Keep this in mind for the future when she's stumping for some cause or other. She can't muster an opinion about the biggest story of the past 50 years, but she'll want us to think that she's an expert on global warming or overpopulation or some other complex subject.

The girl has 2 brain cells. They are chasing each other in a fight for supremacy. What did you expect? I don't look to pop stars (especially nauseating pop) for intelligent, well-informed opinions on world events.

I can see the blank look in Boobney's face as she tried to calculate the right answer in her head - "If I say yes, it might hurt foreign sales, but if I say no it might hurt domestic sales. I don't know what to do!!!"

I'm pretty happy with this response considering it came from a third-rate teenage pop star speaking about U.S. policy to what is essentially a socialist audience.

When her current gig dries up, she'll be able to find a home at Foggy Bottom.

I'm no fan, but I think her response here was totally appropriate. She's entitled to keep her opinions about politics to herself. Would that all the other pop celebrities know when to keep quiet.

Now wait a dog gone minute. She may be a millionaire, but she is only 19. And I would rather have a celeb who doesn't have a clue and doesn't volunteer it versus a Barbara Strisand who proves she doesn't have a clue every day by opening her big yap. Can't we pick on more deserving dip wads -- say like those two little sh!ts what's their names -- Damon and the other guy who went into rehab?

"She didn't elaborate, keeping the extent of her knowledge of U.S. foreign policy under wraps." Correctly stated, that reads: She didn't elaborate, conveying the ture extent of her knowledge of U.S. foreign policy.

The barometric pressure in her head is so low that she experiences her own personal hurricanes.
Dumber than a box of rocks, but way better looking!
Even Bob Dole doesn't need the blue pills when she's around.

Funny how when she was saying nice things about Pres. Bush, lots of people here approved:

Like, wow, but Britney is the NINTH MOST POWERFUL WOMAN in the United States according to Ladies Home Journal, like, Laura Bush is ranked only 29th and Condi Rice is like, "WHO?" Condi didn't even rank! No WAY, like her handlers must have forgotten to turn on her ear mike so she could be told what to say. Otherwise the NINTH MOST POWERFUL WOMAN in the United States would have something really deep to say, like, save the whales or something...

The news here is that the Tribune Star should be embarassed for hiring such a numbskull reporter for thinking that Britney Spears opinion on global politics is actually worth writing about.
BTW, any pictures?

Not surprising. Like most Hollywood types, she doesn't know or care about anything that doesn't revolve around her exclusively.
I think the clinical term is
narcissism. It's a common malady among stars, but most do a better job of concealing it.
Ask her about her hair, her new record, or her latest boyfriend and she'll respond coherently.
Ask about anything outside of her self-centered world and you get a blank look.

That's right, make a record-keep your memories, someday soon enough there is going to be an accounting and when you make your charges be sure to have the empirical data.

How cruel! Asking a beautiful blonde singer a question that requires thought.

What kind of buffoon would ask Britney Spears her opinion on foreign affairs? That's like the interviewer who prompted that moron Marge Schott for her opinions about Hitler's influence on the German economy.

It's easy for reporters to catch someone off guard by throwing in cute questions that have no bearing on the matter at hand, or on which the person being interviewed has never claimed any expertise. I am sure she was expecting pertinent questions about her new album or other teenage stuff. Why on earth would a reporter even pose such a question?
To: John Jorsett
Frankly, who cares? She's a pop "singer" for crying out loud. What obligation does she have to inform herself on this issue? She's also 19 years old. You know how many 19 year olds have a clearly defined position on this war? What the hell kind of response did this reporter think he/she would get? Smells like a set-up to embarrass her. From the responses on this thread I would say it was successful. All-in-all a complete non-event.
