I suppose at one time or another we are all guilty of hypocrisy, but we are less likely to accept it from politicians. Here are a few of the latest examples I have noticed.
1. The Republicans are calling the stimulus bill a Democrat porkapalooza. By some estimates, only 12% is stimulus and the rest is pork destined for Democrat special interest groups (including the highly suspicious group ACORN). OK, so for the Republicans, if it is such a bad stimulus bill now, why wasn't it a bad stimulus bill a month ago when Bush was president?
2. During the campaign, Obama claimed "We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times . . . and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK." OK, then why does Obama keep the Oval Office warm enough to grow orchids (David Axelrod: "You could grow orchids in there.") I guess Obama meant your home, not his.
3. Gorebal Warming: Al Gore has made a living at fear mongering about global warming. He has a huge home that uses three times the amount of electricity than the average American home. He jets around the world (often in private jets) without the slightest care about his carbon footprint. Recently, he bought a 100-foot houseboat complete with a gas-guzzling hugely-polluting jet ski. He says the houseboat runs on bio diesel and that he will be adding solar panels, so he has named his boat "Bio Solar 1" (or BS-1, for short). Again, I guess Gore is concerned about your carbon footprint, but not his own.

All three are fair examples. Dems are now calling Repubs obstructionist. Uummm, the opposite was the case just two years ago when the nuclear option was on the table to counter filibuster capabilities. Both parties are whistling out of the other sides of their mouths now.
