True and fitting -- Hypocrisy is the homage which vice renders to virtue -- but it's La Rochefoucauld, not Wilde, who also wrote famous words on the subject:

I hope you have not been leading a double life, pretending to be wicked and being really good all the time. That would be hypocrisy.

-- The Importance of Being Earnest.

Perhaps this from La Rochefoucauld would also play well to this article:

If we had no faults of our own, we should not take so much pleasure in noticing those in others.

BigB: I wonder if this thread might not qualify for one of your REPUBLICAN PARTY REPTILE pings... LOL!
