What's Hypocrisy Daddy?
My ten year old was doing his vocabulary homework the other night and asked me for the definition of one of his assigned words, hypocrisy. After a little thought, here's what I came up with. A bunch of right wing republicans are trying to justify Bush's crimes of directing illegal wiretapping by talking about the theory of the unitary executive, which proposes that all federal executive power is vested by the Constitution in the President. That crackpot theory effectively elevates the president to the level of King in that he is not limited by the actions of the legislative or judicial branches. Here's the definition of hypocrisy...take those same republicans and take them back in time to 1992 as Clinton is assuming office and ask them their opinion on the unitary executive. And to have even more fun ask them for their same opinion if the other Clinton was ever elected president!
