Hypocrisy

[OnBackground]

Richard Cohen's column entitled Hollow Accountability has a paragraph that, while taken out of the context of Bush's statements regarding CBS, stands on its own:

Bush's observation to the Wall Street Journal is the deepest wisdom of a man who has always been protected from his own mistakes and failures, whether it's the oil business gone bust or a wayward youth rescued by equal measures of religion and family connections. His is the privileged view of privilege itself -- that others should do what he would not. For all his pretense of aw-shucks ordinariness, Bush's inner Yale sometimes oozes out. Some people should pay for their mistakes. Some people never have to.
