Also glad to see that these politically important people are referring to her as "Lilo." Is Perez their PR person or what?

why would you turn her down? I mean, don't get me wrong, I am certainly not saying his camp should support her throwing a fund raiser… but keeping your mouth shut might bring in $$ and young voters…. and if he catches flack then say "we didnt support this, she did it on her own"

im of the mindset that a fan never really hurt anyone, but publicly spurning a fan…. that *might* be a different story.

Lindsey Lohan is political poison. April, how can you not understand that? She's achieved very little, only recently rehabed. I'm unclear as to why you think she'd be great for the campaign. Do we even have proof that should can put a coherent sentence together that hasn't been edited by her girlfriend?

Agreed Alice. And since she has no fans that I'm aware of (besides fans of her everpresent sideboob) who would care if she felt spurned?

well seeing as everyone is singing the "obama elitist" song, it would see to me that turning down help not deemed "good enough" wouldnt play well in politics. Im unclear as to why anyone accosted with this daily would think this is a good idea.

how is lilo political poison? last i check lilo is political *nothing* my question is why stop a fundraiser? its silly.

Quietly allowing her to throw her fund raiser would probably have no effect on his campaign. shes means nothing to anyone anymore.

publicly telling someone "i dont need help from the likes of you" regardless of who it is, could be damaging. that seems more like poitical poison to me. why give someone more ammunition?

I think the real question is do you pronounce it Lee-low or Lie-low or Lih-low.

Another sad, sad attempt to somehow drag the "celebrity" aspect into Obama's campaign again.

I think that, perhaps, Obama would want to distance himself from a chick that doesn't really represent him, his campaign, his values, his backround, his base, democratic voters in general etc.

I mean, what would she do? Have a little parade down Robinson with her girlfriend? What big gun donors could she bring in? What sort of high power celeb is she? How respected and admired is she in this country?

Bottom line: What would she really do for him? Hell, she'd probably show up at the fundraiser with no bra and no panties …

I would say that considering the whole McCain-calling-Obama-a-celebrity thing that won't seem to go away (even though it wasn't that interesting to begin with) I can see why they would turn down this offer.

CNN's Campbell Brown nearly emasculated Tucker Bounds a few nights ago:

Alice, i think thats my point. What would she do for him? nothing. what would she have done too him? nothing, becuase no one would care.

now its political fodder. It seems like nonsense. why do it publically? why allow other celebrities to throw fund raisers if you fear celebrity status? why not ignore the whole thing like you did with scarjo?

to me it seems like a bad move to even acknowledge it.

They didn't ignore Scarjo. The campaign said clearly that he didn't have an email exchange with her.

Th bottom line is that IF Lohan did a fundraised, and it went south, Obama would be reamed for it. Sure, you could say that he had nothing to to with it, but people would say she was acting on his behalf. That is the sort of thing you might at well just nip in the bud.

Obama said now, McCain made his lame comment, it's done. There is no further backlash. This is the most this is getting spoken about ..

It's a good thing that Tommy Vietor is Obama's spokesperson and not me.

I would have responded: "You guys are just JEALOUS! Ha ha ha!"

Alice, i understand two things from your posts that your opinion is superior to that of everyone else and regarding your last comment, you are clairvoyant (unless this post is two weeks old and i am unaware).

i think ignoring it would have been a better move, i think not ignoring it and telling someone who wants to help she isnt the kind of help you want *could* be spun very badly. that is my opinion.

from hence forth, regarding you, i will take my own advice.

This is hilarious, once again Hollywood speaks politics when really they know very little. Keep promoting Linsday!! The silent majority stays silent for a reason.

Please. Lindsay Lohan is a cherub. Any politician would be honored to have her a part of their campaign. Maybe they can all do coke together and discuss foreign policy. I heard she has lots of ideas and communicates them very fast indeed.

So, you are clairvoyant too. You say "could", I say "would". They are both projections based upon the available information.

Of course it's a matter of opinion. That's what a debate is, the sparring of ideas.

I'm glad you think my opinions are superior. I certainly don't think so, but whatever. We're all just trying to get along here, so calm down Frances.

Lisa, I say LeeLow.

OMG that Campbell Brown Tucker Bounds interview is awesome.

