Hypocrisy is saying one thing and doing another.

I can see that if you're advocating a Family Values platform whilst diddling around with people on the side. Hell...the Republicans have made a mockery of their own family values positions via this behaviour.

But where is the hypocrisy when it comes to Spitzer? His particular "crusade" has been against the malfeasance of Wall Street's practices...not their family values.

hyposcrisy?  Oh come on!  He framed himself as a champion of ethical behavior.  He took marriage vows.  No hypocrisy?  LOL!

of the little guy against Wall Street's abuses and so on. He was not a champion of bedroom morality.

As for personal hypocrisy and breaking marriage vows, I'm not sure that's my business now anymore than it is when a non-public servant does the same. It's his...and his family's.

It's salacious for sure.

But as someone who has not always followed the straight and narrow when it comes to living, I'm not willing to cast the first or second or third stone. Are you?

this jerk has been party to untold prosecutions of prostitution charges.

I'd have a hard time finding a bigger hypocrite.
