McCain And Obama Campaigns Spar Over...Lindsay Lohan

Proving, once again, that politics has jumped the shark, both the McCain and Obama campaigns released statements today regarding Obama's no-thanks to an offer from Ms. Lohan to host a fundraiser. Said an Obama source to Zwecker, "[Lohan] is not exactly the kind of high-profile star who would be a positive for us.'' McCain spokesman Tucker Bound told TMZ, ""So let me get this straight - they turned away Lindsay Lohan, but Barack Obama has friends like unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers and convicted felon Tony Rezko? Maybe LiLo is just too upstanding for Barack Obama." Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor responded, "Glad to see they're focused on the important issues over in McCain HQ." Snap! Of course, while the two campaigns exchange bitch-slaps over Lindsay Freaking Lohan, the economy still sucks, unemployment is still high, and apparently there's still a war in Iraq.
