Do as I say, not as I did

In 2002, Governor Ronnie Musgrove approved a sample ballot that placed special elections at the bottom of the ballot. The ballot was prepared by a Democratic Secretary of State.

In 2008, Governor Haley Barbour approved a sample ballot that placed special elections at the bottom of the ballot. The ballot was prepared by a Republican Secretary of State.

The difference? In 2008, Musgrove is in that special election.

"What I saw today was an absolutely lawless decision of the secretary of state and the governor," said Tim Phillips, Musgrove's campaign manager.

So when Republican Haley Barbour does exactly what Democratic Ronnie Musgrove did, it becomes a "lawless decision"? I guess Ronnie Musgrove whines we should do as he says and not as he did.
