All sizzle, no steak

National | Clinton deceptions a feast, but the media aren't hungry | Cal Thomas

The anger some Republicans feel about President Clinton's stealing their economic and social ideas in a blitzkrieg of deception is now heard from the lips of members of Congress in private conversation. After the dinner honoring Billy Graham for receiving the Congressional Gold Medal-where Mr. Clinton made an appearance, praising Mr. Graham and speaking of his own relationship to God-a Republican senator who attended the event told me, "Bill Clinton is the biggest liar I have ever heard." In Washington, that is quite a distinction.

The evidence favors the senator's view. President Clinton has not only governed opposite what candidate Clinton promised, but throughout his term he also has frequently demonstrated intellectual and political irregularity. In fact, Mr. Clinton changes faster than the seasons, faster even than the time of day.
