Palin's Big Cancer-Causing Purchase

Posted by Emily Farris

 

Ever wonder how Sarah Palin keeps that beautiful tan even in the cold, Alaska winters? Wonder no more.

Apparently, Mrs. Palin had a tanning bed installed in the Alaska Governor's Mansion so that she, and her artificially brown children, can keep that Florida glow year round. 

"She did. She paid for it with her own money," Roger Wetherell, chief communications officer of Alaska's Department of Transportation and Public Facilities told Us Weekly.

Not surprising, considering Palin is a former beauty queen. We all know that in the beauty queen world pale equals ugly. And probably poor. Bristol probably would have had no chance at getting knocked up had she been all pasty and shit. 

We wonder how her running mate, John McCain, who has twice battled skin cancer, feels about all this...

McCain's probably better about it than, say, if it turned out she kept a tiger cage in her house to punish the kids when they were bad.

The point isn't so little. Tanning beds use twenty to thirty bulbs of 100-160 watts each and require special installed wiring. That's a huge cost difference from the examples you cited. Uncool. Not exactly eco-friendly either, unless it was powered by a moose on a treadmill.
