What's the diference between a hockey mom and a pit bull?
A tanning bed!
Seems Sarah Palin installed a tanning bed in the governor's mansion in 2007.
"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.
"It was done shortly after she took office [in early 2007] and moved into the mansion," Wetherell told the Narco News, who first reported the story.
According to Wetherell, it was paid for with her own money and purchased used from a health club.
Tanning beds can cost up to $35,000 to install in a home -- not including parts, Alaska-based Color Me Tan manager Erin Weise told the Narco News. Weise added, "I don't think it's normal for people to have a tanning bed in their house. It's expensive."
Palin's running mate, John McCain, battled skin cancer in 1993 and 2000 and has admitted to being a regular wearer of SPF 30, long sleeves and a hat in the sun. Bet he won't be in favor of her installing one of these babies.
The irony here is that Palin declared May 2007 to be Skin Cancer Awareness Month in Alaska. In the press release, it read, "Skin cancer is caused, overwhelmingly, by over-exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun and from tanning beds.”

Funny, none of them mention light deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, etc, all therapeutic necessities Alaska causes that can be resolved with a tanning bed.

They're just jealous. She installed one...they didn't.
Obama doesn’t need a tanning bed.
Next they’ll be complaining about what toe art she has painted on her toes. And I’m sure they’ll find a convoluted way to make it look like the state had to pay for at least three of them.
“Installed”
Oh the horrors.
She bought it used from a health club.
Real guy husband Todd probably hauled in his pick-up, carted it in with the help of his son, and plugged it in to an outlet in a corner of some unused room.

These people are idiots. A tanning booth may be a frivolous luxury in California, but it is a health necessity in a region that gets very little sunlight for six months of the year.
Funny, I typed “tanning bed buy” in to dogpile and the first hit says $1400. $35,000 my ass.

Personal choice. Big deal.
