The Palin Tanning Bed Scandal!
TPM brings a nice fun scoop from the Palin beat. The Alaskan Governor/Hockey Mom had a tanning bed installed in the governor's mansion:
"On the campaign trail, Sarah Palin likes to brag about how she put the Alaska state jet on eBay and fired the governor's personal chef. One item that doesn't appear in her stump speech, however, is the personal tanning bed Palin had installed in the governor's mansion.
This morning NarcoNews reported that that a tanning bed had been installed in the governor's official residence in 2007, sourcing a Department of Transportation employee familiar with renovations at the mansion. This evening, Politico's Ben Smith reported that Palin had paid for the tanning bed with her own money.
Now, Palin's own gubernatorial spokesman Bill McCallister has confirmed to TPMmuckraker that a tanning bed had been installed in the governor's official residence in 2007, and that it wasn't paid for with state funds."
In other pressing news, McCain finally admits he didn't think Obama really called Palin a pig.
Meanwhile, I heard the stock market tanked today.

Ummm...technically Narconews brought the nice fun scoop, as it says in the TPM quote itself. Or is it a scoop when you are the first to quote someone else's scoop?

What a scandal. Sun-deprived Alaskan buys tanning bed with own money. Film at 11.

I have to wonder whether some of these "scandals" are being stirred up by the McCain campaign so that they can avoid talking about the real scandals.

Well if John Edwards can be excoriated over a $400 haircut, why can't Sarah "hockey mom" Palin's hypocrisy be highlighted too? Fair's fair. "I'm just like you," she says. Yeah right. How many ordinary working class moms have tanning beds installed in their mansions? The woman's a joke.
