NEVER A TRUER WORD
US legislative hypocrisy encapsulated in a comment
Online poker information website operator Jay Lakin effectively summed up the hypocrisy of online horse race and state lottery betting legislative carve outs this week in an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Commenting on the exclusions from the UIGEA and other federal legislation, Lakin said that he wanted the Internet gambling ban repealed as hypocritical because it included exemptions for horse racing, state lotteries and fantasy sports but not poker.
"That's like telling me I can go into a liquor store and buy vodka, but no gin," Lakin said. "I'm just disgusted by it."
