Why Sarah Palin needs a tanning bed

Now the media is making a big deal about the fact that Sarah Palin had a tanning bed installed in the governor's mansion in Alaska.

But this just shows that the governor is looking out for her health. After all, it's hard to get the necessary dosage of Vitamin D in Alaska because the sun doesn't shine as strong.

So Palin receives her Vitamin D through a tanning bed, which makes sense to me.

Besides, doesn't the media like darker presidential candidates?
