Don't you know that consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds? Our social and intellectual betters are exempt and thus immune from the consequences of such mundane considerations as restrict the more base inclinations of lesser mortals.

It's a clear case of noblesse oblige. Now, now, keep in mind it’s only corrupt if Republicans do it. Don’t you know that consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds?
