Chutzpah

The old definition of chutzpah was someone who murders his parents and then throws himself on the mercy of the court because he's an orphan.

We may have a new winner. You know, I could take a few paragraphs and explain why, but maybe it's just best to reprint a few lines from this Reuters story in its pristine beauty:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Joseph Wilson, the husband of outed CIA operative Valerie Plame, called on Thursday for an inquiry by The Washington Post into the conduct of journalist Bob Woodward, who repeatedly criticized the leak investigation without disclosing his own involvement.

"It certainly gives the appearance of a conflict of interest. He was taking an advocacy position when he was a party to it," Wilson said.
