Former Presidential nominee John McCain wants to make sure Snooki maintains her tan this summer.
The Jersey Shore star (real name: Nicole Polizzi), 22, complained on Twitter, "I don't go tanning anymore because Obama put a 10 percent tax on tanning ... And I feel like he did that intentionally for us."

McCain, 73, wrote back, "@Sn00ki ur right, I would never tax ur tanning bed! O's tax policy is quite The Situation. but I do rec wearing sunscreen!"

Snooki isn't the first reality star the Arizona senator has thrown his support behind.
After hearing Heidi Montag, 24, planned to vote for him in 2008, McCain told Joe Scarborough he never misses an episode of The Hills.

"She's a very talented actress," he said.
Tell Us What You Think
29Personally I say tax tanning bed use because it would mean less cancer risk and there will always be risk with sun expose but if the right amount of sun screen is used then there will be less risk of skin cancer.
@ mary i come from military family also and and had alot of uncle that fought in wars back in the 40's and 50's. to come back home and find that no one want to hire Black military men. where was the respect in that. back in the 50's and 60's our SOILDERS came home wounded and messed up, but there were a lot of the that came home to find that racist people would not hire black men and those were soilders. what kind of sacrafice did our nation give to our black soldiers. NOTHING BUT A HARD TIME. NEXT TIME COME UP WITH SOMETHING BETTER.
I don't know what/who Snooki is, but man, I really wish we had McCain over Obama right now. :(
Somebody needs to tax that tanning bed - she looks freakish.
Ok, i admit McCain is funny, but I seriously dont get how Snooki is famous. I cant wait for the 15 mins of fame to end
Just because she planned to vote for you in 2008,then she is talented actress? You are one stupid moron McCain! No wonder you lost.
snooki's 15 mins are up. isn't she afraid she'll get skin cancer if she keeps fake baking? and john mccain, GTFO please. anyone responsible for bringing sarah palin onto the scene should be put into a rocket and launched into the sun.
We're supposed to care what either of these dumb azzes have to say? Seriously, STFU. Bote of use guyz.
I don't care what his political views are, or any of your guys views are, The man was a Prisoner of Wat in Vietnam, He is a national hero, So shut up and show some respect! You're all so ungrateful and I come from a military family so I know the sacrifices soldiers make for all of us.
LMFAO. Really John McCain, Snooki and Heidi??? How about you worry about REAL voters who care about our country and not just themselves and their fame?? LAMEA**.
@ bring it: what make us think Mccain would have done a better job? the oil spill is not his to handle he didn't make the mess BP did
I'm so glad I didn't vote for this guy. Arizona is sick of McCain and his lies.
bring it. You are so dumb! Obama has captured and killed more terrorists in his first year than the last 5 years of Bush's term. Shut your mouth.
It was a joke John. John McCain needs to worry about keeping his Senate seat. Bitter sore loser.
good for snooks. mccain should have won, obama cant handle this country at all. god for bid we got attaked....he would run and hide. he cant even handle the oil spill.
i like tanning only been a few times to get a nice glow but id rather go to the lake and get a natural tan besides the tax was a good idea im tired of all these rotisserie barbies walkin around they are nasty lookin!
he would've never do it cause it wants her to slowly kill herself as we all do
I'm not a Republican, but I appreciate McCain's sense of humor. He seems like a good man.
Yes Snookie, that tax was passed just to spite you and all of your freakishly tan friends. I guess they've never heard of skin cancer?
He is a sore loser! He needs to go away! So does Palin and that white trash supporter of theirs Joe the Plumber.
