A hypocrite is someone who doesn't practice what they preach. A hypocrite is someone who promotes something while contradicting it by their actions.

A hypocrite is a fig tree that looks like it has fruit but is barren. Under Old Testament laws trees were planted so branches would extend beyond fences, then someone on a long hot desert walk could have refreshment, the anticipation of a sweet fruit would look good, but upon arrival it would have nothing to offer. It was called hypocrite! I guess a hypocrite is someone that promises something good but doesn't deliver.

A conservative think tank accused Mr. Al Gore of contributing 20 times the amount of CO2 than the average American. Apparently, he spends about $20,000 - $30,000.00 per year on utilities alone. Is that an inconvenient truth?
President George W. Bush claims to be a Christian, but distorts the truth (like most politicians) and may have condoned torture of prisoners. Can we say WMD anyone?

A person who says that one should or should not do something, and then does it him/herself.
A classic example: A christian who says it is wrong to drink and then at some point later, has a glass of wine.

People at work who preach "teamwork" - everyone is there for their own paycheck to support themselves or their own family. If someone has the choice of whether to advance themselves or be a team player.... I think you know the answer to that one!
