This could be hypocrisy, or it could be irony.

In hypocrisy, a person claims to have one set of beliefs, but clearly lives by another. (Such as a talkshow host preaching moral abstinence who has a background of sexual self-indulgence).

In irony a person says something which seems on the face of it preposterous, but intends it to be understood in the precise opposite sense. (George W. Bush' presidency was a time of great social opportunity - especially if your name was Haliburton).
