Hoist with his own petard

It seems that Schadenfreude is one of the few pleasures still legal. And I got an especially enjoyable dose on hearing that Labour MP Eric Joyce, who only a few days ago had been banging on David Nutt-style about how the middle classes were hypocrites for condemining drug use amongst their offspring while happily jugging back alcohol, has been banned from driving for refusing a breath test. God knows how he got into that situation, but I can’t say I have the remotest drop of sympathy. People in glass houses, and all that...

The phrase "poetic justice" does come to mind. As to how he got into that situation, presumably he's as hypocritical as those he accused of being so.

I drink and I drive ~ just never in that order. He was banned for speeding 2 years ago, so he's not been a good lad. I wonder whether he came out with the immortal line, "Don't you know who I am?"
