POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK.
"The pot calling the kettle black" refers to criticism that could equally apply to the critic and not a racist slur. Gingrich attacking Romney on lies is a liar himself.

I believe that Newt Gingrich is a liar! This House speaker should step down. We constantly stress honesty in life; unfortunately this man believed his own agenda was more important than the image of the office. How can we expect our children, whom Newt purports to care about, to be honest with their government or even themselves when a government leader is a liar and most likely a tax cheat.
To make matters worse, major Republican allies are whitewashing the entire episode. Are these leaders implying that lying while in a leadership position is OK? Are these leaders showing by example how to avoid meeting the obligations of a position, and spin a tale so that the truth is not a necessary element?
