Lindsay Lohan flashes her fingernail to the U.S. justice system.
We here at Guttersnipe Industries are sick of the continued persecution of Lindsay Lohan. Last night on her HLN program, professional shrewcaster Nancy Grace was all over Lohan because the actress has apparently checked herself into an L.A. “sober house” to escape or pre-empt her 90-day jail term.
Good for her! What the hell is Lindsay Lohan going to jail for, anyway? According to this LA Times blog entry, the sentence is “for repeatedly violating the terms of her probation by failing to attend weekly alcohol education classes.” That’s ridiculous in and of itself – “alcohol education classes” sound like some kind of temperance-era brainwashing 1984-style baloney. The original charge – driving under the influence – is, admittedly, a no-no, but hardly warrants the continued public stoning of the actress.
So to Grace and all her ilk calling for the pretty head of Lindsay Lohan, we say unto you – back off. Get a life. Give the kid a break. Weren’t you young, beautiful and rich once too? Oh, right. Well, that explains it…
While I find Nancy Grace and her kind beyond irrelevant, I hate the idea of shrugging off the conviction on 2 counts of DUI and cocaine possession, just because Lindsay Lohan is a celebrity. And the worst kind of celebrity, who wasted her talent on drugs and booze. That’s only cool if you have a solid body of work behind you. Without it, you’re not a tortured artist, you’re just boring…
