Karl Rove's dream voter
Britney Spears has waded into the deep areas of kissing Madonna and the war with Iraq in an interview with Crossfire's Tucker Carlson. Let me just reprint this Yahoo! Launch story in full:
Now, I've supported the president on multiple policy fronts, but doesn't this seem a bit too.... er.... bubblegum as a form of political participation? I mean, compared to her advanced work in semiconductor physics, this is a bit of a letdown in intellectual quality. Still, if I'm Karl Rove, I'm arranging a photo-op ASAP. Comments: Indeed. Although, to be fair, I'd be willing to kiss Madonna--or even Britney--if it'll get Bush reelected. posted by: James Joyner on 09.05.03 at 09:09 AM [permalink]There ya go. Take one for the Grand Old Party! Where do I sign up? :) posted by: cannon on 09.05.03 at 09:09 AM [permalink]Hmmm. Britney maybe, but not Madonna. What if our dentures locked? That'd be embarrassing. posted by: McGehee on 09.05.03 at 09:09 AM [permalink]Britney doesn't have to be smart about anything except selling Britney. I bet most of her fans are red county high school and junior high girls with Republican parents. Just don't let her kiss W. The pictures would hurt him with his base. posted by: Lexington Green on 09.05.03 at 09:09 AM [permalink]Heck, if it would get the President reelected, I'd kiss Karl Rove. posted by: Ryan Booth on 09.05.03 at 09:09 AM [permalink]What are you doing here, Daniel? Trolling for hits? (You got me!!!!) posted by: Roger L. Simon on 09.05.03 at 09:09 AM [permalink]i don't think mr. drezner needs to troll for hits (he gets instalanched enough). his blog is emblematic of his teaching style: varying, well-informed, and fun. and come on, he digs salma hayek. did you seriously google +"britney spears" +"madonna" +"president" to see if nothing came up, roger, or looking for something to come up? ;) i kid but we maroons gotta stick together. as if we had school spirit. posted by: patrick on 09.05.03 at 09:09 AM [permalink]Even *I* wouldn't kiss Madonna. And that's saying sumpin', folks! posted by: Greg Hammers on 09.05.03 at 09:09 AM [permalink]Where kissing Madonna is concerned, I follow the Cheap Trick advice: "Stay away, you never know what you'll catch." posted by: Glenn Reynolds on 09.05.03 at 09:09 AM [permalink]Instapundit a Cheap Trick fan!? That tips it; I'd be willing to kiss Reynolds to get Bush re-elected, hell, I'd even kiss Lileks, who, judging from that blog photo, has the most secure marriage in the midwest. posted by: T. Marcell on 09.05.03 at 09:09 AM [permalink]I'd stoop so low as to kiss Hillary Clinton to get Bush re-elected. Top that! posted by: Buster on 09.05.03 at 09:09 AM [permalink]Hot three-way action with Janet Reno and Madeline Albright, to get Bush re-elected. Everyone now go and disinfect your monitors. posted by: Joe on 09.05.03 at 09:09 AM [permalink]I don't like where this trend in the comments section is heading. Please, in the name of all that is good, don't go there. Think about the children. Oh, won't somebody please think about the children posted by: Dan Drezner on 09.05.03 at 09:09 AM [permalink]Children...look away: Hot menage with me, Shalala and Mikulski! posted by: politicaobscura on 09.05.03 at 09:09 AM [permalink]re comments by politicaobscura: Oh. My. God. and Ewww. posted by: Garrett on 09.05.03 at 09:09 AM [permalink]Not even a Lisa Kudrow-esque triple "ew!" with extra flinching could do that one justice. posted by: McGehee on 09.05.03 at 09:09 AM [permalink]Great photo. But honestly, she is probably more informed about politics than 99% of the freshmen class here at Brown University. posted by: Alex Carnevale on 09.05.03 at 09:09 AM [permalink]"...but doesn't this seem a bit too.... er.... bubblegum as a form of political participation?... a bit of a letdown in intellectual quality. " You seem surprised that she made a bubbagum statement! She IS bubbagum! She has her image and, ummmm...she has her image. I would certainly kiss Sean Penn if it meant George W. Bush were NOT elected (I don't say re-elected, because as we all know Al Gore was elected president in 2000). Send him back to Texas where he belongs. He's definitely the worst president ever. posted by: Elmo on 09.05.03 at 09:09 AM [permalink]If Britney Spears is speaking ON BEHALF of our rocket scientist president, then, this should be a call to all with brains to RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNN!!!
