Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, doesn’t like being exposed by his own search engine. Google has no objections to tracking and keeping records of everything you do, but don’t you dare reveal any information on the Google folks. Eric Schmidt is livid.

This story is full of irony and has inadvertently revealed a glaring double standard. It is the double standard of the liberal leaning CEO of Google. It is no secret that Google political contributions weigh in a decidely liberal direction.

CNet News reporter, Elinor Mills did a little search on Google…

Google CEO Eric Schmidt doesn’t reveal much about himself on his home page.

But spending 30 minutes on the Google search engine lets one discover that Schmidt, 50, was worth an estimated $1.5 billion last year. Earlier this year, he pulled in almost $90 million from sales of Google stock and made at least another $50 million selling shares in the past two months as the stock leaped to more than $300 a share.

He and his wife Wendy live in the affluent town of Atherton, Calif., where, at a $10,000-a-plate political fund-raiser five years ago, presidential candidate Al Gore and his wife Tipper danced as Elton John belted out “Bennie and the Jets.”

Schmidt is so upset he won’t speak to anyone from CNet News for a whole year. So much for freedom of the press. I wonder how Schmidt feels about freedom of the internet?

That’s not too hard to know. Google routinely blocks ads and searches it deems to be politically incorrect.

I wonder how Eric Schmidt feels about Supreme Court nominee John Roberts’ adopted kids being harassed by the NY Times?

It seems like the liberal Schmidt doesn’t adhere to the adage, “What’s good for the goose, is good for the gander.”

And as the real point of Elinor Mills’ article details, privacy is pretty much a thing of the past thanks to creative entrepreneurs like Eric Schmidt. But in Schmidt’s liberal world the double standard is still alive and well.
