Mystery Solved

Posted in Humor, Politics by Evan on 15 September 2008

Ever since The Daily Dish jumped the shark polar bear on the Sarah Palin, some in the blogosphere have wondered what happened to the most popular Oakeshottian of all time. Will the real Andrew Sullivan please stand up? Thankfully, Reason’s Hit & Run has unwittingly unveiled the true identity behind the current Dish posts:

Lindsay Lohan chimes in on the big race:

“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.

“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!”

Lohan—who is rumored to be in a relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson—also referenced Palin’s views on homosexuality.

“Is it a sin to be gay?” Lohan asked. “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?

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

In conclusion, Lohan cited an Associated Press story reporting that Palin’s church advocates a conference about prayer curing homosexuality. Wrote Lohan: “Palin’s Desire to “save and convert the gays”—really??”

Of course, we still don’t know where the hell Andrew actually is. Perhaps House of Wax 2 will star a hirsute intellectual in Lindsay’s stead?

UPDATE: It seems, however, that there’s a second candidate: the host of Red Eye (the best show on TV), Greg Gutfeld
