Oh that Lohan!
When I read about this in this morning’s Express, it wasn’t the most shocking story. That award was tied by Foley insisting he did nothing wrong, though at least he’s officially out now (with a high-class boyfriend at that!) and an 11-year-old Florida boy abandoned in Nebraska. I’m sorry, but that is one messed up safe haven law and some fucked up people to decide they’ve just “had enough” of dealing with their own children.
But seeing as how it was a flub by Lindsay Lohan, I still had a chuckle and decided to look into it this morning:
It’s an amazing feeling. It’s our first [???] president.
Some are saying that she said “colored,” others think she stumbled over trying to say “person of color,” others are trying to stick up for her saying that she mumbled the word “good.” You be the judge:
HuffPo is running a poll about it and the comment threads are full, of course. They also note that Perez Hilton and Defamer are saying that she said “colored” but that’s just the sort of thing they’d do. I don’t really have much of an opinion because I don’t watch silly entertainment “news” shows, but it wouldn’t be a week in America without some kind of scandal.
Also:
- She was still pleased that Obama won, and
- It’s Lindsay Lohan, people.
’nuff said, really.
I think she said “it’s our first good president,” because a)that’s how it sounded, b)it’s Lindsay Lohan- life for all civilization began when she woke up, right? and having been a stupid drunk twentysomething girl starving for attention, I have done the field research.
@Lindsay: Who am I to argue with an expert in this unique field?
Liz told me about this early this morning. I find it hilarious. Even if she did say that, is it really that big of a faux pas? Acceptable terms for people who aren’t white seem to change on a daily basis. At least she didn’t say chocolate?
@Patrick: This totally falls under “slow news day” for me, but after looking around the web, it amazes me how many blogs are confirming she said “colored” instead of admitting that it’s really pretty mumbly.
And considering the source, yeah the sound bite (byte?) could have gone much worse.
she definitely said colored. but i agree with Brian, she’s a crackwhore, but an Obama crackwhore. I’ll take her over Sarah Palin any day. And on another note, who is this hottie named Patrick two comments above me?
Nah, I’m pretty sure she said “good”.
@Paul – please don’t eat the straight-people. We need them to make more gay babies.
