In an episode of the MTV show this season, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi complained about Obama's tax on her favorite pastime, saying, "McCain would never put a 10 percent tax on tanning, because he's pale and he would probably want to be tan."

And in a defining moment in politics, Sen. McCain took to Twitter to respond: "u r right, I would never tax your tanning bed! Pres Obama's tax/spend policy is quite The Situation. but I do rec wearing sunscreen!"
