Look into politicians, businessmen (like Donald Trump--I'm sure you could find something somewhere there!) or televangelists who have been caught doing something wrong.

You haven't been paying attention the last 6 years. I believe George W. Bush fills the bill on at least two of those counts. Do some research on his background, and you will find loads of hints at greed and abuse of power. Read John W. Dean's "Worse Than Watergate." It's a real eye opener.

How about Al Gore. He and his multimillionaire wife own several very large energy wasteful mansions, and he is fond of traveling around in a large energy wasteful private jet. When he needed a picture of himself in front of a river, he decided more water was needed so he instructed them to open the flood gates on the dam and wasted absolutely huge amounts of water in order to make a commercial about "conservation". If you are looking for millionaire power abusing hypocrites, the Democrat party has a lot of them.

LOOK AT GEORGE W. BUSH, if he is not a hypocrite I don't know who is. For God's sake he has lied to us all for over 6 yrs. and told all kinds of untruths about Iraq! saying our soldiers had the necessary equipment to fight that damn war to all the lies about WMD. Like Dave Chapelle says "going to get ur *** over my Daddy and he makes me sick and all the veterans that are not being taken care of --just look at Walter Reed Hospital and all that debaucle and disgrace. U do not have to look far for a modern day hypocrite--tht damn GWB

Al Gore is the perfect hypocrite and inventor of man made global warming. This hypocrite spends $1,200 per month on his 10,000 square foot home with twenty rooms and eight bathrooms while he asks you and to live "green" lifestyles. He goes through hundreds of gallons of fossil fuels with cars, toys, houses, planes, you name it. He doesn't even try to cut down even a little bit........ What a hypocrite!

Clinton of course is a good example. His integrity answers all three of your question s, and than some. He was one perfect bad example for the future generations.
