[Continuing our series on deception in politics and public policy.] Hillary Clinton has now entered the presidential race for 2016. As the writer of a weekly piece on lying in politics, I say: Thank you, Hillary! ===== Listing all of Hillary’s lies over the years would require more space than they have here on the Internet, so I’ll focus on one from her famous interview with Matt Laure on the “Today” show, January 28, 1998. It’s just a teeny little lie, but it’s one of my favorite Hillary lies because I was the reporter who discovered it, and because it turns out now to be so little after all. If you lived through the Monica Lewinsky scandal—the frantic effort, organized by the Clintons, to cover up President Clinton’s perjury in a sexual harassment cause—you’re probably sick of all the details. If you’re too young to remember, you may not know much about it. To understand the point of this article, you need to know a few details; I’ll try to make this as painless as possible. Let’s start with a Politico story that marked the anniversary of when the Lewinsky story broke on the Drudge Report.
