I think my hypocrisy meter just got burned out!

President Bush criticized Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards in his own home state on Wednesday by questioning whether Edwards has sufficient experience to be a heartbeat away from the presidency. Full story on Yahoo

That's right, the guy who ran for President as a first-term governor who probably couldn't have found Washington on a map criticizes Edwards for his lack of experience.

Are Bush supporters really so dense that they don't notice these double standards, or are they so self-righteous that they don't see a problem with the "standards are for judging other people, you know I'm perfect" message?

You might, for example, check out the records of the people in Congress who have voted for and against school vouchers and find out how many of them are sending their children to private schools.

Voting against vouchers while sending your own children to private school is not necessarily hypocritical. Taking the political position that private schools are evil and should be shut down entirely while sending your own kids to them would be hypocritical. Saying that the government shouldn't take money from public schools to pay for private schools doesn't conflict with choosing to spend your own money to send your own kids there.
