Too dumb to check: New Britney Spears video goofs on … Megyn Kelly
posted at 6:25 pm on March 12, 2009 by Allahpundit
Via reader Mike S., the top clip is Kelly’s segment in late January about the moronic pun in the title of Spears’s new song and the bottom is Britney’s new vid. Watch Megyn from 0:37 to 0:52 and then compare it to the first five seconds and the last five seconds of Spears. I’m not even sure it’s fair to call this a goof: Clearly they mean to knock Kelly for being disapproving and “uptight,” but it’s so brief that there’s no bite to it at all. They probably had a longer bit about it originally, had to edit it for time reasons, and didn’t have the good sense to just drop it entirely.
Of all the reporters for a pop-star sex symbol to invite side-by-side comparisons with, too. Note to Team Spears: This match-up does not favor you. What’s next? Britney dons a brunette wig and takes a shot at Julie Banderas?

this is too stupid to comment about…

This reminds me of the Dems hyperventilating because the word “Rats” was used in a Bush campaign commercial. Who cares?
Speedwagon82 on March 12, 2009 at 6:33 PM
Britney Spears is still alive?!? Holy crap.
madne0 on March 12, 2009 at 6:34 PM
She is a skank and her music sucks.
becki51758 on March 12, 2009 at 6:34 PM
It’s a goof. Even down to the flag flying behind the fake newscaster’s network name.
amerpundit on March 12, 2009 at 6:34 PM
Yeah, that’s the giveaway.
Allahpundit on March 12, 2009 at 6:35 PM
Wait, so she has hair again?
Techie on March 12, 2009 at 6:35 PM
I must be slow but I dont get it anyway.
becki51758 on March 12, 2009 at 6:35 PM
Britney has a birth certificate.
BHO Jonestown on March 12, 2009 at 6:35 PM
Those music business people are so clever.
myrenovations on March 12, 2009 at 6:35 PM
The woman in Megyn’s clip is crazy. Britney’s singing exactly what Megyn is trying to not spell out. Congrats to Megyn for explaining to parents what their kids are snickering about.
Marcus on March 12, 2009 at 6:36 PM
Well, it’s not as though we can expect biting and incisive satire from a bubble-gum popster who thinks “If You Seek Amy” is the soul of wit.
Ed Morrissey on March 12, 2009 at 6:36 PM
Oh, dear! Are you saying that Britney Spears is actually saying in her song what her whole image has been sold as for over 10 years???
HORRORS!
MadisonConservative on March 12, 2009 at 6:36 PM
Geez. Does Megyn have trailer trash tattoos too?
BacaDog on March 12, 2009 at 6:37 PM
ps: it does have a catchy beat and you can dance to it.
Marcus on March 12, 2009 at 6:37 PM
By the way…has it EVER occurred to certain people on Fox that doing a segment about something tends to only increase its popularity?
MadisonConservative on March 12, 2009 at 6:37 PM
Good thing we got the economy fixed so we can pay attention to crap like this………..

By the by, her voice is so computerized its disgusting.
How many times is the engineer going to Auto-Tune her voice?
blatantblue on March 12, 2009 at 6:40 PM
Still not as clever as an old April Wine song named: If You See Kay.
carbon_footprint on March 12, 2009 at 6:40 PM
What’s the fascination with dumb blondes?
Pithy, that.
Cody1991 on March 12, 2009 at 6:41 PM
Wow Brit, do that to Megyn Kelly’s face. I suspect she’d tear you a new arsehole, considering what she makes most politicians dissolve into whiny little puddles.
mjk on March 12, 2009 at 6:41 PM
whitrash says what?
29Victor on March 12, 2009 at 6:42 PM
Let’s see if Britney looks that good in 10 years.
Jim Treacher on March 12, 2009 at 6:42 PM
Yeah, half my motivation in writing this was to goad Kelly into interviewing someone from the label and going nuts in her patented Kellyish way.
Allahpundit on March 12, 2009 at 6:43 PM
Looks like she has gone the Courtney Love route.
Vigilante on March 12, 2009 at 6:44 PM
Clever. I hope it works.
carbon_footprint on March 12, 2009 at 6:44 PM
Hey, I admit it, I actually watched Kelly Clarkson sing “My life would suck without you” on American Idol last night, and that is much more classy than anything Spears has done.
kirkill on March 12, 2009 at 6:45 PM
Will AP be interviewed — his identity revealed?
blatantblue on March 12, 2009 at 6:49 PM
She’d have a tough time in a side-by-side comparison with almost any of the Fox News Foxes.
RightWinged on March 12, 2009 at 6:51 PM
I’m wracking my brain trying to come up with someone who would compare favorably with Britney… Oh! Oh! I know, Janeane Garofalo. Both are dumb as a shoe. both are has beens and both are consumed with self hatred.
davo on March 12, 2009 at 6:52 PM
Anyone hear Brit Knees’ new song? It goes “There once was a guy from Nantucket…“.
I think she’s going to do knock knock jokes next.
Or maybe Andrew Dice Clay material.
Class act.

Yeah, that’s roughly the level of sophistication. It’s the musical equivalent of that anti-Rush billboard. I cringe not because I’m offended but because whoever wrote thought it was clever.

Holy hannah! I am missing all these great songs! My teenager is only into Nine Inch Nails and stuff…..

It’s so processed she can hardly lip synch to it.

Yeah, but I go in for “Stray Cat Strut” which tells you how old I am…. sigh…
catlady on March 12, 2009 at 6:56 PM
Obama and Dems spend $1billion an hour, and we’re supposed to be surprised or shocked about Britney being a ho?
I want my $5million dollars of wasted time/money back
scottm on March 12, 2009 at 6:57 PM
The real question: How long before Tay Zonday covers the song?

