TwitterJohn McCain and Barack Obama fight over... Lindsay Lohan?
The Chicago Sun-Times recently quoted an unnamed high level Barack Obama source as saying that Obama's camp rejected Lindsay Lohan's reported offer to do a fundraiser for him because she "is not exactly the kind of high profile star who would be positive for us."
Now Tucker Bounds, John McCain's campaign spokesman takes the opportunity to stand up for Lindsay, who openly supports Obama.
Kind of.
Bounds spins it this way to 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."
Countering the attack, Obama's spokesman, Tommy Vieto just told TMZ: "Glad to see they're focused on the important issues over in McCain HQ."
Yeah, all of us voters are really glad too. So nice to know that both of these candidates' camps have this much time on their hands.
Isn't there a campaign to run, a country to run and issues to discuss other than who's a celebrity and who's not?
Is this getting ridiculous or what? What do you think?

Well played by the Obama spokesman. I am so sick of McCain/Palin and their completely immaturity in their campainging. We don't need that in office, we don't need these games or the name calling. Stop trying to make Obama look bad and just run your own campaign!!!
Even Obama is smart enough not to get involved with lohan. How was she going to help him? Tell him which rehab has the best services, or try to convince him he's gay this month? She is such an expert. I wish she would just keep quiet, that's the only thing that makes her look good.
As the economy is going down in flames and millions of Americans worry about their home, their job, and their pocketbook John McCain is more concerned with hollywood gossip. Simply pathetic.
here real story
Lindsay Lohan doesn't know anything about the alleged rejection from the Obama campaign, her publicist said on Wednesday.
Chicago Sun-Times reported on its site that the Obama campaign rejected Lindsay's offer to host a series of events aimed at young voters, saying that it wouldn't be "positive" for the campaigns image.
Meanwhile, Lindsay is unaware over such claims.
"This is news to me as she has been invited to attend his events and I wouldn't think that his camp would want to alienate anyone who could offer support," Lindsay's publicist Leslie Sloane Zelnik said in emailed comments to IBTimes.
Both of the campaigns are hitting below the belt and neither are focused on the issues. Neither of these candidates are above mud slinging despite what they have previously claimed and anyone who believes otherwise is a dope.
Smooth Move: Liberals dissin Lesbians. Has Palin had a curious experience? I bet SAMLO would yummy up Sara. Hot. Binny
LOL, TUCKER BOUNDS, YOU ARE SO PATHETIC.
He talks to TMZ, but can't answer questions from Campbell Brown regarding Sarah Palin's "commander-in-chief" experience???
Who in McCain camp put this guy in this position??????
I think Lindsay is over-imagining her influence on the election. She's not exactly the kind of "help" the candidates need!
Sarah went against the "Republican" machine in Alaska and won! Obama went along with the "Daily" machine! Also he was a lawyer for "Acorn" which has and is involved in VOTER FRAUD! Obama is a Low Life piece of crap. Thank You.
