Michelle Obama was recently discovered to be wearing $11,000 earrings and there were a number of comments (both positive and negative) about it that I found funny. People are comparing this with the Palin wardrobe controversy (which I found slightly ridiculous on both ends of the 'debate') but I find that stupid.

There were commentators that were defending her by saying, "Oh, her husband paid for them," as a way of differentiating her from the fact that Palin's wardrobe was largely paid by Republican funds and/or donors. But.

People forget that Michelle Obama worked and had a well-paying job before this Presidential campaign and election. She made more money than Obama did as Senator.

She pays for own damn earrings.

... for some reason, this is ticking me off. For an otherwise stock article on the First Lady-elect's clothing/accessories, this is not a very rational response. Especially since, more likely, someone gave her the earrings or loaned them to her.
