Md. First Lady: She Would 'Shoot Britney Spears'
WKMG-TV/DT Orlando ^ | 10.7.03

FREDERICK, Md. -- A spokeswoman for Maryland's first lady, Kendel Ehrlich, says the governor's wife made an "inadvertent figure of speech" last Friday when she spoke about shooting singer Britney Spears.

Ehrlich was speaking at a domestic violence prevention conference at Frederick's Hood College when she commented on the need to educate young women so they won't be dependent on others.

In remarks taped by WFMD Radio, the first lady said, "If I had an opportunity to shoot Britney Spears, I think I would."

"As a working mother raising a 4-year-old son, the first lady has concerns about the negative influences that the entertainment industry can have on young children and teenagers," said Ehrlich's spokeswoman Meghann Siwinski in a statement on Tuesday. "During a public appearance, she inadvertently used a figure of speech to express those concerns."

Ehrlich has declined, through her spokeswoman, to comment further.

No!!! I am sick to death of watching my every word. I won't be OVER SENSITIVE TO EVERY SINGLE WORD I SAY!!

It is ok for Black people to have a BLACK CAUCUS.. but if I had a WHITE CAUCUS.. we'd have a riot.

I can't say I'm GAY anymore.. which would mean I was HAPPY in my younger days.. because a group of people have decided to dedicate it to the way they have sex!!

A RAINBOW "USED" TO HAVE RELIGIOUS SIGNIFICANCE.... FROM THE BIBLE.. but now it is a HOMOSEXUAL FLAG!!!

SO NO!!!!!!!
If I want to say "I could just SHOOT my Mom for saying something" I will.

IF I STUBB MY TOE AND SAY "SHOOT"... It doesn't mean fire your weapon!! It is a figure of speech. One we used to use YEARS ago. It meant nothing then, it means nothing now. We had a TON less shootings back then and People were less paranoid back then too.

I am sick to death of PC words!!

LOL. Would you please stop yelling at us.

2 points.

(1) too bad Kendell Ehrlich didn't read your post about the passing of common sense prior to her making the comments. Using that expression in a domestic violence speech is pretty stupid under any circumstances; that is, it exhibits a lack of common sense.

(2) You are being politically correct by saying "Shoot" because you really mean "Sh!t". You don't seem to have a problem saying what you mean the rest of the time, why then when you stub your toe?

I've ALWAYS hated the analogy that you can HEAR printed words.

I type in CAPS for emphasis.

BTW, I don't use cuss words in this house. I raised little kids, and have grandkids. Big difference regarding PC words, and FILTHY cuss words, like the "F" word, IMHO.
