Lindsay Lohan has voiced her dislike for US vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin.

In a joint statement with rumoured girlfriend Samantha Ronson on her blog, Lohan questioned Palin's suitability for a prominent role in government.

"I really cannot bite my tongue anymore when it comes to Sarah Palin," she wrote. "I find it quite interesting that a woman who now is running to be second in command of the United States only four years ago had aspirations to be a television anchor, which is probably all she is qualified to be."

Lohan also blasted Palin for her views on homosexuality: "Is it a sin to be gay? Should it be a sin to be straight? Or to use birth control? Or to have sex before marriage? Or even to have a child out of wedlock?

"Is our country so divided that the Republicans' best hope is a narrow-minded, media-obsessed homophobe?"

Pink, Pamela Anderson and Matt Damon recently criticised the politician.
