Hillary Clinton arrived at the Democrat Party headquarters and told the man at the desk she wanted to become their next candidate for President. He ushered her into a room with all the head honchos responsible for deciding who would get the go-ahead. They asked her questions about her policies on economics, education, health, foreign affairs, industrial relations. They had a group of ordinary citizens come and hear her speak then say what they thought of her. They said she was intelligent, businesslike, seemed competent, really she had everything they wanted. “Only one concern was raised by the focus group”, said the Democrat honcho.
“What’s that?”, aked Hillary.
“They’re a bit concerned about how much you seem to lie. We’d like you to take a lie detector test, if that’s okay with you”.
Hillary acquiesced and she was asked a series of questions to test her honesty. When the results came back, the honcho looked at her with a grim face.
“These results show that you lied on 100% of the questions,” said the honcho.
“Oh,” said Hillary, concerned.
The honcho looked her in the eye and said “Congratulations. You’ve got the job”.
