Because it wouldn’t be a news day with at least ONE Sarah Palin story, the latest confirmed rumor circulating is that she installed a tanning bed in the Governor’s Mansion in 2007. It was actually one fo the first things she did when she moved in, presumably right after putting that jet on Ebay.

Now, now, this is a prime time to start making sexist comments about Palin again, as people usually associate tanning beds with say, Paris Hilton, but I’d rather just point out the irony in the fact that in May 2007 Palin declared that it was “Skin Cancer Awareness Month” saying that “Skin cancer is caused, overwhelmingly, by over-exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun and from tanning beds.” Oh Sarah, please keep lining them up, and we’ll keep knocking them down.

One question: Did the citizens of Alaska really pay for this thing, or was she so vain that she dropped around 20K for it out of pocket?
