Harry Reid, Pop Culture Barometer

Tags: Harry Reid, Britney Spears


I’m not sure if this really portends anything at all about the immediate future of America, but the new leader of the now-Democratic Senate, Nevada’s Harry Reid, has some thoughts about Britney Spears. The following bomb was dropped two paragraphs into a New York Times profile on the 66-year-old Mormon politician:

"He spent most of the momentous day in his Senate office, waiting. Just after 2 p.m., he finally heard some actual news: Britney Spears was filing for divorce. 'Britney Spears,' Mr. Reid said, shaking his head. 'She loses a little weight, and now she’s getting all cocky about things.' He added, 'Britney has gotten her mojo back.”



This is truly an exciting time for America. Maybe Nancy Pelosi can weigh in on whether or not Justin Timberlake is truthfully bringing sexy back, as he claims.

Perhaps Harry Reid is displaying the same sardonic wit with which you, JohnnyFu, are so well endowed.

I, for one, am just glad Timberlake is finally bringing sexy back.

Justin Timberlake's sexy song fried my XM Satellite radio. I'm not very happy with him right now. I suppose that's what I get for testing that music channel. I should have been listening to the punk rock stuff instead, right? wink

Huh. This is one of those weird stories that seems like it could go in Music, Culture, or Politics, but doesn't really seem to fit perfectly in any of them.

I really wish he'd bring all the missing socks back.

I'm sure you wouldn't want them in their present condition.

Ew. They probably have the 'sexy' all over them.

So... anyone with an agenda, axe to grind, or off-kilter and oft-innapropriate sense of sarcasm can be a Politics Editor around here?

As a Las Vegan I'm wondering why Harry's shilling for The Palms. MGM/Mirage has deeper pockets.

Rumor has it she's going ala Celine Dion/Elton John and will get her own show/theater at the aforementioned off-Strip resort.
