77. I'll use small words and type slowly just for you
Situation 1:

A public servant (school teacher) is consensually photographed (i.e.- her own Facebook page) in a position that exhibits poor judgment and MAY violate one or two rules of gun safety. She is suspended.

Situation 2:

A public servant (Senator) is consensually photographed (i.e.- her own press conference) in a position that exhibits poor judgment and DEFINITELY violates two rules of gun safety. She keeps her job.

Rather analogous situations, no? Yet strangely different outcomes. One rule for the rich and one for the poor? Or is it one rule for the gun-grabber and one for the gun-enthusiast? Either way, hypocrisy abounds, and contemporaneous discussion of the two situations is rather relevant.
