Chutzpah:

The traditional example of chutzpah is someone who murders his parents and then pleas for mercy because he is an orphan.

I can’t top that one, but here’s one that comes close: being Prime Minister of a country that has violently suppressed its Kurdish minority for decades, and, in an attempt to put down a violent rebellion by Kurdish “militants” in the 1990s, killed an estimated 20,000 people and displaced hundreds of thousands, and decrying Israel’s military operations in Gaza as a “crime against humanity.” (And it’s not, as far as I can tell, as if the current prime minister of Turkey has expressed any regret for his country’s recent actions, much less referred past military and civilian leaders for prosecution for “crimes against humanity”; heck, Turkey still hasn’t exactly expressed remorse for–or even acknowledged–what it did to the Armenians during WWI.)
