Rejected by Barack Obama, Crestfallen Activist Scarlett Johansson Will Never E-Mail Again [Politics]

Rejected by Barack Obama, Crestfallen Activist Scarlett Johansson Will Never E-Mail Again [Politics]
This was supposed to be the time of Scarlett Johansson's life — happily engaged with at least two eagerly anticipated new films ahead of her and, most thrilling of all, her official status as Busty Blond Obama Campaign Cog confirmed a few weeks back when she confessed an ongoing e-mail correspondence with her fifth father and Democratic presidential nominee-to-be. "You'd imagine that someone like the senator who is constantly traveling and constantly 'on' — how can he return these personal e-mails?" she asked Politico on June 8.

Alas, as the Senator revealed this week, he can't — and he doesn't:

[S]peaking to reporters aboard his campaign plane, Obama said the actress doesn't have his personal e-mail address. "She sent one e-mail to Reggie, who forwarded it to me," Obama said, referring to his 26-year-old personal assistant, Reggie Love. "I write saying, 'Thank you Scarlett for doing what you do,' and suddenly we have this e-mail relationship."

Finally! The Rev. Jeremiah Wright's support group for exiled Obama confidants has the mascot it so desperately needs. Meanwhile, we hear a devastated Johansson is on damage control this morning, deleting "obamaforprez08@aol.com" from her address book and quietly racing to retrieve the racy photos of her phone-campaigning at home wearing nothing but an Obama T-shirt and a smile before her skeevy imposter penpal disseminates them online. Please ping us if you happen upon them.
