政客因为不喜欢任何人但又害怕在下次选举中落选而撒谎。

The politician lies because he dislikes everyone - and because he is afraid of losing the next election.

政客常撒谎，大家都一样。

Politicians frequently lie. So does everyone else.

补遗：顺便说一句，道歉时维纳先生说了些作为政客从不会说的话，他承认他撒谎了，还是做到了坦白直率的。

Addendum: Mr Weiner, by the way, also gets points for straightforwardness by using a word politicians never use when they apologise: he said he "lied".
