Hypocrisy Watch: Santorum

Rick Santorum is getting his kids' charter school tuition paid by a district in which he doesn't live. Abuse of process, misdirection of public funds, flaunting the law....

I recently discovered an interesting acronym: IOKIYAR, which stands for "It's OK If You're A Republican." In other words, it's shorthand for hypocrisy by the current party in power. I will say, and this is one of the reasons why Hypocrisy Watch is a feature here, the present Republican Party seems uniquely incapable of self-examination and self-correction. Perhaps because it's modern roots come not from Lincoln, but from the Dixiecrats, a group which prefered political treachery to evolution.