Writing songs ala Mad Gabs game.
Isn’t she special. Up He Such Ease.
tru2tx on March 12, 2009 at 6:58 PM
She’s dumb enough to qualify as a cabinet choice for Obama. At least she’s paid her taxes. That alone makes her stand apart from the rest of the Dim One’s appointees.
jdflorida on March 12, 2009 at 7:01 PM
Allah,
I want the quote of the day from the Southpark season opener. Think about it ok? Four hundred posts, easy, especially with some of the regulars. Enough said.
catlady on March 12, 2009 at 7:01 PM
The court decided she’s a retard with a mental age of 5 and put her father in charge of her affairs…till the end of time, or until she runs out of money, whichever comes first. Oh, she was found unfit, and lost custody of her children as well, but she makes a fine role model for young ladies. On the upside at least now she wears panties whenever she thinks she might be exiting a car.
DFCtomm on March 12, 2009 at 7:04 PM
Well, even Van Halen has succumbed to this stunt. One of their cd’s is titled “For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge”. Get it? Yeah, i know, stupid.

Yes, because you enjoy the delicious irony that most of them said they would leave Hot Air about 384 outrageous posts of yours ago.

It’s so nice to not think about politics for a minute… ok, I’m back now…

She doesn’t look that good now!
blr2449 on March 12, 2009 at 7:16 PM
I’m sorry you guys think that. The only time I don’t mind being heckled in the comments is in the atheist threads.
Allahpundit on March 12, 2009 at 7:18 PM
But, I should add, I never resort to anything as incendiary as “Christians are retarded.”
Allahpundit on March 12, 2009 at 7:18 PM
Her next song is about a dancer named Seymour Butts, followed by a protest like song titled I.P. Freely.
Remember the song she sang about the guy she was with when she “accidentally” exposed herself? I think she named it after him . . .something like Mike . . . I can’t remember the last name though.
geckomon on March 12, 2009 at 7:19 PM

One Megyn Kelly is worth a thousand Britney Spears.

Ok, I didn’t mean to insult you or anything, really truly. At the risk of sounding like a real suck up, I appreciate the more provocative quotes because they make people think about what they believe and/or don’t believe in. But I will not admit that anymore, this was it, okay?
catlady on March 12, 2009 at 7:22 PM
Like the mattress dance that all the boys and girls want to do with Brittney? Well, except for me, I wouldn’t touch that with your Don’t Imbibe Cross Kick.
bikermailman on March 12, 2009 at 7:22 PM
Brit-brit’s kids are gonna be so proud one day. Just like Pam Anderson’s are. And Shauna Sands. Love Megyn Kelly though, when Romney is POTUS, MK should be Press Sec. That would be awesome.

bikermailman on March 12, 2009 at 7:24 PM
I’m totally not going to comment about this. Instead I’m commenting on the fact that Britney’s only fans are the one’s that thought Michael Jackson went soft in his older, more “petey pan-ish” type years.
Ugh son, that’s nasty.
leetpriest on March 12, 2009 at 7:26 PM
Republicans already tried to play that card, don’t try it on Christianity.
Apologist.
leetpriest on March 12, 2009 at 7:27 PM
Them, and the soft-minded, young, ignorant skulls full of mush. Sort of like President Ogabe’s fans.

Britney Spears is a pig and I don’t care. This is a topic on a blog that cares about this country? meh! What don’t I understand about all this stupid garbage?

catlady on March 12, 2009 at 7:32 PM
When I was a kid, there was a silly song full of double entendre going around (needs to be sung by a woman):
I want a man-
I want a man-
I want a man-
sion in the sky.
I want a piece,
I want a piece,
I want a piece
of apple pie.
and when the dam- dam- damage is done
I’m gonna have my child- my childish fun
in the mansion in the sky.
If you see Kay,
If you see Kay,
If you see Kay,
then tell her hi
. . .
yeah, Sofa King clever. Most of it wouldn’t even raise an eyebrow today.

quikstrike98 on March 12, 2009 at 7:37 PM
That’s weird, earlier I tried to post and was given the message, “You are not allowed to leave comments.”
Anyway, I think this is hilarious. Megyn Kelly–MEGAN KELLY–is being busted on by everyone’s favorite mentally incompetent, white trash fatass who can’t even find a husband who knows how to wear a baseball cap straight on his head. I’m sure Megyn is losing sooooo much sleep over Brittany goofing on her.
quikstrike98 on March 12, 2009 at 7:38 PM
The Pamela Anderson of vocalists.
viking01 on March 12, 2009 at 7:39 PM
Such clever lyrics — probably written by Jack Meoff.
cruadin on March 12, 2009 at 7:39 PM
I don’t have any problem with this being on the album. Sure it’s trite and trashy, but it’s no worse than other pop star’s trite, trashy work.
The problem is that it’s on the radio, and you guys all know that Britney has zero say in what songs are released as singles. Her agents, reps, and producers don’t ask her opinion on anything. She has the IQ of a grape. So why get mad at her? Take it up with the label.
Also? I wish I hadn’t heard that song. It’s annoyingly catchy.

Oh, those ever so hip liberals. They’re so clever. I wish we could be as cool as they are. Not!!! Maybe if I made $20 million a year, I wouldn’t mind giving half of my income away to the government. Btw, I admire Megyn Kelly even more now that she made Olberman’s Worst Person Ever list.
