What word can be used to describe a hypocrite who accuses others of being a hypocrite?

I mean yeah, you *could* say "Oh that's called an ******" but I'm looking for a word that sounds legitimately mature.Not one that sounds like 2 kids calling each other names in a fight.

i.e.

A stingy person can be described as "********"

or

an ill tempered person can be described as "morose"

.....but just a word that defines "a hypocrite who accuses others of being a hypocrite"

etc etc.

Update:

what the hell? it censored a non offensive word?!

    According to Webster's 1828 English Dictionary, the word you're looking for is 'Arch hypocrite'

    One could use these words as a substiute for the word, hypocrite: two-faced and phony seem to be the best ones. Good luck.
