Greek lesson
The word "hypocrite" is an ancient Greek word used to describe an actor, someone who wore many faces or masks on stage. Etymologically speaking, today we use this word to describe a person who's actions contradict their professed beliefs ... like perhaps, a former head of a state's faith-based initiatives program getting busted for promoting prostitution.

Hmmm...I just thought it was a synonym for Republican. Who knew?
Unfortunately, this guy worked under a Democratic Governor ... he was probably on our team. Gah.
Other news said that he was working for the Department of Corrections or something like that. I guess he will see both sides.
Some report said another person arrested was a sexual abuse counselor.
Hmmmmmmmmm
Both are correct Anonymous. The person this story, Robert McFadden, when arrested worked for the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. Also arrested was a sex-abuse case worker with the Franklin County Children Services.
Disgusting all around.
