When Snooki speaks, politicians apparently listen. The Jersey Shore star recently lamented about the 10 percent sales tax President Obama placed on her precious tanning beds, and who was there in an instant to offer a shoulder to cry on? John McCain.

“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!” the senator posted on his Twitter page.

I don’t know what’s most shocking: the fact that John McCain uses Twitter, the fact that he watches Jersey Shore, or the fact that his Twitter post doesn’t seem to resemble a statement from a 73 year-old senator.
