I've apparently used "Hypocrisy" three times in subject lines for LJ posts.

From this article
Blagojevich's actions "show a public servant who is prepared to turn public service into an avenue for private benefit," the chairwoman of the House impeachment committee, Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie, D-Chicago, said at the start of Friday's impeachment debate.

"They show a public servant who has betrayed his oath of office, who has betrayed the public trust, who is not fit to govern the state of Illinois."
Okay, let's not pretend that anyone actually becomes a politician anymore to serve the public. Certainly not at higher office. It's all about amassing power for oneself. And the only thing keeping them from running for higher office is that someone might dig up the skeletons in their closet.

Furthermore, with the history of Illinois politics, let's not pretend that THIS is what makes him unfit to govern the state of Illinois.

It's not that he did all this shit. It's not that he did it openly. What pisses all you other politicians off is that he got caught. And THAT, my friends, is the cardinal sin.
