The most riveting of the revelations

"You forgot the most riveting of the revelations: she discussed having a sunbed...."

Oops. I guess that only made it into emails I sent. Well, let's be sure to investigate this horrific anti-environmental health-threatening waste of our online reading time taxpayer money!

Guardian (UK) -- Propagandistic spin emphases mine (hope I do it right this time):

Palin is upset over an inquiry about whether she has placed an order for a tanning bed in the governor's mansion. She denies that there was a work order, but one of her staffers says: "Did Gail at the AK club say that she'd be discreet about your purchase?"

Palin, writing to a staffer, acknowledges that she wanted the tanning bed but is more concerned about the potential media damage: "The press from the ADN (Anchorage Daily News) just called about the sun bed. Any idea where this would have come from?"

The tanning bed incident came soon after she had championed protection against skin cancer, of which tanning was identified as a cause.

Yes, dear Buzzreaders, forgive me for not tracking down the additional links again, but that vile, duplicious, cancer-promoting hypocrite Palin was also personally involved in deciding whether to install the tanning bed next to the dryer in the basement (where they'd have to unplug the dryer to use it) or in the cedar closet! The bed was "occasionally used" by her daughters, and (to borrow a HuffPo phrase) "we may never know her true motives," if it was for her, too. Although the Palins, not the state, paid for it, the taxpayers may have paid for the electricity! Why, oh why would folks in "the land of the Midnight Sun" (been there, saw that) need a tanning bed!?! Oh, wait...
