There's nothing unusual in politicians lying about how ever so 'umble they are. To take one well known example, Margaret Thatcher's father was not a humble grocer, but the owner of a chain of greengrocers, a prominant and powerful local politician for almost two decades (serving as Mayor in the mid '40's) and the head of a very long list of local interest groups and organisations, including the local Chamber of Commerce. And that's not even an especially extreme case. Jimmy Carter was no son of the soil either.
