Lindsay Monroe-han

There are times when stories for this blog basically write themselves. This is one of those times:

Lindsay Lohan wants visit the troops in Iraq – accompanied by New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. "I've been trying to go to Iraq with Hillary Clinton for so long," Lohan, 20, tells Elle magazine in its September issue, after she was asked if she had any big plans for next year. "Hillary was trying to work it out, but it seemed too dangerous." She continues, "I wanted to do what Marilyn Monroe did (during the Korean War), when she went and just set up a stage and did a concert for the troops all by herself. 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." Even without Sen. Clinton, Lohan is confident she can handle an Iraq trip on her own. "I'm not afraid of going," she says. "My security guard is going to take me to a gun range when I get back to L.A., and I'm going to start taking shooting lessons." On her desire to handle a gun, she says, "Yeah, I have a dark side. I watched all those videos on Charles Manson for a while." Elsewhere in the Elle interview Lohan says she's never had plastic surgery ("I've never done anything") and isn't using cocaine ("I'm not. There you have it. It's not true"). But she does like to fool with the press – she was 40 minutes late to the Elle interview – and tell reporters "things that aren't true … just because it's fun." Then, too, she admits, when it comes to tabloid attention she "still sort of" loves it.

You know, maybe this article doesn’t totally speak for itself. I have to make a few comments…

1. So the jist of the story is that Lindsay Lohan wants to go to Iraq so she can be a pinup/sex symbol while gaining more notoriety.
2. I love how Lindsay calls Senator Clinton by her first name…”Hilary” because they’re best friends or something….sorority sisters maybe.
3. Aspiring to be a pinup is basically aspiring to be a lazy stripper. You just stand there, look kinda sexy, someone takes your picture and guys jerk off to it. What an aspiration. I wish she would’ve succeeded as a pinup because then we wouldn’t have to listen to her ramble on with her pointless interviews as a so-called actress.
4. Someone should take her to a gun range and use her as a human target because of this statement: Lohan is confident she can handle an Iraq trip on her own. "I'm not afraid of going," she says. "My security guard is going to take me to a gun range when I get back to L.A., and I'm going to start taking shooting lessons."
5. People with interesting personalities don’t want to emulate others. They develop their own iconic images.
6. One more thing…can somebody please tell me how watching Charles Manson specials on A&E has anything to with the desire to hold a handgun? [source]
