Somebody needs to control their wife.

I've only seen a couple of news articles on this topic (this the one where Maryland governer Ehrlich's idiot wife said she wanted to shoot Britney Spears), but I haven't seen anything about public reaction to it, so I don't know if I'm making arguments that have already been made, but, here goes anyway.

This bitch is way off base. Not only does she say it, but she barely manages an apology. What's worse, a pop singer who can't get into your house and into your little girl's CD rack unless you let them, or a flippant little ignoramus posing as a responsible member of political and social society?

Mrs. Ehrlich did more to hurt anything with one phrase than Miss Spears has done in her entire career. The difference, you small example of humanity gone bad (I'm addressing Mrs. Ehrlich here), is that you are supposed to be responsible, while Miss Spears is simply an entertainer.

Children are primarily influenced by their parents, or a lack thereof. It's a proven fact. Maybe the reason that Mrs. Ehrlich is so scared of what she'd do if she had a daughter is because for one little moment in her irrelevent life she was able to recognize the truth about something. Which, in this case, is that she is a completely incompetent mother.

"Shooting someone" may be, in the worthless words of Ehrlich's spokesperson, a "figure of speech," but it is a violent figure of speech that just got a boost from a person who is in the public eye as someone who is supposed to uphold social values. What a dumb bitch. Unbelievable, the whole thing amazes me. The only reason this fool is in the public eye is because of her husband anyway. First Ladies should be brought together in a room and explained, with the careful patience of a kindergarten teacher, how to act in such a way as to not fuck anything up. Their role is strictly to be a face, not to have an opinion. And if chicks like this Ehrlich keep it up, they'll screw up the works for everyone.

I'm sorry, this isn't the best essay. But I'm supposed to be working and I don't want to get fined or anything. Bottom line, Mrs. Ehrlich, don't be such a fucking tool. Keep your trap shut. It's too bad her publicists weren't able to convince her to really apologize and to stop making light of the situation. It is a big deal, she did fuck up, and she is a million times worse than the person she criticized.

Dumbass.
