There's no one like pols. The definition of double standard... you live this way, I'll do what I want. And then, cherry on top, I'll tell you exactly what to do, what is right and wrong.
Here are a couple primo examples for your consideration:

1. The Edwardses
Elizabeth Edwards:

How I Survived John's Affair

It's hard to summon people creepier than the Edwardses.
  1. She knew of the affair early on in John Edwards' presidential campaign, and threw everybody and their mother under the bus out of her own self-interest. What if this guy had gotten the nomination?!?! That's just incredible conceit and selfishness on both their parts.
  2. Oh, and the chick Edwards had the affair with... yeah, she popped out a kid. Elizabeth consoles us with her observation that the baby doesn't look like her kids. So, are you guys helping support the kid? Is John being a father to an infant? If not, why haven't you gotten a paternity test?
  3. Elizabeth tells us that the affair girl was a star-f'er. Of course, she does this on Oprah. who's f'ing who Elizabeth.
John and Elizabeth Edwards. Yuk.

2. Private School for some
President Obama, his sec of education, and other pols plan on cutting a school voucher program in Washington DC.

Great article on this amazing hypocrisy:

School Choice for the Few

That's private school for the children of President Obama, Arnie Duncan, and Senator Dick Durbin.
And crappy public school for the rest.

QOTD
"I didn't want to try to save the country's children and our educational system and jeopardize my own children's education."
- Arnie Duncan, Sec of Education on why his kid's don't go to public schools in DC
Ya get that? Arnie's saving the country's children.
Yuk again.

Do you know people like this in your personal life?
Liars. Hypocrites. Blowhards. Fame and fortune at any cost.
I don't. I think we'd shun them if we did.
school choice for all... yow, bill
