Most politicians think they are special snowflakes. Sometimes prudence dictates a departure from a particular policy. In fact, government administrators who apply a blanket policy blindly without considering the circumstances of a particular case can have their decision quashed by the Courts. Yes, it is hypocritical. Yes, he should not receive any specail treatment because of his position. But it is a case of prudence won out, as it usually does. Welcome to the real world. Where, by the way, Hachette authors are not special snowflakes.
