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 that '''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)
:::Doesn't seem to me that Clooney did either. He said his joke was in poor taste, but still funny. I think it was neither, but that's not a hypocritical statement, just a jerky one.-[[User:Baruch|Baruch]] 16:43, 19 August 2007 (EDT)
