Most of us are hypocrites in regards to one issue or another, to a greater or lesser degree. The only question is: is it about something sufficiently significant and to a such a degree as to be entertaining for others to seek to mock us? =P
I'll freely admit that I'm a hypocrite in some regards...but I don't have a congregation of 26,000 being influenced by my word. People who are in positions like that have a higher obligation to act with integrity than others (yet they are the people who do so least often, it seems).

Or the media picks up on it, because sex sells.
Also he is denying the allegations, or maybe in denial it is hard to tell these days.

I never said otherwise, to do so would be...hypocritical...(sorry couldn't help it). But seriously, i get almost as outraged by the hypocritical antics of people with whom I generally agree.
The reason why there is so much backlash when a right-winger/social conservative does something like this is b/c they claim to be the party of morals. They try and legislate morality on the one hand while on the other they're out cheating on their wives or gayin it up (or both). This obviously is not the case with every right wing/christian/social conservative, but enough of them have done it for me to not believe anything that comes out of their mouths...ever.