She should have stayed on him and made his answer the question. Thats the one thing I wish reporters would do to both McCain/Palin and Obama/Biden. Ask them questions and get real answers, don't let them side step and spin.

I have to say, politicians are spectacularly skilled at not answering questions. I've been living with MSNBC on nearly 24/7. I don't think I've heard any politician clearly answer any question. Some of them are so skillful at it, they elevate it to an artform.

I say LieLow.

I also say, LieLow has been getting love on MG lately, so BOTH camps are responsible for not reading enough MG, and subsequently snatching up that snatch.

I would say LeeLow too. Or I'd just call her Lindsay Lohan like a normal human. These nicknames drive me crazy!

How about LeeLoo like in The Fifth Element.

THUNDERDOME!!!

I prefer Blohan.

i prefer calling her blindsay blowhan.

i have to agree with april… why turn her down publicly? i mean, everybody knows bitch is crazy. remember that letter she wrote about how "al gore promised to help her get to the bottom of this"? this being whatever drunk dui cocaine fueled mess she had gotten herself into.

maybe she could get other dumb temporary lesbian sluts to barack the vote. and then maybe not. but i don't think at the end of the day thinking people would say "well, i was gonna vote for barack, but now that he's in lindsay's entourage, i don't know."

yes, yes, i know "dumb sluts" is sexist… blah blah blah, Palin sucks a bag of lollipops.)

At this point, nothing would surprise me. The reasons people vote for whoever can be mindboggling.

Wasn't leeloo the name of Fry's pet whale or something on Futurama?

anyhoo, i was talking to a friend of mine who's mother supports mccain. his mom sends him all those emails about how barack is a muslim and blah blah blah. so i ask my friend "Friend, how does your mom explain that barack is a muslim while at the same time having a militant enslave all the white people christian pastor."

he says, "according to the emails my mom gets, that particular church allows muslims to be in the congregation as long as muslims accept that jesus was the first prophet, which, according to the koran, is what muslims believe, so they are cool with it."

now, i don't know diddly dick about the Koran– i i don't even know if it's supposed to be spelled Koran or Qur'an– so i don't know whether it says jesus was a prophet, or even the first prophet, (seems to me that allah is the dude everybody is talking about in the muslim community),
or if it says that muslims should collect underpants for profit

but, WHAT?! seriously? people are believing this crap? and this isn't a dumb woman. my friend's mom is not dumb. i just don't understand how to get through to people like this. Barack is some sort of Islamo-Christian fascist? I don't get it. I don't get it so hard that I'm starting to use capital letters IN MY SENTENCES.

it's like shooting wolves from a plane.

I say bring 'er on. The 53 emails I get from Obama.com could use less grammar.

Sar, Leela was the name of the female pilot of the planet express ship on Futurama. She was voiced by Katie Segal. She has one eye and she's a great character.

what is up with mccain's face? seriously. what's wrong with his face in that picture?

shiver me timbers.

Alice, you're talking to a girl who has found various uses for images of the Hypnotoad. Thank you for trying but I found Leelu here:

http://futurama.wikia.com/wiki/Leelu

Shit, I remember that. When Fry looked like the Gorton's fisherman. I'm slacking … I'm not worthy of the word meatbag.

STM - I think I saw him on a commercial. "I tried everything, but nothing helped my rosacea."

the fact that the mccain campaign is putting out statements to tmz on the oh so pressing issue of lindsay lohan, as the economy implodes around them speaks volumes.

mona31, you got that right. I care more about my stocks, insurance company (AIG) than I guess McCain does.

What does he care? He doesn't even know how many houses he owns.

Where is Wall Street?
Can you tell me how to get…how to get to Wall Street?

take a left at the yellowbrick road.

follow it until you hit sesame street. you'll see a big fucking yellow bird. you may think you are high when you see this bird. you probably are. but keep going. wall street is beyond the bird.

and yeah, mona, that's a good point. friggin lehman brothers collapsed, and mccain is worried about blindsay?

"the fundamentals of the economy are sound."

yeah, and blindsay blowhan doesn't like her some bolivian marching powder.

stm, i just want you to know i noticed and respected "shooting wolves from a plane."

thank you sar. i knew i could count on you. :)
