The Latest Palin Outrage is a Doozy!
Oh my dear, merciful Heaven! What sort of maniac would do this?
Sarah Palin brought one unusual accessory to the Alaska Governor’s mansion after moving in last year: A tanning bed.
Umm…okay. And?
Did I suddenly have a stroke and wake up in a world where owning a tanning bed is a mortal political sin? Is Sarah Palin doomed to walk the earth in paleness considering that she lives in a state not exactly known for its abundant sunshine? Where’s the transgression here?
She paid for it with her own money, so it’s not like she bilked the taxpayers out of a couple thousand dollars. Maybe the real story that the Politico forgot to mention is how she got a sweetheart deal for that tanning bed from one of her well-connected friends at Costco. I mean, it’s not like she bought a house from an influence-peddling money man who ended up in jail for his felonious activities or anything.
And she should get some credit for getting her tan at home instead of heading off to Hawaii to catch a few rays and spend some time shaking down the faithful at an exclusive and quite expensive resort.
Or maybe that’s the problem with Palin. She’s so intensely normal that the media has no clue what to do with her.
UPDATE: Well would you look at which publication is right in the middle of this story. I guess they’re okay with the, what, ten subscribers they have left?

Isn't one of the seven deadly sins Vanity? How does one claim to be a devout Christian and commit sins with impunity? Christ, I can't figure out how you Christians justify the Rube Goldberg leaps of logic required to explain your behavior in Biblical terms. And don't give me the medical necessity crap, vitamin D will do fine. The Finnish don't need need this equipment, so why do Alaskans? Simple answer: vanity. Although I would entertain the possibility that Alaskans have inferior medical technology.
Before you ask the rest us to comply with Christianity, maybe you should ask yourself if you really comply. And for vanity reasons, she really doesn't need to do it anyway. Next to McCain's skin, she'll look dark whatever she does. Except for the spots, of course.
If she were committing a sin, you might have a point. She's not, though. There's nothing at all wrong, Biblically, with wanting to look your best even if that means you *gasp* buy a tanning bed with your own money.
How silly.
Tanning is a sin? Guess I'm going straight to hell then.
