Well, it clearly harkens to the "a pot calling a kettle black," but it sounds to me like he's actually calling the kettle black. He just doesn't want to call the pot "kettle-black." This makes perfect sense to me, but is hard to express electronically (i.e., without verbal cadence) due to lack of perfectly appropriate punctuation. This would be a typical double-standard lyric of late period Wilco, IMO.
