"The tanning bed that may change history. (No, that is not Governor Palin.)
The onslaught of breaking stories on Sarah Palin never ceases. It looks like those 30 lawyers Obama sent to Alaska to dig up dirt, augmented by the media, are striking gold.
Now Us magazine is reporting that Governor Palin had a tanning bed installed in the Governor's Mansion in Juneau. It is also reported that a tanning bed can cost up to $35,000. Here are the shocking details:
Sarah Palin Installed Tanning Bed at Governor's Mansion
Monday September 15, 2008
"Self-proclaimed "hockey mom" Sarah Palin had a private tanning bed installed in the Governor's Mansion in Juneau, Alaska, Usmagazine.com confirmed on Monday."
Well, there you go. Is this the smoking gun that will finish off Palin's candidacy?
No. There is one problem, which the reader must get past the headline to learn:
"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 the magazine.
Nice try, kids.
In another front, Palin has released numerous e-mails showing that ex-Director of Public Safety, Walter Monegan, was indeed involved in an insubordinate relationship with the governor, going around her back and trying to obtain funds that she had already turned down.
It is great to watch the media, Hollywood, feminists, and the Democrats attacking Sarah Palin. So much attention being directed against the VP candidate. The more they try to tear down Governor Palin with their petty charges, the more the polls move in McCain's direction.
Gary, the 30 lawyers thing has been debunked. That's twice now...
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! Are you really pointing out the flaws of Us Magazine? Wow...continuing to go after the heavy hitters, I see...
ReplyDeleteLance,
ReplyDeleteThe only person I have heard debunk the 30 lawyer story is you. (maybe they were only interns or invesigators) Actually, it is a very normal political procedure-ugly-but normal. Are you saying that there is no "opposition research" going on in Alaska?
Yeah, Us Magazine - I had never heard of them before, but everybody seems to be piling on. So now they are talking about tanning beds!
The shame is not that she bought a tanning bed, installed it in the mansion, and paid for it herself. The shame is that a tanning bed costs $35,000.

Right Truth
Good point. But then again, I live in California where a tan is free.
ReplyDeleteI'm just saying that attacking Us Weekly is like shooting more fish in a barrel. It's not exactly something that's read by the "intellectual elite." It's a magazine for people who find Rosie O'Donnel to be too sophisticated.
ReplyDeleteWell, you'll never find Obama in a tanning bed, so there.
