The latest in campaign triviality
June 26th, 2008 by Justin Richards in News, Politics
- Barack Obama and Scarlett Johansson. She and he exchanged some mutually supportive e-mails about each other’s work, expressing admiration and encouragement etc. I guess some reporters decided to make a thing out of it, and Obama blew the whole thing off and jilted the poor superbabe.
I tend to agree with Slate’s Mickey Kaus that the candidate was unnecessarily dismissive. Their exchange didn’t sound improper.
But if it did, well, we know how damaging that could be. Wait, weren’t there rumors about another president and a blindingly sexy celeb? Don’t fight the Kennedy comparisons, Obama. That’s like dodging gumdrops.
