Lindsay Lohan and Sam Ronson Get Political

Posted on 14 September 2008 by Loretta

Who knew Sam Ronson and Lindsay Lohan have a political opinion?  In a recent MySpace post, the couple share their opinion of Sarah Palin, the Republican candidate for Vice President.

UH OH!

Current mood: shocked

I really cannot bite my tongue anymore when it comes to Sarah Palin.

I couldn’t be more supportive of a women in office, but let’s face it, it comes down to the person, and their beliefs, male or female.

Is it a sin to be gay?  Should it be a sin to be straight?  Or to use birth control?  Or to have sex before marriage?  Or even to have a child out of wedlock?

I find it quite interesting that a woman who now is running to be second in command of the United States, only 4 years ago had aspirations to be a television anchor.  Which is probably all she is qualified to be… Also interesting that she got her passport in 2006… And that she is not fond of environmental protection considering she’s FOR drilling for oil, she should DO IT IN HER OWN backyard.  This really shows me her complete lack of real preparation to become the second most powerful person in this country.

Hmmmm-All of this gets me going-Fear, Anxiety, concern, Disappointment, and stress come into play….

Is our country so divided that the Republicans best hope is a narrow minded, media obsessed homophobes?

I know that the most important thing about this election is that people need to exercise their right to vote, regardless of their choice… I would have liked to have remained impartial however I am afraid that the “lipstick on a pig” comments will overshadow the issues and the fact that I believe Barack Obama is the best choice, in this election, for president….

Palin’s desire to “save and convert the gays”-really??

According to this Associated Press story, the church of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is hosting a kind of conference devoted to the “conversion of Gays” - no kidding.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) ? Gov. Sarah Palin’s church is promoting a conference that promises to convert gays into heterosexuals through the power of prayer.

You’ll be encouraged by the power of God’s love and His desire to transform the lives of those impacted by homosexuality, according to the insert in the bulletin of the Wasilla Bible Church, where Palin has prayed since she was a child.

Palin’s conservative Christian views have energized that part of the GOP electorate, which was lukewarm to John McCain’s candidacy before he named her as his vice presidential choice.  She is staunchly anti-abortion, opposing exceptions for rape and incest, and opposes gay marriage and spousal rights for gay couples.

I feel it’s necessary for me to clarify that I am not against Sarah Palin as a mother or women.

Women have come a long way in the fight to have the choice over what we do with our bodies… And it’s frightening to see that a women in 2008 would negate all of that.

Oh, and…Hint Hint Pali Pal- Don’t pose for anymore tabloid covers, you’re not a celebrity, you’re running for office to represent our, your, my COUNTRY!

And in the words of Pamela Anderson, “She can suck it”…

Lindsay-”I have faith that this country will be all that it can be with the proper guidance.  I really hope that all of you make your decisions based on the facts and what feels right to you in your heart-vote for obama!”

Samantha- “I love this country-however i wasn’t born here and don’t have the right to vote-so i beg of you all to really do your research and be educated when you cast your vote this coming november…and if you’re in doubt- vote for obama! Mainly becasue if she gets elected my green card probably won’t get renewed!!!”

xoxo

Lindsay and Samantha

Wow! That was one long MySpace post/rant.  Proper guidance?  Educated?  “Suck it?”  I think they are the last people who should be giving political advice.  First of all, saying “She can suck it” doesn’t sound very educated… and I guess Lindsay and Sam were too busy to take the time to even capitalize names of important political figures (i.e. ‘obama’), so who are they to say make an educated decision.  As for advice on proper guidance, Lindsay influences little girls around the world because, if you haven’t noticed, kids look up to celebrities not politicians these days, yet that didn’t stop her from endangering others by driving while intoxicated or from underage drinking and drug use.  Also, I sensed a little bit of jealousy from this post. I think Lindsay is upset that her and Sam were replaced by Sarah Palin on the tabloid covers.  However, I do agree that Sarah Palin should stick to politics and forget about T.V. shows and tabloids, but Lindsay needs to focus on her career and stay away from giving political advice.

Paris Hilton for President

Posted on 05 August 2008 by xXxTerra

Looks like Paris Hilton is getting even with John McCain. Paris released a faux presidential campaign video on the humor site Funny Or Die today. In it, Paris mocks John McCain who used her image in one of his commercials last week without permission.

While sitting under the sun in a skimpy, leopard-print bikini, Paris says, “I want America to know that I’m, like, totally ready to lead.”

Kind of a scary thought, huh? Paris for President? Yikes…

John Edwards’ Daughter Caught Drunk in Public

Posted on 05 July 2008 by Staff

Daddy’s little angel, Cate

On the night of July 4th, Catharine Elizabeth (’Cate’) Edwards, the elder daughter of John Edwards, the 2004 nominee for Vice President of the United States from the Democratic Party, was sitting reading the fine print of a Public Intoxication ticket, instead of watching the fireworks commemorate the birth of the country her father wanted to help run.

Edwards was fined for drinking in public while sitting outside of a house party with friends in Newport Beach, CA. She was sitting next to a group of guys playing beer pong when the cops arrived. No worries, they were all of legal age. I know, the beer pong throws you off! Edwards is 26 years old.

In her defense, she’s no Jenna Bush, and was not the only one who deserved a fine that night at the party. However, she was the only one who could be ticketed since she was technically the only one carrying an alcoholic drink at the time police arrived at the location on a routine July 4th neighborhood check. She was a victim of having the wrong drink, at the wrong place and the wrong time.

Sources tell Hollywire that Edwards tried to talk herself out of the ticket and even asked the two officers if they knew who she was. Yeah, she went there.

Edwards Family

Bad move, Cate. Being a part of a political family, you don’t want to be telling everyone who you are while getting intoxicated, or even just holding a red plastic cup with water in it.

Also, I think the “do you know who I am” question might have not gone over well with law enforcement in a city that is still mostly conservative.

On another note, unsafe driving is a sensitive issue with the Edwards family, as Cate was rear-ended by a drunk driver earlier this year, and John and his wife lost their son, Wade, at age 16 in a car accident in 1996 from being swept by strong winds in North Carolina.
