Mark Steel: You couldn’t make it up…

Mark Steel:

Because someone who routinely lies like she [Hillary Clinton] does, then dismisses it as a consequence of the number of words she says has severe psychological problems. Perhaps her disorder is a result of the sort of politician she is. Like Blair, neither she nor Bill stand for anything – priding themselves in being tied to no “ideology”. So a normal politician might set out with a set of principles, then lie as they compromise and betray them. But a Blair or Clinton is a politician with no purpose but their own standing, like celebrities who are nothing but celebrities. So they say whatever they feel will make them look best to the audience they’re with, regardless of whether it’s true, until they probably don’t know themselves what’s real and what’s not.

A lot of politicians seem just like that, except they don’t tell such whoppers in one go. They tell lots and lots of little one.

Where am I?
