Sarah Palin Installed Tanning Bed at Gov. Mansion

She bragged that she didn’t use the governor’s chef.

Palin bragged about how she didn’t need the corporate jet and sold it on ebay. She may have tried to sell it on ebay but actually used a different third party to sell it. But what a plug for ebay.

But she failed to mention the tanning bed. Who needs a damn tan in Alaska and a direct conduit to skin cancer anyway? Sarah does!

More pork, more often.

Read the article and its over 1,000 comments!

1. I'd like to see the receipt.
They're claiming that she paid for it herself, but given her other behavior (billing Alaska travel days for days at home) and her lying, I doubt that.

3. if it was in fact on her own dime
I see no problem with it. I wouldn't think any different if she had bought a bow-flex or installed a whirl pool in her bathroom. She is welcome to do what she pleases with her money as long as she doesn't demean or hurt another person with it.

9. Yeah, isn't it ironic that her "tanning lovin' self" is running with "a MELANOMA survivor?!?"

4. Shit! You ever been to Juneau?
No sun during the winter. And cloudy the whole year.

5. SAD is not and cannot be treated with a tanning bed. You can't look directly at the light in a
tanning bed.

11. It's ridiculous. You have to wear special sunglasses on a tanning bed, a SAD lamp is designed so
you look directly at it. That's the whole friggin' point!

12. Fish belly Washontonian here.
Amazing what some people will do for a tan.


If she's been at that regularly, at 45, her skin is like leather. Sexy, ain't it boys?

13. Was there a nail/pedicure salon and a tattoo/piercing parlor too?
I know, I know.
I'm SUCH an elitist.
