It always cracks me up whenever Michael or Dina Lohan fly off the handle because someone had the nerve to criticize them or their family. Or their parenting. Or any of the other millions of things you could legitimately criticize the Lohans for. Both Michael and Dina get so self-righteous and haughty, and you can barely keep yourself from cracking up and wondering how they could have so little self-awareness.

That’s exactly what Michael did the other day. Presidential hopeful Barack Obama’s people supposedly declined an offer Lindsay made to host a benefit for him. This comes third hand, and the story is that his camp politely said no thanks because of her reputation. The unnamed insider quoted didn’t into details, call her out for anything in particular, or insult her. But the very fact that Obama’s people declined Lindsay’s offer so greatly upset Michael that he felt he had to immediately defend his daughter’s honor – even though she’s not even speaking to him.

“For Barack Obama to condemn my daughter for past indiscretions when he admitted to the exact same himself is indicative of what kind of president he would be,” Michael Lohan told Pop Tarts via e-mail on Wednesday night.

“His visions of a positive future for this country should be representative of a positive future for people as well. It is looking beyond the difficult times and letting go of the past,” Michael said. “Obviously, Obama can do this for himself and not others, when in fact a good president should have hope for all.”

“Lindsay is gifted — she has a wonderful heart and she can and will affect millions of people in a very positive way. She is here to stay,” he said. “Obama might have eight years, and then he will be giving lectures. Who knows, maybe Lindsay will give him a part in one of her movies.”

What. The. Hell. Michael Lohan must have some severe, severe form of untreatable personality disorder. He really thinks Lindsay matters and will remain more relevant than a presidential nominee? The delusions are just hysterical.

I cannot imagine what would happen if any presidential candidate associated with Lindsay Lohan. It’d be a nightmare. That’s not the candidate’s fault. That’s Lohan’s.
