Just my comments on this rather idiotic story…
Quote:
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.
[…]
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
While at the outset this might seem to be a outrage and may make people want to reconsider voting for McCain, But there’s one little problem with the whole scandal.
“She paid for it with her own money,” Wetherell said in an email.
So, as far as I am concerned, this is a non-story.
I mean, I am all for bringing out stories of corruption, mismanagement, and the fact that McCain is on the wrong end of the many issues facing this country at the moment. This is just not one of those kind of stories.
Chalk this one up as a rather stupid story that made it into the MSM.
