That would fall under "hypocracy" in Mike's list. Seems that archconservatives of various stripes are finding their habits exploding out of the closet and onto the national scene with interesting regularity.

In a more general sense, I see a large scale movement towards moral witch hunting. Consider recent (and baseless) accusations about drunk astronauts. Accusation = controversy = media sensationalism. Whether the allegations end up true or not, the controversy the hypermoralists want to teach has been thrust forward into the spotlight once more, and the public responds like Pavlovian wardogs. The public's emotions are whipped up into a higher level of alertness for deviance from "The Norm".
