I don't, in situations where substance is relevant. Though, to my shame, I vaguely remember saying something stupid about Gore's suits years ago, maybe on Slashdot.
But her shoes are, and his hair is, fair game in the "Funny political pictures" thread, for example. And while I didn't understand what the issue was with sleeveless dresses, so are they.
Heh, I just remembered another one - Bill Clinton was roasted for wearing a Timex Ironman Triathlon watch - the very model which I had at the time, and which I am wearing right now.
I'm not defending any news organization that covers her shoes outside of their fashion coverage, but people who post "Melania shoe memes" aren't using them as arguments for impeachment.
