By now we’ve all seen this photo where Nancy Pelosi is hailed as some sort of hero for daring to stand up and wag her finger at the president:
This photo could be a Pelosi campaign poster — the sole woman in the room, literally standing up to the President. Why he thinks this makes her look bad is a mystery. https://t.co/7iEuD4UUVO

But former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer points out that wagging your finger at the president was treated just a little bit differently when she did it to then President Obama:

But Jan Brewer needs to understand that there is a very important difference between the situations. You see, Obama is a Democrat.

If the media didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any standards at all.
