Red Eye Panel Discover Tanning Bed ‘Scandal’ In Sarah Palin Email Dump

video
» 81 comments

The three-year-late Sarah Palin email dump has yet to produce any illegal behavior or seedy language (other than some talk about rock bands), but it certainly has raised some suspicion on her aesthetic choices– namely, her contemplation of installing a tanning bed in the governor’s mansion. Last night/this morning, the Red Eye crew explored the recent developments from the release and the potential scandals that could actually harm Palin’s reputation.

In the latter category, panelist Karl Zahn gave the definitive word– only “an email where she and Todd were wrestling midgets naked” could do anything to her career, particularly in light of Rep. Anthony Weiner‘s transgressions. Host Greg Gutfeld noted the only actual “scandal” in the emails so far was the tanning bed issue, which some on the panel were willing to forgive.

Matt McCall, who called the entire ordeal a “witch hunt,” argued that “if her Weinergate is getting a tanning bed,” there was little to worry about on Palin’s part, but fellow panelist Anna Gilligan lamented that Palin had not yet “learned the values of a spray tan.” Rounding out the discussion was John DeVore‘s hopeful-sounding prediction that “millions of liberals aren’t going to be going outside” to read the emails, and Gutfeld’s possibly projecting claim that email should only be used for “discussing your hangover, trying to buy drugs, or cheating on your spouse.”

The panel also had a profound discussion on the merits of Sizzlean, a product of the 1970s and 80s marketed as a healthy alternative to bacon. The product failed, Gutfeld explained, when people figured out that bacon was “God’s food.” For those who did not live the era (where, apparently, it was only acceptable to eat drunk or when penniless), the product proved difficult to describe, even for ombudsman Andy Levy who found some wholesale outlets still sold it. Zahn tried to explain the delicacy comparing to steak, the way “spam is pork roast for Spanish people,” which is a funny joke, but not as hilarious as the dry, tasteless lumps of flesh Anglo-Americans try to pass off as edible pork. Anyway, the point here was that the Palin emails were the Sizzlean to the red meat of actual scandalous news.

    Sarah Palin is going down… rolls eyes. Libs are learning that Sarah Palin has more experience in one email than Obama does his entire life.

  • Moderate

    That reminds me of a fat free oil that was called Olestra used in frying potatoes. It tasted bad and worked great as a laxative.

    The liberals are so obsessed with Palin they will be tied up for months, going over her emails.

  • slickerwick

    She killed of family of five with a hunting knife over a snowmobile parking spot!

    “Gutfeld’s possibly projecting claim that email should only be used for “discussing your hangover, trying to buy drugs, or cheating on your spouse.”

    Frances, just curious if Bill Maher had used that joke (or one similar) would you have insinuated he was “projecting” as well?

  • DaTruth

    Why isn’t the big story here at Mediaite and elsewhere the media frenzy to try to find something…anything…to somehow implicate her in something nefarious?

    When it’s all said and done (and it’s looking to get to that point), when will the story REALLY be about why certain elements of the so-called unbiased media went on this witch hunt?

    You want to write a story about THAT, Frances Martel? It’s really the most important aspect of what this whole sordid exercise has been about

  • Paul G

    Still the GREATEST show on TV….

  • DaTruth

    By the way, I’m pretty sure she’s already commented about the used tanning bed, saying they paid for it. Imagine wanting to get a little color in the north country…wow, what a concept.

  • felixw

    The liberal media will give Sarah grief for wanting a tanning bed. But is she tweeted naked pictures of herself from the tanning bed and had an interest in underage boys, they would probably enlist her to run for office as a Democrat.

  • OxyCon

    Red Eye has on Anna Gilligan. Bill Maher has on Janeane Garofalo.

    Think I’m gonna be watching Red Eye.

    Any of these people listed below would make a better President than Sarah Louise Palin:

    Octomom aka Nadya Suleman:
    She tried to game the system and is a publicity tart. Octomom is selfish. Octomom makes bad decisions. Obviously she has a lot in common with Palin. Octomon would still make a better president than Palin

    Sham Wow Slap Chop pitchman Vince Offer: Yes he would make a better president than Palin, and is less annoying.

