Of course they can criticize you for selling illegal drugs in the same way you can criticize Norway for getting rich off oil. He's saying that praising that person for doing something like giving money to charity or anti-drug efforts isn't completely inconsistent.

I disagree that it can't be hypocritical. If Norway was doing this for environmental reasons I think it'd be quite hypocritical. That doesn't mean it's not a good thing to do though.
