I’m sick of this shit about Lindsay Lohan.

Seriously,

the girl is great. She really is. She’s funny, she’s got great timing. She’s beautiful.

OK. Short list there.

Go ahead, read yer damn NY Times pieces on the ladies of SNL. yada yada yada on the old funny/pretty trap whatever. I’m not in on it. I don’t care.

All I’m sayin’ ya jerks, is she’s funny. She’s good. She’s talented. And we cannot afford to just throw talented people to the damn curb here all the time for our own amusement.

Like we did to

Elvis Presley

Sammy Davis Jr.

Marilyn Monroe

Lenny Bruce

Look. Lindsay’s good at what she does, she’s just being told she’s just HOT. Which she is, fine, but she’s also funny as hell. She is or Mean Girls would have sucked and you know it.

And this goes for Miley too. I know we’re not there yet, but the Pink haircut is worrisome.
