The Stink That Won't Flush

Excrement That Will Not Flush In his book Carl Bernstein writes that White House adviser George Stephanopoulos described Hillary Clinton's responses to the White House Travel Office case, and other scandals, as "Jesuitical lying."  That left a  a lot of people scratching their heads. There were a million guesses over what that meant; mine is that Stepho used jesuitical lying in lieu of the more direct Clinton Speak, meaning Bill &Hill  perfected the use of constructs that deceived without lying.  You're familiar with it. "I don't believe you'll find evidence of that" "Then why did famous Professor of [insert discipline]  Bruno Schmutz write that it was "utterly brilliant."? "You know Barbara, I'm not even going to answer that stale accusation.  It was dismissed years ago" "I don't think there's any record of that Bernie." Hey, what's that?  Over there?" *swoosh* Add  Pharisaical   to  Jesuitical and you're getting close, but still not quite there.  Take Travelgate.  Hillary lied under oath to investigators, saying she had nothing to do with the Travel Office firings.  At the same time, longtime Clinton aide David Watkins was singing like a canary to the FBI, detailing Hillary's lead role (click for full PDF transcript).. When Independent Counsel Robert Ray issued his final report on Travelgate, he found that that Hillary Clinton had made factually false statements but there was insufficient evidence to prosecute her.  How many times has this happened in the past 15 years?  It's still happening. This is why half the country says they will not vote for her in any circumstance.  Hell, O.J. Simpson is only "Hillary Lite."
