I guess that’s what they mean by “going viral”. ---

> [@Terr](#): > > Keep laughing. She has 4.5M twitter followers. You may dismiss them as idiots but guess what - idiots vote. Which I am reminded of every time I see someone like this: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpAOwJvTOio](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpAOwJvTOio) And of those 4.5 million Twitter followers, how many are also following, you know, a lot of other people with divergent political opinions? How many are too young to vote? How many follow her just to see the trainwreck? How many are intelligent enough not to take advice on who to vote for from Lindsay Freakin’ Lohan? _"Numbers,_ Mrs. Landingham! If you want to convince me of something… show me _numbers!"_ ---

I don’t see the big deal here. ---

Why does anyone care who a celebrity votes for? I’m as interested in her opinion as I am of George Clooney’s. That is, not at all. . ---

I doubt Lindsay Lohan gives two shits about anything besides where her next hit of cocaine is coming from. ---

I didn’t know where to put this, but since this is a lighthearted thread, I’ll put it here. I think [it’s](http://theweekmagazine.tumblr.com/image/33370458263) hilarious. ---

I seem to recall reading somewhere that last time around Lindsay offered to campaign for Obama but was rebuffed. Maybe she’s still pissed and just wants to get back at him. Anywho, I really don’t give a shit one way or the other who she does or doesn’t vote for, or why. ---

Y’know, when Eastwood endorsed Romney, I thought I couldn’t care less. It turns out I was wrong: I care considerably less about what Lohan thinks (or purports to) than I do even about most other celebrities. ---

> [@Omg\_a\_Black\_Conservative](#): > > I don’t see the big deal here. That’s the point. Why would anyone care who Lohan claims to be voting for? As stated, she probably will be too drugged out to vote anyway. ---

Nobody cares, which the thread title sarcastically acknowledges. It’s just an amusing side note, like when well-known crazy right winger Dave Mustaine [endorsed Rick Santorum](http://www.npr.org/2012/02/16/146971947/santorum-wins-endorsement-from-megadeth-singer) or well known penis [Ron Jeremy](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/30/ron-jeremy-mitt-romney_n_1718710.html?utm_hp_ref=politics) endorsed Obama. ---

Romney wins an endorsement that actually matters: Ross Perot… [http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20121016/OPINION01/310160058/H-Ross-Perot-We-can-t-afford-Obama?Opinion&nclick\_check=1](http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20121016/OPINION01/310160058/H-Ross-Perot-We-can-t-afford-Obama?Opinion&nclick_check=1) ---

Forget Lilo, Obama has picked up [Honey Boo Boo.](http://www.mediaite.com/tv/barack-obama-gets-the-reality-tv-celebrity-endorsement-of-a-lifetime/) I think he threw his back out when he did.
