I admit only one fault. I am not hypocritical in calling everyone else hypocritical, thus making me super-awesome. Is that hypocritical? I need a hypocrite; for, as we all know, it takes one to know one.

As I continue looking at answers, I began to look at the word hypocritical. Now from what I remember, hypo- means a slowing down of something. Hypo-thermia deals with a lower temperature, hypo-thyroidism deals with slow thyroid gland and a slowing of the metabolism.
Critical is defined at dictionary.com as meaning "inclined to find fault or to judge with severity, often too readily."
So wouldn't hypocritical mean that the person would be slow to be find fault or judge with severity. So if one were to look at my question with this "new definition" in mind, wouldn't that make my question "hypocritical" in the current sense of the word.
Or did I just blow your mind. Cause I think I just thought myself to a whole new level. Hyp to be squa' in the nuts (for you South Park fans, like myself).
