Blatant political hypocrisy - caught in the act

I don't often dive into political fights, but I had to point this out. It's rare to see such a blatant display of hypocrisy.

Keith Olbermann is MSNBC's political commentator, and an open supporter of Democratic candidates. On yesterday's program, referencing attacks on Michelle Obama, he said:

It's not an unreasonable request. To ask that personal attacks against the wife of a candidate, as part of a misguided strategy to torpedo a political campaign, be off limits.

Yet just last month he said this, of the Republican candidate's wife:

So Cindy, your husband is running a fully negative campaign. He's a flaming fraud. And if you think he's clean, so are you! Cindy McCain, today's "worst person in the world"!

A little background, which largely smacks of hypocrisy as well: Olbermann was (not surprisingly) simply echoing his favorite candidate's talking points. Barack Obama is upset that people are criticizing his wife, and claming this should be off-limits for discussion. Problem is, people aren't criticizing her personally, but her statements she made on behalf of her husband while stumping for his Presidential campaign. You can't have it both ways, and Obama should be mature enough to know this; you can't send out a representative to speak for you and then declare anything they say to be "off limits" to criticism.
