1) It's not Python's fault that OS X doesn't add things to the path
when its in a framework (like Python).
2) You almost got the command right. Environment variables are set
before *any* command, including sudo.
STATIC_DEPS=true sudo easy_install lxml

That worked. (The Terminal app on my mac uses bash by default.)

Unfortunately, easy_install was not able to install lxml! Here is the
output:

I personally use Macports (it's got more stuff and more up to date
from what I've found), but compiling all those packages can take a
while especially for something with as many dependencies as Python.

Your characterization of that web page is so fraudulent that I can
only say one thing in response: You are a damn liar.