    Lisa Ann This adult actress is the star of “Obama is Nailin’ Paylin” and its sequel “Who’s Nailin’ Paylin?”. Lisa Ann is an unabashed progressive (look it up). The Palin fanboys and girls will at least get a woman President that looks like Palin.

    Bat Boy of Weekly World News fame would make a better president than Palin (as long as his bat parent was a natural born bat, I will have to check Vattel’s Law of Nations on this one).

    Rip Torn. Yes he has some criminal and addiction issues. Rip may break into Federal Reserve and pass out there. At least he will be president and it will be legal for Rip to do so. BTW, lock up the White House liquor cabinets please. Rip torn by far beats Palin. If Rip Torn declines to run we can draft Gary Busey.

    Stay safe America.

    Hannity is the best. The minister of propoganda was so pissed about the whole Palin email thing on Friday.. I love when he asks a guest a question who is going to disagree with him because he answers the question for them. Or, if by chance they get the answer out before he has a chance to, he immediatlely changes the subject to something about Obama that is totally irrevalent and usually untrue. I got to give it to him, he has that down to a science. O’Reilly is the same way but just not as obvious.

  • Nature Freak

    This is a comment I submitted to “The Guardian” (UK) 3 days ago. As I have already stated I think both Huntsman and Romney are adults in the room, even though I differ with them on issues (especially Romney.) To me Palin is a child and self destructive. (BTW, tanning beds can be very unhealthy).

    “As an American, let me warn people reading these comments that The Drudge Report has picked up on this article, so plan on reading your fair share of extreme right wing views coming in to this site from Tea Party/ militant Obama haters.
    Rest assured, most of us Americans think the Tea Party or Tea Baggers as we like to call them here, are mad. They do not represent me or a majority of Americans, especially ones with half a brain left.
    The Tea Party and the Christian Right forgets the world before Obama wasn’t all rainbows, unicorns, Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens or what ever their favorite things are. The United States is a complicated and diverse place, always changing and always will be. Even if the Tea Baggers are right that there was an Eden on earth before the “Dang Hippies” and “Dark people” ruined everything, they need to remember what Thomas Wolfe said: YOU CAN’T GO HOME AGAIN.
    I ask people in the UK and elsewhere to please not negatively judge all Americans. Every country has its share of crazies.

    Nice. I thought of using the name Nature Boy once. Nat King Cole had a beautiful voice and died young.

    This one is good and from one of my favorite artists of all time, Nick Cave (with the Bad Seeds here)

    “Nature Boy”

    I was just a boy when I sat down
    To watch the news on TV
    I saw some ordinary slaughter
    I saw some routine atrocity
    My father said, don’t look away
    You got to be strong, you got to be bold, now
    He said, that in the end it is beauty
    That is going to save the world, now

    And she moves among the sparrows
    And she floats upon the breeze
    She moves among the flowers
    She moves something deep inside of me

    I was walking around the flower show like a leper
    Coming down with some kind of nervous hysteria
    When I saw you standing there, green eyes, black hair
    Up against the pink and purple wisteria
    You said, hey, nature boy, are you looking at me
    With some unrighteous intention?
    My knees went weak,
    I couldn’t speak, I was having thoughts
    That were not in my best interests to mention

    And she moves among the flowers
    And she floats upon the smoke
    She moves among the shadows
    She moves me with just one little look

    You took me back to your place
    And dressed me up in a deep sea diver’s suit
    You played the patriot, you raised the flag
    And I stood at full salute
    Later on we smoked a pipe that struck me dumb
    And made it impossible to speak
    As you closed in, in slow motion,
    Quoting Sappho, in the original Greek

    She moves among the shadows
    She floats upon the breeze
    She moves among the candles
    And we moved through the days
    and through the years

    Years passed by, we were walking by the sea
    Half delirious
    You smiled at me and said, Babe
    I think this thing is getting kind of serious
    You pointed at something and said
    Have you ever seen such a beautiful thing?
    It was then that I broke down
    It was then that you lifted me up again

  • slickerwick

    Since we’re doing song lyrics, how’s about this one:

    How Could You Believe Me When You’ve Known I’ve Been a Liar All my Life

    How could you believe me when I said I loved you
    When you know I’ve been a liar all my life?
    I’ve had that reputation
    Since I was a youth.
    You must’ve been insane
    To think I’d tell you the truth.

