Scarlett Hearts Barack, Nation Instantly Persuaded

A black man's in the running for president: It's a historic event, a crucial time for the Democratic party, and for the American people. Yet if you're Scarlett Johansson, naturally it's all about you! Barack Obama's got a vocal supporter in the zaftig blonde actress, who's discovered that his campaign is the perfect opportunity to direct even more media attention toward herself, while purporting to be not just another narcissistic starlet. "I don't want to seem like I'm holier than thou," she rhapsodizes to Politico.com (we think she can rest easy) but "if the spotlight is on me, I might as well try to direct it on things and causes that I believe in." If you believe, Scarlett, then what more does the electorate need to hear?
