    I'm betting Norway will drop another Nobel prize, mostly bc they've already shown us they have a wicked sense of humor in such regards. Technically that makes him a hypocrite of the worse malicious kind. But really if you listened to his speeches of the time, he made it clear his contempt in signing any such thing. But it's what the public and masses demanded.

    The issue really isn't hypocrisy. Bc we're all hypocrites. It's if what our leaders are doing is with our best intentions in mind.

    THAT is more of how politics should be approached in my insanely intellectual opinion. Don't get your ideals from ONE news source read them all before you start casting stones. But remember when your casting the "hypocrite" stone at someone I like the analogy, if only for it's lure witty and crudeness of Bentham's allusion to gas.

    No one likes gas emitting from another person I apologize to that significant other and my family. You may have been victimized.

But, as David Runciman suggests, it is actually much more cynical to pretend that politics can ever be completely sincere. The most dangerous form of political hypocrisy is to claim to have a politics without hypocrisy.

    Political Hypocrisy: The Mask of Power, from Hobbes to Orwell and Beyond

    Political Hypocrisy is a timely, and timeless, book on the problems of sincerity and truth in politics, and how we can deal with them without slipping into hypocrisy ourselves. Runciman tackles the problems through lessons drawn from some of the great truth-tellers in modern political thought--Hobbes, Mandeville, Jefferson, Bentham, Sidgwick, and Orwell--and applies his ideas to different kinds of hypocritical politicians from Oliver Cromwell to Hillary Clinton. Runciman argues that we should accept hypocrisy as a fact of politics, but without resigning ourselves to it, let alone cynically embracing it.

    We should stop trying to eliminate every form of hypocrisy, and we should stop vainly searching for ideally authentic politicians.