    How could you believe me
    When you know I’ve been a liar?
    A double-crossin’ liar.
    All my doggone cheatin’ life?

    Why baby, you must be loony
    To trust a lower-than-low, two-timer like me.

    You’re really naive to ever believe
    A full-of-baloney phony like me.

    What about the time I went to Indiana?I
    I was lyin’.
    I was down in Ala…bam.

    I said I had some business
    I had to complete.
    But what I was doin’
    I would be a cad to repeat.

    What about the evenin’s
    I was with my mother?
    I was rompin’ with another honey lamb.

    To think I swore
    Our love was real.
    Baby, leave us not forget
    That I’m a heel.

    How could you believe me
    When I said I loved you?
    When you know I’ve been a liar,
    A good-for-nothin’ liar.

    All my good-for-nothin’ life.

    –Burton Lane and Alan Jay Lerner

    LOL, I wonder how many “researchers” will get so frustrated by going through the emails and say to themselves, I was wrong about her? Yes I know, one soooooo leftist to actually go wading through 24k emails that would never happen. But imagining it is kind of funny.

    Heck, look we already have one making an excuse like a conspiracy to cover it up has been done.

    Sorry lefty, the lawyers are not the only ones to sift through them, it is the government itself. Oh well, I guess the next conspiracy concocted by the lefties is they will find reference to 9/11 conspiracy somewhere in her emails of something.

    They will start screaming in high pitched voices, Palin was part of the 9/11 conspiracy, Michael, we need another movie!!!!!!

    If i have to explain you are clueless. There is a difference between appreciating a nice pair of legs on an attractive woman(which I agree the one on the right has) and what you wrote. If you disagree with me fine, but calling someone gay sounds like a 15 year old.

    By the way homophobia stinks and you are obviously homophobic. I do not tolerate racism in my life and I do not tolerate hatred towards GLBT people. But I do believe in free speech and will defend your right to say what you did even though it was offensive.

    Bigotry is not cool anymore dude. Hate to tell you but the real world is full of people like me so get use to it. And I am not the most liberal person out there by any means.

    It seems like conservatives consider this website their own turf. Sorry for stepping on the grass. Apparently a lot of people here need to hear other views. I support your freedom of speech but my freedom is to be able to disagree with the content.

    I can’ figure out why anyone would think that putting a tanning bed in the Governor’s mansion would be a problem. Now, I have to agree that putting an outdoor swimming pool at the governor’s mansion would be a problem – it would be a definite reason to question the woman’s abilty to make ANY decisions. As to the tanning salon, she might ask speaker Boehner if he uses a tanning bed or just the spray.

    As to why journalists are pouring over these e-mails, that is quite defensible. Not only during the 2008 campaign, but now as well, Sarah Palin has failed to answer any real questions. She goes on the FOX network and answers questions provided to her in advance to her liking – I suppose changing them up to suit her response.
    When someone who is thinking about running for leader of the Free World actually thinks answering the question of “what newspapers and magazines do you read” is a hardball question, they are not qualified to run as POTUS. And, when they think that asking by you learned on you day in Boston is a “gotcha” question, that just solidifies the fact that you are unqualified to run for POTUS.

    Have fun in the movies Sarah.

    Good Grief, skinny little dudette, you sure do take a whole bunch of things out of context and give them meanings the author never intended. I hope you can correct this before entering the 1st grade this September. In the first place I am neither a RepubliCON nor a DummyCRAP. I am against basically everything those two groups stand for …at least those in Washington DC. I do however, vote both ways in local elections because locally and state-wide they stay as far away from those jerks in DC as I do. You will find this very true if you go back and read past posts. Also, I almost always say bright, smart, intelligent, etc. along with good looking when talking about the ladies on FOX News.The women who sit in ‘The LEG Chair’ (yes that is what it is called. The gals who sit there enjoy showing us guys a little of what God and their parents blessed them with.

    Now I must ask you…are you always this unhappy? Do you cry yourself to sleep each night? Would you like for me to introduce you to a nice young lady who is both smart and attractive when you get to the 12th grade? If you grow up faster I’ll get you a date for your Freshman Prom. Also get in touch with me when you get your drivers license and your parents buy you a car. I’ll let you know what is best for you…a car, a truck, a motorcycle, a Lil’ Red Wagon, or maybe a girl’s 3 speed bicycle.

