:The fact that he admitted it was in poor taste, yet insisted it was still funny and showed no remorse for doing so makes it hypocricy <nowiki>[sic]</nowiki>. [[User:RobS|Rob Smith]] 15:51, 19 August 2007 (EDT)

I looked up hypocrisy, and it means, "a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not; especially : the false assumption of an appearance of virtue or religion." He nowhere says that what he did was nice, while pretending it wasn't; nor does he say that what he said was funny, but believes it wasn't. He was an a--, and a real jerk, but not a hypocrite. Conflating various bad traits isn't a very appealing trait, yourself.-[[User:Baruch|Baruch]] 16:04, 19 August 2007 (EDT)

::The subtle difference between a hypocrite and your average run-of-the-mill liar is that when the hypocritical behavior is exposed the hypocrite generally has no idea that they have been engaging in behavior that6 '''is''' hypocritical. That is the whole point to being a hypocrite; being blind to one's own misdeeds, or contradictory behavior. [[User:Samwell|Samwell]] 16:40, 19 August 2007 (EDT)
