Hypocrite of the week...

goes to The New York Post.

Yesterday, they ran two main stories on their front page. The bottom third of the front cover ripped Democratic mayoral frontrunner Fernando Ferrer for campaigining on Sunday (Sept. 11). The tabloid objects to the infusion of politics (by a Democrat) on such an occasion. 9/11 is a somber anniversary that should be solely devoted to the memory of the victims and not something tawdry.

The top two-thirds of the front cover was a giant ad for a scratch-off game that the Post is running to sell more papers.
