This fallacy consists in holding up one standard for a favored group or person and a totally different standard for an unfavored group or person. For example, according to the popular media (predominantly Democrat), Dan Quayle (a Republican) is not fit to be President of the United States because he misspelled potato (potatoe). But Bill Clinton (a Democrat) can commit perjury, adultery, and sexually abuse a woman young enough to be his daughter and lie about it under oath, and remain--in the eyes of the liberal media--a good president because “his private life has nothing to do with his public life.”
