A lot of people are claiming that electing John McCain’s old, white ass into the White House would be “more of the same.” I don’t think that’s entirely fair. I mean, it’s not like Dick Cheney would ever have any use for a tanning bed in the White House.
Sarah Palin brought one unusual accessory to the Alaska Governor’s mansion after moving in last year: A tanning bed.
Al Giordano’s NarcoNews first reported that Palin had the apparatus installed in the mansion in Juneau, and a spokesman for the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, Roger Wetherell, confirmed the account to Politico.
“She paid for it with her own money,” Wetherell said in an email.
It does get awful dark up there in Alaska, but health authorities like the American Cancer Society generally frown on tanning beds as cancer risks.
The McCain-Palin campaign didn’t have an immediate comment on the purchase.