    Anyway, take care kid. It’s been nice gabbin’ with you so until we meet again, I bid you farewell and “Hi-ho, Silver! Away!”

    What have we here, another untrue talking point that will never die, who sent cha? As usual, the libruls are at it again already:

    Once the state reviewed the records, it gave Palin’s attorneys an opportunity to see if they had any privacy concerns with what was being released. No emails were withheld or redacted as a result of that, said Linda Perez, the administrative director for Gov. Sean Parnell who has been coordinating the release.

    Awe come on, it was confirmed that Palin paid for the tanning bed herself in 2008, She caught some flack from some skin cancer groups, support from mental health groups being as though the beds are helpful to those suffering from seasonal affective disorder and continued flack from those not knowing what the heck they are talking about. Good thing the e-mails are out cleaning up these major misconceptions, heh.

    In the 2½ weeks since Palin was named to the GOP ticket, McAllister’s phone has been ringing off the hook from national reporters who have descended on the state to look into the background of the governor.

    Monday, US Weekly and a blog, NarcoNews, reported that “the former beauty queen’s penchant for a bronzed body” led to the installation of a “private tanning bed” shortly after she took office.

    “She paid for it herself,” said McAllister from his Anchorage office. He told ABC News he had “no idea” why she had installed the machine but confirmed it was installed in the mansion.

    Her O’Riley interview puts the lie to “questions provided to her in advance.” You either don’t watch her on FOX or are depending on lefty spin from hatchet sites. Her time spent on FOX isn’t in an interview capacity, she’s a contributer offering opinion so she would of course need to know what the host is planning for a specific segment.

    When and where did she say when Couric asked her about reading material she read was a “hardball question?” I would love to see your source for that.

    And, when they think that asking by you learned on you day in Boston

    What the heck is that? This from someone who is criticizing Sarah Palin and questioning any one of her abilities?

    BTW, the question was not a “gotcha” it was how the press erred and THEIR treatment of her answer. That turned the situation into a “gotcha,” it was the press that was had.

    Good Grief, skinny little dudette, you sure do take a whole bunch of things out of context and give them meanings the author never intended. I hope you can correct this before entering the 1st grade this September. In the first place I am neither a RepubliCON nor a DummyCRAP. I am against basically everything those two groups stand for …at least those in Washington DC. I do however, vote both ways in local elections because locally and state-wide they stay as far away from those jerks in DC as I do. You will find this very true if you go back and read past posts. Also, I almost always say bright, smart, intelligent, etc. along with good looking when talking about the ladies on FOX News.The women who sit in ‘The LEG Chair’ (yes that is what it is called. The gals who sit there enjoy showing us guys a little of what God and their parents blessed them with.

    Now I must ask you…are you always this unhappy? Do you cry yourself to sleep each night? Would you like for me to introduce you to a nice young lady who is both smart and attractive when you get to the 12th grade? If you grow up faster I’ll get you a date for your Freshman Prom. Also get in touch with me when you get your drivers license and your parents buy you a car. I’ll let you know what is best for you…a car, a truck, a motorcycle, a Lil’ Red Wagon, or maybe a girl’s 3 speed bicycle.

    Anyway, take care kid. It’s been nice gabbin’ with you so until we meet again, I bid you farewell and “Hi-ho, Silver! Away!”

    Cry?
    Your High School English teachers (I am presuming you didn’t drop out) cry every night to sleep after they see your substandard writing skills in your postings. No matter what your political affiliation is, learning to write is one of the most important tools you can ever learn.

    I eat losers like you for breakfast everyday punk. I sometimes forget that I am writing to a bunch of 18 and 19 year old wanna be tea baggers here on Mediaite, and as a 40 year old I need to keep that in mind. My bad.

