YES, as the saying goes: For every Rule there can be exception(s) --- BUT that exception is only valid if you can explain with logic, reason, common-sense, why you are making it; otherwise it is just #HYPOCRISY!

See Buzzsprout podcasts Transcript for full Show Notes (including related links) and Transcript Bonus
#PrinciplesNotPersonalities - it should be a simple concept, but sadly many (both Left and Right) are more "rah rah" my guy/gal whatever rather than be honest/true to self and uphold their own "supposed" set of Principles/Values. Remember the recent CTP "Speculations and What If's" episode? Well, can/do you pass the "Show on the other Foot" test "What if" or are a hypocrite (which, of course, is not to say for every "Rule" there can be an occasional "exception" but if everything is allowed be "exception" you really have no Rules/Principles/Values/Standards)? Some eager to be "hypocrites" if it is for "their guy/gal" benefit. And #Kamalot, she is NOT (trying all style and fluff and zero principles/values/substance Campaign) there-in.
