Obama and McCain Both Want Angelina Jolie

Presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama have one thing in common with every other man on the planet: They both desperately want Angelina Jolie.

Variety magazine's Wilshire and Washington blog reports that both camps have made overtures to the new mom, seeking her political endorsement.

Jolie is still in the undecided category—and neither candidate should count her support as a given.

"People assume I'm a Democrat," Jolie has said. "But I'm registered independent and I'm looking at McCain as well as Obama."

Earlier this year, Jolie shocked many by penning a Washington Post op-ed calling for a sustained U.S. presence in Iraq.

Her final choice, Jolie says, will depend "on issues like international justice, refugees and how to address the needs of children in crisis around the world."

The bipartisan struggle for Jolie's thumbs-up is yet one more chapter in the ongoing debate over what role celebrities should play in the election. McCain issued a campaign ad criticizing Obama for his celebrity-like following, but he also gratefully accepted Hills blonde Heidi Montag's endorsement.

And Scarlett Johansson raised eyebrows by revealing that she had engaged in an e-mail correspondence with Obama—though the fact that you even know that means you're a sexist pig.

In the meantime, Paris Hilton has declared that she will not affiliate herself with any party that doesn't pay her at least 40 grand to attend and set her up with a sweet gift bag.

“United Nations goodwill ambassador Angelina Jolie hasn't decided who she's voting for between Presidential hopefuls John McCain and Barack Obama.

Back in February, Angie wrote an op-ed piece for the Washington Post, [calling] on each of the presidential candidates and congressional leaders to announce a comprehensive refugee plan with a specific timeline and budget as part of their Iraq strategy.”

“First, the world waited to see the first photos of Angelina Jolie's newborn twins. Now, we wait to see who she'll endorse to be President of the United States. My God, how much power does this woman have? How do we know her breasts aren't intergalactic weapons of doom that will enslave us all? You don't see Hannity & Colmes tackling that issue. For the record, I volunteer myself to investigate.

To put things into perspective: Angelina Jolie's father Jon Voight wrote an op-ed piece for the Washington Times essentially claiming Barack Obama would turn America into Louis Farrakhan Land and enslave the white race. So, for all you political junkies out there, look for Angelina to endorse whichever candidate has a firm stance on kicking your old man down the stairs when he forgets his pills. (Psst. Probably not McCain.)”

“The Variety political blog says today that Angelina Jolie is the most wanted person in Hollywood, and not just by directors and producers and my penis, but also by presidential candidates Barrack Obama and John McCain.

I'm not sure how tricking voters into masturbating helps in any way, but I guess that's why I used those hunky shirtless posters of me washing my horse when I ran for class president. My golden muscles rippling in the sun just proved to more of a distraction than anything, although I was somehow elected may”