    Sarah Palin????? What is wrong with America?
    Now that America has had a midlife crisis and decided to really lower the bar for being President, lets look at some other options for who could run for President of the US.
    Dominique Strauss-Kahn (as long as he’s in a Hannibal Lector outfit or on Salt peter)…
    General Zod (may have illegal alien issues)…
    Charlie Sheen(possible DSK issues but the polyamory movement will love our First Goddesses)…
    GW Bush (sad but true…even shrub has more of a brain than Palin. pretty sad)…
    evil Tiger mom Amy Chua…
    H.R. Pufnstuf (not a person in any normal sense but person inside costume still would be a better president)…
    Paris Hilton..Lindsey Lohan…Sarah Silverman ( may be my first choice, the debate with her and Palin would be epic)
    Glenn Quagmire (cartoon character/may have some DSK issues see above. Would still be a better president
    Snoop Dogg(at least he would legalize it)…
    The greeter at my local Wal-Mart (despite being borderline mentally disabled he is more polite than Palin and I suspect smarter) …
    Drunk homeless man who earlier today was mumbling incoherently on my street….
    YES…EVEN ALL THESE INDIVIDUALS/CHARACTERS/MISFITS WOULD DO A BETTER JOB THAN PALIN!!!

    Personally, I think Sarah Palin’s tanning booth in Juneau fried her brain somewhere along the way.

    Awe come on, it was confirmed that Palin paid for the tanning bed herself in 2008, She caught some flack from some skin cancer groups, support from mental health groups being as though the beds are helpful to those suffering from seasonal affective disorder and continued flack from those not knowing what the heck they are talking about. Good thing the e-mails are out cleaning up these major misconceptions, heh.

    The liberals cant believe that a beautiful woman a can be smart, independent thinking, successful and pro life.
    They cant sleep at night with her on there mind… the jealousy is consuming them. When they should focus on there own lives….

    Why should liberals even car? she has no power and is just a mother, wife a sister and daughter just like us.
    Just because She has different beliefs then some people…. and so what!
    This is america…

    If you ever look…. its always really unattractive people always attacking her Joy Behar, Bill Maher, Rachel Maddow etc.. makes you think its more of jealously then views when they attack her family and personally life then her politics.

    Palin replied the same day with exasperation.
    “I am so sorry that the office is swamped like this! Dinosaurs even?!” she wrote. “I’ll try to run through some of these in my head before responding. And the old, used tanning bed that my girls have used handful of times in Juneau? Yes, we paid for it ourselves. I, too, will continue to be dismayed at the media and am thankful you and Sharon [Leighow, the deputy communications director] are not part of the stange (sic) going’s-on in the media world of today.

    Actually patricia5, this is our little secret that we keep on the down low, but I live in Bill Ayers refurnished attic. Here in Chicago its hard to get out to the woods and enjoy nature so I spend most of the time in my study reading “Rules for Radicals”. Acorn, SEIU and the American Communist Party pay me by the word to submit comments to Mediate. I am also the love child of Gus Hall and Jane Fonda.

    I have to cut this short. Me and Bill Ayers are going to dinner with Hugo Chavez.

    This is our little secret patricia5, please don’t tell anyone!

    Actually I laugh because two friends of mine just came by my house and are telling me to get the hell off the computer and are giving me a hard time. And I am really leaving my house for dinner. The internet is like the best crack C.Sheen ever had, and I like to be wired 24/7.

    Everyone understands the behavior of drug addicts who don’t get their drug fix – they become uncontrollably violent, resort to insane acts that destroy property and kill and injure innocent people and do whatever they can to get money for their next dose.

    Remember that while thinking about the fact that the massively PDS (Palin Derangement Syndrome) – inflicted lunatic-left d-cRAT socialists, whose hatred for one of America’s most effective and accomplished political leaders knows not bounds, have totally, utterly and completely FAILED in their latest effort to find the slightest bit of dirt on the distinguished former governor after pouring through thousands and thousands of her e-mails. They wound up with Zilch, Zero, Nada, Nothing, Zip!!!!!

    Like the drug addicts they so resemble, the lunatic-left d-cRAT socialists are now likely to explode into even further uncontrollable fits of anger and violence against NORMAL, SANE, PATRIOTIC American citizens. They will make their follow lunatics, the GOONS and THUGS of public-sector unions, look like tame pets in comparison.

    Please prepare to protect yourself and your family from the predictable behavior of these out-of-control d-cRAT socialist extremists and their stooges in the lamestream socialist fake-news media.
