Actress Scarlett Johansson Gushes She's Drunk the 'Kool-Aid' of 'Amazing' Obama By Brent Baker Created 05/06/2010 - 13:50
Actress Scarlett Johansson, who campaigned for Barack Obama who mentioned getting e-mails from her, remains in the tank for him. She admitted on Wednesday night's Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson [1] that she was amongst those who “drank the Kool-aid” at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner last Saturday where she found him “amazing” and “hilarious.”
Monday's USA Today, as I tweeted [2], quoted Johansson: “I thought (Obama) was hilarious. He has a really dry sense of humor.”
When Ferguson's show returned from a commercial break, as the musical bumper ended viewers could hear Johansson telling Ferguson: “Obama was so amazing. He was hilarious, he was hilarious.” Recognizing viewers caught what she said, “we're on the air now,” Ferguson prompted her to explain, and so she gushed:
I was as the White House Correspondents' dinner and Obama was hilarious, actually. He really like, he, we all drank the Kool-aid. We were sold. It was amazing.
Johansson didn't explain who she meant by “we,” but presumably many of journalists and celebrities in attendance.
She's making the media rounds to plug her role in Iron Man 2. Johansson's IMDb page [3].
I believe the operative phrase here is:
“She’s Drunk”
Why do they have to talk?
Not guilty.
Always one more idiot than you counted on....
She’s an infatuated idiot.
Isn’t she the one who was so devoted and obsessed with Obama during the campaign that she said she’d even be willing to pick up paper cups to clear a path for him? The stupidity of the statement kind of pre-empts anything else stupid she might say for the rest of her life. Not even considering the vacant eyed, unwarranted devotion to Obama: Of all the tasks someone could perform to help their candidate, what’s the thought process that leads someone to believe clearing a path of paper cups is a useful function? Much less one to brag about?
Are they real?
Not that good looking either. Not even in the top 50 in my book.
It’s a yellow hair thing.
_______________________________________
I could fix that.
She didn’t get emails from Obama during the campaign. Or at least a campaign staffer did as John Edwards’ campaign staffer also did and stepped forward to say “the candidate is not having a relationship with this woman, I am”.

So what else is new?
I forgive her...
That’s what I wonder. She was a supporting actress in art films until “they” suddenly appeared and she became Hollywood a-list material.
They’re real nice. :)
She’s kind of goofy looking, depending on the camera angle.
Scarlett Johansson is an idiot.
At least she admits drinking the kool aid. Generally, admitting you have a problem is the first step to overcoming it. She still thinks it’s “cute” and “funny” to admit having this problem, but it’s a start.
