DescriptionRepublican National Committee Chairman Mike Duncan called the media “sexist” Monday for focusing on the $150,000 in committee funds used to clothe GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.

“I find it sexist that you would talk about this,” Duncan said during an interview on MSNBC. “Do you talk about how much a tie costs that a male candidate wears in the campaign? No. I find a double standard in this country and it’s very disappointing.”

Duncan would not answer whether he signed off on the spending, saying “this was a campaign expense that came from the coordinated expense of the campaign. It has nothing to do with the big issues of the day.”
