Michael Lohan recently vowed in a public statement to keep his mouth shut about his daughter’s personal issues, but… I think we’re going to have to get some wire or muzzles to get the job done right. Michael recently sent an email to X17 for no particular reason other than to talk some more. He writes,

First of all, I apologized because I was led to believe things said about Samantha, by someone very close to Lindsay and myself. I should not have believed that person, and I acted out of concern, without thinking first. Sometimes we follow our hearts without reasoning first. But then again, the heart has reason even reason doesn [sic] not know! Neverthe less [sic], it was inappropriate. As for Joe Francis, .. He is a good guy and he really cares about Lindsay. Sure he made his money with Girls Gone Wild, but that’s his decision. He has never done anything to me or my family for me to think otherwise, so judging him is not up to me. The Joe Francis I know doesn’t lie or BS. He is REAL! Unlike most of the other people who have crossed my path !

Quick! You grab the duct tape, I’ll get the toolbox!
