On CNN last night, Campbell Brown discussed the "sniping...about Sarah Palins clothes. Politico.com reports that the Republican National Committee spent more than $150,000 on clothes, hair, and makeup for Palin on the campaign trail.
"Now, these are not your tax dollars. This is money given by Republican donors to the RNC," Brown said. "But the report questions whether it's legal to use campaign cash for quote,' personal use. My issue: there is an incredible double standard here, and we're ignoring a very simple reality. Women are judged based on their appearance far, far more than men. This is a statement of fact. There has been plenty of talk and plenty written about Sarah Palins jackets, her hair, her looks. Sound familiar? There was plenty of talk and plenty written about Hillary Clintons looks, hair, pantsuits. Compare that to the attention given to Barack Obamas $1,500 suits or John McCains $520 Ferragamo shoes. There is no comparison."
