I’ve recently been sorting through my huge stack of news articles accumulated over the years, mostly on matters of political life. I was struck by one that contained this description of a former president by someone who knew him as a younger man: “He showed pathological lying habits and was in denial when challenged on his prejudices and biases. He would even deny saying something he just said 30 seconds ago. . When asked to explain a particular comment . [he] would respond, ‘Oh, I never said that.’”
When asked to explain his position on assisting retirees and other people on fixed incomes, he said, “The government doesn’t have to help poor people – because they are lazy.”
