What a Terrible Lack of Judgement

[Papewaio]

English has many exceptions to the rule. Lemur was stating one of his.

For instance:

I'm a bigot of bigots, but not a bigot of bigots of bigots.

Figure that one out at your leisure.

A hypocrite would be going to Halloween parties as an KKK member and then saying what the Penn State students did was wrong. Hypocrisy assumes that you tell others not to do on moral grounds what you then do as well. I wouldn't call a expert in a field telling newbies not to do something he does without proper training a hypocrite... although in a literal interpretation would have you end there.
