Clinton/Lohan '06: Firecrotch Wants To Visit Iraq

Never gonna happen, but mindboggling nonetheless (via AP):

"I've been trying to go to Iraq with Hillary Clinton for so long. Hillary was trying to work it out, but it seemed too dangerous," the 20-year-old actress says in an interview in the September issue of Elle magazine, on newsstands Wednesday.

Lohan, whose screen credits include "Freaky Friday," "Mean Girls" and the upcoming "Georgia Rule," says she hoped to emulate Marilyn Monroe, who performed shows for about 100,000 troops stationed in Korea in 1954.

"It's so amazing seeing that one woman just going somewhere, this beautiful sex kitten, who's basically a pinup, which is what I've always aspired to be," Lohan tells the magazine, adding that she would prepare for her trip to Iraq by taking shooting lessons with her security guard.

Part of me thinks this is a bad idea, but on the other hand, don't we owe the troops Lohan-style "entertainment" after subjecting them to Kathy Griffin?

I'm tired of Firecrotch. Sending her somewhere dangerous sounds fantastic.

oh bite me. Kathy Griffin is hilarious, and it's not like anyone else signed up to entertain them.

Taking shooting lessons? Is she serious? Does she really think they'd let her anywhere near a gun? And going with Hilary? Talk about a blessing and a curse for those guys. She better just take it off.
My favorite Lohan quote is when she was on Jay Leno and he asked her which branch of the armed forces she liked best she replied, "Oh well, I love 'Top Gun' so...Air Force!"
