This is one of the first things taught in Republican 101. Lie, Lie and Lie again. And when you're caught in a lie, lie your way out of it. Even if the truth is as handed to you, in your own words, printed in YOUR book in black and white, change the subject, say you don't recall, say ANYTHING, do ANYTHING just DON'T even think about admitting that you lied. It's worked well for them for years so why change the playbook now? Is anyone really surprised by this?
