorneys' fees he paid during the investigation. The agreement also ends a bid by the Arkansas Bar Association to disbar the president.

Bill lies. Get used to it!

Here is how Senator Kerry responded when put in a difficult situation, defending a president who lies

Bill's lies are part of his legacy. Trashing Kerry doesn't change that.

Clinton sought Kerry's endorsment for Hillary, which he didn't get because Kerry believes it's Obama's time.

That's not going to change.
