Snooki vs Obama continued......Snooki slams Obama over tanning tax!
http://www.politico.com/click/stories/1007/snooki_v_obama_contd.html

First, Snooki took on President Barack Obama over Twitter. Then, Obama said he didn't even know who she was. And on Thursday night's second season premiere of MTV's "Jersey Shore," Snooki took the ball back and went after Obama again.

In one scene, Snooki — with her impressively orange tan — broke the shocking news that she's been staying away from her home away from home: Tanning salons.

"I don’t go tanning anymore because Obama put a 10 percent tax on tanning. McCain would never put a 10 percent tax on tanning. Because he’s pale and would probably want to be tan," she said.

Snooki was referring to a provision in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act that mandates tanning salons impose a 10 percent tax on UV-ray sessions.

Clearly, Obama can't relate to Snooki's problems, she added, commenting on Obama's skin color.

"Obama doesn’t have that problem. Obviously," she said.

1. Snooki must have been raised in the Boner household
because they're the only ones whining like crazy about the tanning bed tax.

4. I'm sure a camping trip with Snookie in the woods in Alaska with Palin is in the works as we speak.

5. Wow, I think laying in a tanning bed is one of the last things John McCain intends to do.
People who have all ready battled life threatening skin cancer typically tend to stay away from that sort of thing.

10. that fact should be in this article
shows how second-rate Politico is that they don't mention even in passing that McCain is a skin cancer survivor.

6. If you want a tan, lady
there's this free thing called "the sun". I hear there's a lot of it on the East Coast this year.

9. Snooki makes a lot of money now...and she claims she can't afford a 10% increase...
Give me a break. 10,000 per episode plus they claim to make more money during nightclub visits than the show itself:

11. Obviously, Snooki is too ignorant to know and the press is too lazy to point out
Edited on Sat Jul-31-10 02:46 PM by EffieBlack
that John McCain has skin cancer and, as a result, has to stay as far out of the sun as possible. The last thing he would ever want to do is get a tan. So her entire comparison is idiotic.

But, of course, if the media weren't so lazy or eager for a story, they would have noted that.

I am SO glad that the President said on the View that he had no idea who this woman is.
