Can We Call them Hypocrites?

Next time a big time politician tells you what to drive, what light bulb to use, or what temperature to set the thermostat, consider the recent doings of the lovely Hillary Clinton:

Thursday afternoon: Clinton boards a Gulfstream II jet from Washington DC to Orangeburg, SC for a debate.
Thursday evening: Clinton takes the same Gulfstream back to DC.
Thursday evening: the Gulfstream returns to South Carolina empty to await Hillary!
Friday morning: Clinton hops aboard a Hawker 800 back down to Greenville, SC.
Friday morning: The Hawker is abandoned in Greenville, and the Gulfstream II ferries her highness to Columbia.
Friday afternoon: The Gulfstream II is rejected and traded in for a Gulfstream III, because Hillary! prefers the cabin configuration.

The subsequent weekend was spent jet-hopping from San Diego to San Jose to Reno to Van Nuys and finally "home" to NY. Then this:
Clinton, who has warned against global warming from the stump and hyped the need for alternative energy such as ethanol, burned through thousands of gallons of jet fuel swooping along the campaign trail - and it's not clear why she sent an empty plane to wait for her in South Carolina then flew a different jet from Washington the next day.
