A double standard is calling Clinton a habitual liar but condoning George W. Bush.

Same thing implying one way for self and in a different way for others. Like when you don't like people throwing dust on roads and when in urgency or in some circmustances you doing the same and justifying your self you have done it because of the circumustances. Is it OK with you?

When something is okay for one person to do, but not another. A good example is marriage. Heterosexuals are allowed to marry, whereas gays are not. This is a double standard because it is okay for one population (heteros) to do something (get married), but it is not allowed for another population (gays) to do the same thing.
