Image is Everything

Why, of course. Poor baby has spent years crafting an image of maturity, morality, purity, prudence, virginity even. She's been a role model for literally millions of young women around the world. Parents chant it like a litany to their tween-age girls and mothers continue to repeat it to their college aged daughters: "Be like Lindsay...Be like Lindsay!" When temptation appears ask yourself, "What would Lindsay do?"

So, when the court sends her off to Graybar for the week after a couple of years of flaunting probations and penalties they must use care not to damage the pristine image of the heroine.

Lindsay Threatens Legal Action Over Labeling

Well, yes, I know she was arrested for DUI and they did find cocaine on the person driving the car named Lindsay and they did test her with positive results and they did sentence her and she did ignore it until finally the court had to give her a pat on the butt that was not quite a real punishment. But see now she found a "doctor" who says she just has Attention Deficit Disorder and she was under medication.

Her attention seems to be deficient when it comes to internalizing what the rest of society expects of adults. But it seems plenty adequate with regard to keeping her name on the Pop Tart tabloid front pages.

She's got a reputation to defend here!
