Pot, Meet Kettle

Four years ago, Alan Keyes said this about Hillary Clinton's senate run in New York (according to FoxNews):

I deeply resent the destruction of federalism represented by Hillary Clinton's willingness to go into a state she doesn't even live in and pretend to represent people there, so I certainly wouldn't imitate it.

My, how things have changed. Keyes will declare his bid for the Senate this weekend as the GOP candidate from Illinois (taking on rising Dem star Barack Obama). The only problem is that Keyes lives in Maryland and has no ties whatsoever to the state of Illinois. That can be rectified by the time of the election, of course, but apparently Keyes has no sense of irony (or shame or hypocrisy) for pulling a Hillary in this situation. Does this make him a flip-flopper?
