Hypocrisy Run Amok

March 26th, 2009

Bobby Jindal:

Jindal described the premise of the question — “Do you want the president to fail?” — as the “latest gotcha game” being perpetrated by Democrats against Republicans.

“Make no mistake: Anything other than an immediate and compliant, ‘Why no sir, I don’t want the president to fail,’ is treated as some sort of act of treason, civil disobedience or political obstructionism,” Jindal said at a political fundraiser attended by 1,200 people. “This is political correctness run amok.”

Yeah. Because under the Bush administration, no such show of support for the president would ever have been deman… um… oh.

Difficult to see how Republicans could be more startlingly hypocritical. During the Bush administration, a Democrat who dared criticize the president while troops were on the ground was called a traitor. Now, with a Democrat in the White House, Republicans are unabashedly not only criticizing the president while troops are on the ground, but they are openly stating that they hope he will fail–and then railing at anyone who dares criticize them for it.

Stunning.
