Lindsay Lohan Called A "Wasted Prima Donna" In Wall Street Journal Column

Talk about a random reference!

Allysia Finley wrote an opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal talking about all of California's, er, problems, including racking up debt, increased taxes and creating excess regulations and commissions.

And who does Finley use as a comparison? None other than rehabilitating actress Lindsay Lohan! Read the nasty quote below:

"Listen up, California. The other 48 states—your cousin New York excluded—are sick of your bratty arrogance. You're the Lindsay Lohan of states: a prima donna who once showed some talent but is now too wasted to do anything with it. After enjoying ephemeral highs and spending binges, you suffer crashes that culminate in brief, unsuccessful stints in rehab. This cycle repeats itself every five to 10 years, as the rest of the country looks on with a mixture of horror and amusement. We'd feel sorry for you if you didn't constantly flip us the bird. Instead, we're making bets on how long it will be before your next meltdown. Oh, wait—you're already melting down. So here's our final warning: When you inevitably crash and burn, don't count on us to bail you out."

Burn! Is LiLo's "downfall" really all that similar to California's?
