WardrobeGate’s Coattails

January 21, 2009

From Robin Givhan’s Washington Post piece about Michelle Obama’s Inauguration Day wardrobe (and her fashion choices more generally):

The bill for the entire inaugural trousseau was paid by the Obamas, [Katie] McCormick Lelyveld [Mrs. Obama’s spokeswoman] said.

Would this sentence exist but for WardrobeGate?
