Sarah Palin: hypocrisy and meta-hypocrisy
She says Michelle Obama should get out of people's business about obesity. But what about Bristol's abstinence nonsense? I guess that's ok because Bristol's pregnant and Michelle is not obese?

"I know you're all about that abstinence thing, but come on, B-Palin, are you serious?," The Situation asks. "You're not gonna hook up before you're married? For real?"

"For real," the 20-year-old mom insists before launching into a discussion about the importance of safe sex.
