Lindsey Lohan wants to go to Iraq to perform for the troops.
There is nothing wrong with her wanting to go to Iraq to boost morale. That's kind of cool.
Here is where it gets weird. She goes on to say:
"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."
Her aspiration in life was to be a "beautiful sex kitten" and a "pinup". That's it?
And weirder yet:
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."
Does she realize there is a stark difference between carrying a gun for self-defense in The South Bronx at night, and being in the middle of a war zone? Although I think I would worry about her in the South Bronx...
