Has it really got to this point? The economy is tanking and we hear about a tanning bed? Olbermann gave 10 minutes on this yesterday. The Link The Narco New Bulletin, of all publications, which reports on "the drug war and democracy from Latin America," has broken the astonishing news that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, had a private tanning bed installed in the governor's mansion. This juicy tidbit was quickly scooped up by US Weekly, followed by the Los Angeles Times blog, The Dishrag. Both articles pointed out that Palin declared May 2007 to be "Skin Cancer Awareness Month. The press materials noted that "Skin cancer is caused, overwhelmingly, by over-exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun and from tanning beds.'" Palin's running mate, John McCain, has said he is a big fan of sunscreen, long sleeves and a hat. He battled skin cancer in 1993 and 2000.
Dude, you don't understand, he really really really loves Hillary Clinton, just like Rush told him to say.
Those short days in the winter in Alaska are brutal to one's golden glow. Basically a non-story, although the irony of Palin's tanning bed and Johnny Mac's skin cancer issue is juicy.
There should be a perfect spot for it in the VP's office. When Cheney has the movers take out the "man size locker" on January 20, 2009, Palin can slide the tanning bed right in it's place. Voila!
Dunno about you guys, but I'd like to examine the results very carefully. You know, just to make sure there ain't any hangin'....chads, dimples, or whatnot.
I wonder how many other knucklehead McCain supporters there are, like Wiz, who actually try to make these idiodic stories big news so they can turn around and criticize people for talking about them. At least be a worthy adversary Mr. Wizard. We get no pleasure in dunking on a 5'2'' fourth grader day after day.
Stop churning idiodic stuff like this. Its not like she got an elite $400 haircut or something. That was a joke. Our politics absolutely sucks, and I am astonished that Oberman devotes a second to this.
Owns a tanning bed...oh my....whats next for Sarah? Kicking puppies? Spitting on old people? Taking candy from babies? Just the tip of the iceberg.........
How is this different from Edwards's $400 haircut? This woman isn't going to Supercuts, either. We don't need a preener, we need a leader. This isn't a scandal, but it's a funny symbol of how empty she is as a national candidate.
