Who's to Blame for Lindsay's Messes?

I really could not care less about Lindsay Lohan and her infamous escapades. Yet I still write this blog about her. My irritation today is less about Lindsey than it is about her parents, particularly her father.

Now that their Golden Goose is in real trouble, they are side-stepping the real issue with their daughter -- their lack of parenting of a willful child when they had the chance.

Mr. Lohan most recently appeared on camera after his daughter's 90 day jail sentence condemning the penalty and then went on to say that the "system" has failed his daughter. While he is an apologist for Lindsey's behavior, he deflects and blame from himself by blaming the "system" for not doing something.

Whoa, who raised this kid and let her run with her celebrity pretty much unbridled? The time for control was when she was a minor. It is so much harder to "help" an adult child, but they missed their opportunity many years ago. They could have taken away from the fast-paced

Hollywood world, kept her from making films until she matured a little more. But then, how could they do that with their meal ticket? The whole affair is sickening. It is clear from Lindsey's croc tears and astonished look when she was held to account for her actions, that she doesn't believe the rules should apply to her.

"Moi, going to jail...moi?" She really wondered how that could be. She TRIED to make her court-ordered meetings, but somehow could not. Not my fault she thinks. It is the "system" who is at fault. Wonder where she learned that, Michael?
