[See NewsBusters for more.] Well, that’s convenient. Donald Trump’s habit of not telling the truth has led CBS to reassess Bill Clinton’s fondness for lying to the country and those close to him.  On Wednesday’s Late Show, Stephen Colbert began by insisting that NOW lies are really troublesome for a president: “No one really looks to Donald Trump to say like, "Oh, well I expect him to be truthful.... We’re grading lies on a scale.”  CBS This Morning co-host John Dickerson was Colbert’s guest and he mentioned Bill Clinton’s history of distortion: “We should still think that our president should tell us the truth about things. And when they don't, whether it's Bill Clinton or Donald Trump or anybody else, we should say that's a big deal.”
