Of course it is worse to have someone who is unwilling to stand by standards apply them to others.
Do you have kids? They will peg you on it (and usually rightfully so)
I am not condoning hypocrisy. I am only objecting to hypocrisy being the gauge of whether something is tolerable in our elected leaders or not. Hypocrisy is never commendable, but neither does it have material affect on anybody or anything. Expecting our elected leaders to not be hypocritical is way down on what should be the criteria by which they are evaluated.
