Huju: Exactly the opposite. The term “political hypocrisy” is a bit of an oxymoron. All politicians have some standard deviation between their “stated” positions and their words and actions. We’ve had a long-history of “pro-life” politicians voting against funding for a wide range of critical health and supplemental food assistance programs which unquestionably are matters of life/death to the most vulnerable populations. We have an even longer history of “green” politicians flying around in private jets, living in huge energy-efficient homes, and driving low-mileage cars. The only difference is one of degree.
In some cases, having a politician out-of-town during a major weather even is a net POSITIVE to the local population since it allows the professionals to do their job w/o political interference.
