ORANGE ALERT! Politicians With Fake Tans: A Cautionary Slideshow

Summer has arrived and with it, the season of bikinis, SPF and aloe vera -- but some familiar Washington faces seem to have an orange glow all year round. We're talking about the fake-and-baker lawmakers of Capitol Hill.

From House Minority Leader John Boehner, who claims his tan resulted from spending time outdoors, but actually just looks like he spray, to Alaska Governor Sarah Palin who reportedly installed a tanning bed in the governor's mansion, these politicians' complexions crash and burn. Take a tip from them: even if it rains all summer, try not to look like an oompah-loompah this season.

Fake tans for fake people. Makes perfect sense.

[ywcachieve]

Sarah Palin look ridiculous with that toasted face, and white arms and hands...bw­ahahahahah­ahaha

[Lahonda]

Sen. Kerry looks jaundiced... like yellow.

[Retrofuturistic]

It's not just the tans that are fake....

[gallon]

The man of the hour, Governor Sanford would fit well in this line up.
Boehner gets the sunkist award for this round.

Gov Crist does not belong on this list. Last time I checked he is governor of the Sunshine State. Yes it does get cold in North Florida,but after living in the state for 12 years I know it is warm most of year.

Look at that picture of Crist and Palin! Sarah's face is burnt sienna while her hand is ghostly white. She really should ease up on that face bronzer, sheesh!

[JessWonderin]

Actually it because her hand is deep in the till . . . not much "sun" there . . . . .

[mamalisa38]

Good one JessWonderin!

[demomntgirl]

Orange you glad you now know the truth...
about FAKE bakers.
They look hideous.

[EmeraldWorld]

Wow, and Palin looks even more like a strung-out chipmunk in this picture.

[espresso4me]

Sarah without her tanning booth induced tan--not a happy sight.

Wonder how much of that is fake tan and how much is due to poorly chosen makeup for the cameras?

I mean, how hard is it to get a light, natural-looking tan out of a tube for one's face? I do quite well with a self-tanner for legs.

What was it Obama said at the correspondents' dinner? 'Boehner is also a person of colour...just not a colour found in nature...'. Best line of his speech!

[Bulbul]

No wonder, Larry King said about his little boys....they wish they were black !
At least they say it, the orange ones don`t...

[swellsoire]

Perhaps it's jaundice.

[Arrecho]

Orange is the new black.

[hooklefty2]

Too funny
