Even President Bush Considers Jessica Simpson a Jinx
Q. How do you know your status as pop culture punchline has gone mainstream?
A. When the Commander in Chief of the most powerful nation on earth cites you as a bad luck charm.
And given George W.’s low approval rating, that’s saying something.
Indeed, People.com quotes the President—a Republican, for those of you who’ve been residing under a rock in Fiji since 2000 (and you know who you are)—as saying “We’re going to send Jessica Simpson to the Democratic National Convention.” The joke is a reference to Simpson’s presence at Tony Romo’s games, which coincided with the Dallas Cowboys QB’s worst career outing.

And yes, blogs like this one did their fair share of perpetuating the notion that Simpson is unluckier than a black cat walking under a ladder and then smashing a mirror when it gets to the other side, all on Friday the 13th.
As for Simpson, she’s been sporting a ring on The Finger (not the one you salute fellow drivers with; the one to the left of that one). Ashlee’s big sis also gushes about the benefits of being Romo’s cake feeder and arm charm, namely that she doesn’t have to present herself a “deeper,”more profound,” or “more intellectual.”
What a relief. Few things are scarier than the thought of Jessica Simpson trying to hash out existentialist philosophy and the significance of death in 19th century Russian literature while sipping espresso in an indie coffeehouse somewhere. We’ve been spared!

It’s official. I have lost brain cells after reading the article that quoted Simpson as saying she doesn’t have to be “deeper, more profound or intellectual” when she’s with Romo. Somehow I think she accomplished not doing that long before she met Romo.

Exactly. Why put it on his shoulders?
Jess, honey, that’s not exactly a compliment to Romo . . .

Jess wants so badly to have a fairytale love life, with the man riding up on a white horse, that she will grasp at the smallest of things to prove how in love Tony is with her. Instead of, “Well I’ve grown up a lot and don’t feel the need to be intellectual….”
Oh wait, let me take that back! If you’re grown up then you DO naturally become more intellectual because you know so much more. Apparently this works in reverse for Jessica Simpson.
