Punchy Lohan Slams Palin as 'Narrow-Minded Homophobe'
Lindsay Lohan's online missives have come a long way from the days when she offered to "release a politically/morally correct, fully adequite [sic] letter to the press ... simply to state my oppinions [sic] on how our society should be educated on for the better of our country."
Now, with a little help from inamorata Samantha Ronson, she's penned a surprisingly coherent diatribe on Sen. John McCain's vice presidential running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin, which she says was sparked by her "fear, anxiety, concern, disappointment and stress" and her inability to "bite my tongue any more."
"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?" the Barack Obama-supporting actress, 22, rails on her MySpace page. "Is our country so divided that the Republicans' best hope is a narrow-minded, media-obsessed homophobe?"
She goes on to cite an Associated Press story about how Palin's longtime church in Wasilla, Alaska, promoted a conference "that promises to convert gays into heterosexuals through prayer."
And while Lohan says, "I am not against Sarah Palin as a mother or woman," she points out that "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 woman in 2008 would negate all of that."
She adds that she "would have liked to have remained impartial; however, I am afraid that the 'lipstick on a pig' comments will overshadow the issues. ... 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!"
Alas, LiLo then undoes much of her earlier eloquence by concluding, "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 sports her heart-shaped ring at the Ultra Supper Club in Toronto on Sept. 12.
In between educating the public on policy issues and spreading Pam's deep thoughts on politics, Lindsay has been flashing a sizeable heart-shaped sparkler on her ring finger, which has led simmering betrothal rumors to heat back up.
But her rep insists that the diamond bauble isn't an engagement ring and wasn't given to her by Sam, whom she recently gushed to Marie Claire is a "great person."
"She bought it herself," the mouthpiece tells People. "It's an antique ring that she found at an antique store in NYC."
So, why show off an eye-catching rock that she knows will kick-start speculation about the seriousness of her relationship with Ronson, whom the New York Post says she enjoyed an extended and "intense liplock" session with during a recent night out at New York's Beatrice Inn?
"It's like her own personal joke these days," a snitch tattles to E! News. "She slips a ring on that finger, then goes to a party and watches the rumors start to roll. It amuses her."
Not amusing to Lindsay? Tripping in front of the paparazzi.
TMZ reports that Lohan stumbled over a barricade set up outside New York's Bowery Hotel on Sunday night for a birthday bash tossed by Jennifer Lopez for husband Marc Anthony.
Apparently concluding that a shutterbug was responsible for her lack of balance, LiLo "punched" one of them in the nose, all while talking on her phone and carrying a suitcase-sized purse.
After the supposed proboscis swing, she is said to have told the person on the phone, "Oh my God, I just hit a paparazzi."
Police were reportedly called but no charges filed.
