Re: Whether a president who happens to be a Dem would lie?

I never had sexual relations with that woman — Miss Lewinsky: Clinton, a Democrat

Gulf Tonkin incident: LBJ, another Democrat

Read my lips...oh wait, that was a Republican. And W's Daddy.

Politicians lie, it's in their nature not their party.

So a man that is respected by his peers in the media for his honesty and integrity will turn into a liar by the very nature of the job. I guess that makes Joe Lockhart and Mike McCurry a couple of liars also. If not this is just partisan Bush bashing.

That covers presidents. We’re talking about a press secretary here.

I think what he will say - is what he knows - which may not always be the truth. There are some things that we don't know. It's called National Security. Not always a bad thing. Can't fault a guy for doin his job well. He knows what the job is and has spent much time on the other side. I wish him well.
