Lawrence O’Donnell Reveals Lindsay Lohan’s Federal Reserve Tweet Was Paid For

Lindsay Lohan somehow found herself generating cable news fodder today when she tweeted she was concerned about the Federal Reserve. Unfortunately for those who agreed with what they thought was a sincere political statement, that tweet was an advertisement. On The Last Word tonight, Lawrence O’Donnell and guest Dana Milbank explained how the youngest man ever accused of securities fraud got his hands on Lindsay Lohan’s Twitter.

O’Donnell explained how the tweet got there– it was paid for by the National Inflation Association, a group that “pumps up tiny unknown stocks that deal with gold and silver.” Lohan has been tweeting out advertisements to support herself, though this one may be the first with such overt political overtones. Among those behind the National Inflation Association, O’Donnell explained hilariously, was the “youngest person in the nation’s history to be accused of securities fraud when he was all of 16.”

O’Donnell had Milbank on to give some insight into the world of paid celebrity tweets, who revealed that, while Lohan does make money on Twitter, she still is “not as good as Kim Kardashian” at getting paid for. He also estimated that, should he need it, O’Donnell would probably rake in about $50 a tweet if he sold them, “perhaps a premium because you don’t wear an ankle bracelet,” and noted that Lohan had tweeted many other advertisements– just not one about the Federal Reserve before. Whether this revelation will deter Lohan from publishing political tweets (unlikely if she needs the money) or make them less newsworthy is yet to be determined, but it appears that, alas, she may not in earnest be joining the Ron Paul Revolution anytime soon.

Larry, are you kidding me?
I turned you off before this came on!

Are you just begging to go the way of what’s-his-name?
LMAO!

Leave it to LOD to investigate the important stuff.

Not a word about the numerous gaffes in Obama’s presser today, but hey, its Lindsey Lohan so LOD gets right on the case, and Frances is not too far behind, carrying the liberals water for them.

Honestly, what is deemed important round these parts must really make Dan proud.

Hear that sound Larry? That was everyone switching to KO’s show.

As for Lohan, I certainly don’t blame her for trying to earn a buck. What with the court system out to get her. BTW, the tweet was dead on accurate. Obama has unleashed the Fed twice papering the economy, which has made the dollar tank. Thanks!

Larry,
Did you ever notice that the Network Media never refers to Democrats as “liberal”, or question their electability; but they consistently challenge Republicans as too “conservative” to be elected?

Is that a calculated effort on their part to minimalize and discredit “the enemy”?

What do you think, Larry?

Oh no, what next?

As long as Justin Beiber continues to support Obama without getting paid, everything will be ok

Lindsay Lohan will look like crap when she reaches her early 40′s. Lohan will be no Naomi Watts or Jennifer Anniston.

There is a good chance Lohan will Overdose and die before 30.

Just because Sheen “was banging seven-gram rocks” does not mean most mere mortals can. If Lindsay lived where I do in Florida, she would currently be doing 1-2 years in Prison. Lohan is very lucky to live in such a place as southern California. Being a major celebrity in so.Cal is basically a “Get out of Jail free” card.

What about the SILENCE of the Network Media?
Can you imagine if ANY Republican botched the age of atheir child?

The bias is so blatantly obvious that they serve more as left-wing street barkers, than newspeople – THEY DISGUST ME!

Not news: Lindsay Lohan tweets something.

Super not news: A pop-”actress” with a few dozen remaining brain cells politics tweets something that a newscaster suspects as a pressing political conspiracy.

Way to go, Larry. It takes a professional to masterfully combine both.

The good Judge over at Fox thinks there is a North American super highway secretly being constructed, a secret North American currency called the Amero that is about to be foisted on us and that 911 was an inside job. He is a bit gullible.
mbaram

O’Donnell didn’t “reveal” who paid for Lohan’s tweet.

SF Weekly’s Dan Mitchell was the first to report that her tweet was sponsored by the National Inflation Association.

Give me a break Lawrence! Who cares if she was paid to make that tweet by the NIA…if it helps hip some sleeping people to pay attention to what is happening to our country then so be it. What is your adjenda defending the fed and inflation?

O’Donnell sure does love the inefficent printing and spending of money.
