According to an email obtained by the New York Post, troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan plans to enlist the help of former Vice President Al Gore in her upcoming war with the press:

December 7, 2006 -- LINDSAY Lohan is preparing to clean up her image and go to war with the media with the help of a high-powered friend - former Vice President Al Gore.
"Al Gore will help me. He came up to me last night and said he would be very happy to have a conversation with me," Lohan wrote last week in a rambling, semi-literate e-mail to her friends and lawyers.

In the bizarre message read by Page Six, Lohan burbled, "If he is willing to help me, let's find out. Hilary [sic] Clinton, Bill Clinton, and Evan Metroplis [sic], and John Daur who works with them would be willing, if we just ask. If we just ASK."

Lohan was apparently inspired to send out the e-mail by a Page Six item on her "mean girls diva fit" at a GQ magazine party in L.A. Referring to a supermarket tabloid report claiming she had overdosed on drugs, she wrote, "Let's sue the tabloids for saying the things they say. Defamation of character."

So, Gore-Lohan '08? If that doesn't fire up the activist base, nothing will.

Repeating the tabloid meme of how stupid and ditzy and immoral a troubled ex-Disney girl is day and night ad nauseum... now there's the real story: how the Mouse chews up and spits out girls and young women, especially when they have a probable mental illness. The list is long and the serious data exists to support a classic Marxist-feminist critique of corporado cult-ure and its destruction of women. Otherwise, keep the tabloid crap to yourself, even if Al Gore gets involved.

The girl has some serious problems but, the press is not to blame for them. When she stops behaving badly, the press will leave her alone. The tabloids rarely report on "girls behaving well."
