Of course, I'm sure you'll reject this line of comparison for some reason. Just like you rejected Mike's other cogent argument about how it's also not a fair comparison between what you buy with your own money and what you buy with an organization's money.

No, I'm not saying any of that. I'm commenting on the double-standard that was applied to Sarah Palin because she dared "sell" herself as a Regular Joe. The news media worked themselves into a tizzy over the wardrobe kerfuffle.
And I really don't see how who paid for it has any bearing on that.
