Heidi Montag Plans Iraq Trip

Good Lord, our troops are being asked to endure a lot lately.

Extended deployments. The constant danger of IEDs.

And now, Heidi Montag.

OK! Magazine reports that Montag—recently seen in the company of Presidential candidate John McCain's daughter Meghan and a small arsenal of weapons—is planning a trip to Iraq.

Montag, whose stepbrother was an airborne ranger in Afghanistan and Iraq and died in March in an unrelated accident, says, "It's very important to me and important to [boyfriend/puppet master] Spencer [Pratt] to support the troops and go over there."

Honey, if your plan to "entertain" the troops involves singing to them, the Walter Reed Army Medical Center's going to open a whole new post-traumatic stress wing.

“Ha! It's America's secret weapon for fighting terrorist forces. We're sending in an irritating agent known as "Speidi," which will be used as a biological warfare intended to annoy our enemies to death.

For real though, gun nuts Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt really do want to take their two-headed blond monster to Iraq. Purportedly, these two told Extra that they want to "entertain the troops," but I can't possibly imagine what these two are capable of doing that can be deemed as entertaining. Unless they're going to allow the troops to use them for target practice. That might elicit a chuckle or two. Most likely, Heidi will offer to bang the whole lot of them, if they slip her enough Mai-Tais.

Personally, if they really gave a sh*t about their country, they'd use themselves as human mine sweepers. Hell, that might be entertaining to watch as well. Kill two idiots birds with one mine stone.”

“Heidi Montag and on-and-off-again fiance Spencer Pratt spoke with Extra! about their upcoming trip to the Middle East. Here’s what The Hills couple had to say:

Heidi on her stepbrother being killed in the Iraq War and her plans to perform for American troops stationed in the Middle East: My brother was an airborne ranger in Afghanistan and Iraq. It’s very important to me and important to Spencer to support the troops and go over there.”

Spencer on the photo shoot they had with guns: “We went once, it’s not like we’re rolling around with guns… guns are not a toy. We don’t promote guns. We were under supervision of three trained professionals.”

Heidi on her friendship with presidential hopeful Senator John McCain’s daughter, Meghan: “She’s very sweet. We have a lot in common.” (Spencer adds, “I think Meghan McCain is helping organize Heidi and our Iraq trip. Her dad definitely has some pull with the military. I think she’s going to put that together for us.”)

Spencer on the couple’s upcoming video game: “We’re eventually going to have our videogame that UBI-Soft is going to design for us sold at Kitson…it’s top secret…get ready. All your wildest dreams are going to be in it.”

Heidi on her clothing line, Heidiwood: “It’s selling really well. It’s one of the #1 selling celebrity clothing lines.””

You go to war with the half-wit reality TV star you have, not the one you want.

I can't believe they're sending her. What's entertaining about her? Is she borderline witty?
