DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO

Three stories in today’s news–none of them the type of story I would normally write about–illustrate a common theme. The first is from Britain, where eco-crusaders Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are being accused of hypocrisy for repeatedly zipping back and forth to Nice on a private jet.

Meanwhile, Prince William booked his family on a £73 commercial flight to Scotland, in what is viewed as a rebuke of his younger brother. But why be hard on Prince Harry? When the world’s leading global warming alarmists gather in ritzy locales to vote on rules that no one will follow, they burn up a lifetime’s worth of CO2 just getting there.

Then there is Barack Obama. “At a certain point you’ve made enough money.” “You didn’t build that.” “There’s only so big a house you can have.” It turns out, though, that the Obamas haven’t yet reached those limits. Barack and Michelle have bought a $14.85 million estate on Martha’s Vineyard from the owner of the Boston Celtics. This is not, of course, their only home, but most of us would find it more than adequate:

The Obama's new digs...

Like Brazilians, Indians and others in developing countries, most Americans have figured out that when Obama said, “At a certain point you’ve made enough money,” he was talking about you, not him. And, as Glenn Reynolds wrote, when Obama said–just last year!–“There’s only so big a house you can have,” he meant you. Not him.

Hypocritters.

[Oldexpat]

Grifters and thieves. They don’t worry about their image cause the msm loves them. He ghosts a couple books,taps Netflix for a few million and buys another mansion by the sea. Pigs all of them.

[RatRipper]

There goes the neighborhood. . . .

[KittyKares]

Progressives want the good life for themselves and reward each other with cushy jobs.

I guess they’re not too worried about climate change, being that close to the ocean.
