Scar-Jo is Embarrassed
Scarlett Johansson says that she was embarrassed by the media coverage of her ‘e-mail relationship’ with Senator Barack Obama. She says, “It seemed to me to be like a product of extreme sexism, and I kept thinking to myself, ‘God, if this was just, like, Kal Penn or George Clooney or any of the other (Obama) surrogates or supporters … there wouldn’t be (any) question about it. Nobody would even talk about it. I was merely trying to express my delight at Obama’s commitment to his campaign in every aspect and his interest and his support (in) his surrogates and his staff and his fellows, and how wonderful and refreshing that is. And it was manipulated into such an unfortunate media frenzy of kind of a nonstory.”
Scarlett had been quoted saying that she and Obama had exchanged several emails. Barack later stated that she didn’t actually have his direct email address and that he replied ‘once’ to an email that his assistant forwarded to him from Scarlett. Source
She should feel embarrassed. She basically lied and got called out. Silly rabbit.
