A Talent for Hypocrisy

It is interesting that Senator Talent decided to return $3,000 in campaign donations from indicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff. According to his spokesman the money was returned because ‘…the evidence on its face strongly suggests that he’s guilty of something.’ At the same time Senator Talent is keeping $5,000.00 given by indicted Tom DeLay’s PAC and does not plan to return this money because "He’s not ready to presume (DeLay’s) innocent (and) he’s not ready to presume he’s guilty. He wants to give the process a chance." Apparently Senator Talent picks and chooses what cases are allowed to have the benefit of being decided by a court of law and has already decided upon the innocence and guilt of the individuals in both cases. Does this strike anyone else as a classic example of hypocrisy?
