PIGMENTGATE: Does Sarah Palin Hate Tanning Salons & Small Business Owners?

September 18, 2008 by Sean Kelly  
Filed under Business

(Humor)  Did Sarah Palin buy her own tanning bed just to avoid supporting local tanning salons?

Does the Alaskacentric Vice Presidential Tan-didate harbor resentments because the industry names its chains LA Sunset Tan, Hollywood Tans, and South Beach Tanning, but never Juneau Tans or Wasilla Beach Tanning?

These are a few of the questions that have kept the powerful UV light of media scrutiny on The Pale One this week.

Others include:

Did she pressure State Police officials to demote or dismiss troopers she thought were “pale,”  “wan” or “pasty-looking?”

Does Sarah Palin know how many tanning beds she owns?

As the frenzy continues in the PigmentGate scandal, one thing is certain:  The Palin-McCain campaign is burning the midnight sun trying to save the all-important “bronze” vote that played a key role in the last two vice presidential elections.

In this video from FOXNews, it’s evident that the Palin-McCain spin machine is trying to dismiss this PR crisis an “no big deal.”  However… it’s not working.  The tanning franchise voters are a powerful political force not to be trifled with.

  1. [...] Wasilla Tans. Remember when FranchisePick.com raised the lid on the PigmentGate scandal?  No?  We exposed Sarah Palin’s purchase of her own tanning bed for the Governor’s mansion and lack of support of local tanning franchises.  Perhaps she’s warmed up to the idea of a tanning franchise.
