The supposed hypocrisy of this one man simply isn't an important matter. Either the message he's delivering is right or its wrong -- if it's right and he's too self-indulgent to curb his behavior accordingly, that doesn't subtract one bit from it being right. So why the obsessive right-wing focus on that trivial aspect of the story? The answer, of course, is that they prefer smearing individuals to talking about actual issues. It's the nature of the modern American right -- the only ammunition it has left are the "politics of personal destruction."
