Who knew Lindsay Lohan and Kim Kardashian were so politically minded?

In the wake up of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak's resignation on Friday, the 24-year-old actress expressed her joy over the country's plans for democracy on Twitter.

"Congratulations to the people of Egypt. Your voices were heard and you proved that peaceful demonstrations are possible and effective," Lohan tweeted. "And I pray Egypt maintains its treaty with Israel and sets the trend for its neighbors to create peace with Israel and the entire region."

Upon his resignation, Mubarak remanded control to the military, succumbing to 18 days of peaceful pro-democracy demonstrations.

Lohan isn't the only star celebrating the international event: Kardashian, 30, hailed it as a "historic day for Egypt! The people of Egypt made the regime step down. Now they can enjoy the freedom they deserve."

Perhaps more appropriately, President Barack Obama made a statement on Mubarak's shocking resignation during a press conference on Friday.

"The people of Egypt have spoken, their voices have been heard, and Egypt will never be the same," he said. "By stepping down, President Mubarak responded to the Egyptian people's hunger for change. But this is not the end of Egypt's transition; it's a beginning."

    Oh please, these two bimbos are so dam stupid, I just have to laugh at them. I'm surprised kimberly wasn't at the court house last week for another photo op, guess she was on the other coast boning that guy with the extra large hands.

    Lindsay and Kim are both clueless bimbos and have no business commenting on politics. Kim should stick to worrying about her looks, and Lindsay should stick to her lies and deceit.

    Please, like she wrote this. Some of these celebrities think their "public" is stupid. These two women would never do what they do over there.

    omg - now she's becoming a world ambassador! Somebody help her, she is delusional. Does she have a high school degree? Can she really write and spell? I'm betting the answer is "No".

    Seriously? Kim, who knows, mabye she came up with that on her own, she didn't say anything to over the top. But as for Lohan, I am certain someone tweeted that for her. She needs some good PR, something to make her seem like she has a clue. I do not beleive she came up with all that on her own.

    Wow, Lindsay clearly missed what was happening on TV. The protests started off peaceful, but when the law stepped in it turned to chaos. They basically ripped Egypt apart!
