Apropos En Passant

Is there no place sacred?  Bill, on holy ground:

"I didn't come here to ask you to vote for my wife," said Clinton, addressing the congregation at Church of the Pentacostal in Asheville, N.C. "I came here to ask you to pray for her."

Political Radar: Bill Clinton Asks N.C. Churchgoers to Pray for Hillary

I didn't come here to ask you to vote for my wife.  That is an untruth.  It isn't like Bill woke up Sunday morning, coincidentally two days before an election in which his wife just happened to be involved, finding himself against all odds in North Carolina, where said election by some odd chance was occurring, realizing his wife was standing in the need of prayer.

True, it is not the most outrageous lie ever told, certainly not by Bill Clinton.  Indeed one might argue it is simply a rhetorical device.  Depends on what the meaning of is is.
