perfidy

Loyal reader "Atomzooey" emails with this excerpt from an interview with Britney Spears (remember her?) by CNN hack Tucker Carlson:

CARLSON: A lot of entertainers have come out against the war in Iraq. Have you? 

SPEARS: Honestly, I think we should just trust our president in every decision that he makes and we should just support that, you know, and be faithful in what happens. 

CARLSON: Do you trust this president? 

SPEARS: Yes, I do. 

CARLSON: Excellent. Do you think he's going to win again? 

SPEARS: I don't know. I don't know that.

Thoughts that leap to mind like a thousand eager Freshman to a freshly tapped kegga Bud:

• Hear that sound? That's CNN, gasping for air like an unwanted dogfish on the deck of a Gloucester swordboat.
• This President can't lose, now that Britney Spears has delivered the all-important pre-teen vote!
• I'm impressed-- unlike Sean Penn, who appears smarter, Britney Spears know when she should shut up.
• I think that from this day forward, anyone who wishes to publicly discuss the President and his policies should first tongue-kiss Madonna. And enjoy it.

[update] Or Christina Aguilera. And enjoy it. Where do I sign up?

[moreover] Britney thinks we should "trust our President in every decision that he makes." Remember what I said yesterday about Rich Lowry? Well, I might have been wrong about him being craven. He might just be ignorant instead.
