What is the latest slang for hypocrite?

If anyone asks you what the new slang word for hypocrite is, just tell them the answer: New York Times. The truth of this really hit me this morning when I happened to see the front page of the Sunday Times. Right there in the center of the front page above the fold (the most important article placement of the week) is a lengthy piece about how Mitt Romney's Mormon faith shapes his views. Let me add that I did not bother to read the article, I do not care what it says. The point is a different one. Earlier this past week, the same New York Times nearly had an hysterical meltdown over the possibility that a super Pac that favors Romney might actually run ads about president Obama's 20 year attendence at reverend Wright's church in Chicago. Voters were to be told in these ads about Wright's perverted theology and its effect on Obama. The Times was outraged. This was inappropriate. It was racist. It was all bad things rolled up in one. So, in the same week the Times thought it a major moral failing to discuss Obama's religious background, it published for its most prominent story of the week an expose about Mitt Romney's religious background.

To anyone out there who still buys the New York Times, I suggest that you stop. This is not a newspaper. It is a left wing propaganda machine that is completely devoid of principles.
