As I always say, to paraphrase Capt Renault in Casablanca, I'm shocked, shocked.

Well, I guess it all hinges on two factors: truth versus memory and guts versus balls.
The first one centers on this point (posted on Linda's blog a coupla days ago):
Being a successful liar requires a tremendous memory for details. Really good liars, particularly politicians, know this and speak in generalities and platitudes, avoiding the trap of giving details which then must be carefully remembered.
The problem most liars ultimately have to deal with is that they have difficulty believing anyone else. What I’ve realized through observation of politics over the past 50 years or so is that the American public actually WANTS to be lied to and votes for the most bold liars, assiduously avoiding candidates who try to promulgate the truth because it sounds suspicious to them.
Apparently what we learn to do in a successful life is be gentle with the mild, clever with the crafty, straightforward to the genuine, brusque to the hooligans, patient with the slow, magnanimous to the wealthy, and flexible with the politicians while somehow managing to preserve our own sense of morals, ethics, and dignity, poor players who fret and strut their hours upon the stage telling tales to idiots and not signifying one hell of a lot.
The second point is illustrated by this shade of difference:
GUTS - is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: 'Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?'
BALLS - is coming home late after a night out with the guys,
smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the butt and having the balls to say: 'You're next.'
I think these guys are mostly in the early stages of Alzheimer's and forgot where they left BOTH their balls and their guts. -
