Palin's Tanning Bed

Submitted September 15, 2008 - 8:57 am by Dulce Mia (not verified)

It's an excellent example of her bad judgment to have a tanning bed in a home with teen girls. Teen girls are especially vulnerable to the temptation to use tanning beds, and tanning bed usage before the age of 35 increases the risk of melanoma by 75%. Yikes. Makes me wonder if Willow and Bristol are allowed to use it. If not, how does anyone know if they sneak some radiation? It just seems insensitive to be a mom tanning in the bed while telling the girls they can't. Why get one if it's not good for the girls? All this stuff is relavent to the supermom question. Like, what kind of mom puts one of these in the house with 2 teen girls? Anyone who argues it's not fair to judge her parenting style is wrong. She's running on her mom status, and she's running for VP. This makes lots of stuff relevant.

Here's a great pitch to the undecided moderate/conservative: pregnant teens, special needs babies, and tanning beds in the home all require a highly available and engaged mom. Does Palin really have time to run the country when/if  McCain dies?
