FREDERICK, Md. -- A spokeswoman for Maryland's first lady, Kendel Ehrlich, says the governor's wife made an "inadvertent figure of speech" last Friday when she spoke about shooting singer Britney Spears.

Ehrlich was speaking at a domestic violence prevention conference at Frederick's Hood College when she commented on the need to educate young women so they won't be dependent on others.

In remarks taped by WFMD Radio, the first lady said, "If I had an opportunity to shoot Britney Spears, I think I would."

"As a working mother raising a 4-year-old son, the first lady has concerns about the negative influences that the entertainment industry can have on young children and teenagers," said Ehrlich's spokeswoman Meghann Siwinski in a statement on Tuesday. "During a public appearance, she inadvertently used a figure of speech to express those concerns."

Ehrlich has declined, through her spokeswoman, to comment further.

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[As i mentioned, the B/C & JD! lists are going to float into and out of whack over the forseeable future, while I try to cobble a rig back together for myself. My apologies for any incovenience or misunderstandings in this time frame. New signups/removals may be flaky in this time-frame as well; please bear with me, and keep in mind you may have to FReepmail me more than once for me to get it done. Thanks again!]

Wow... That never goes over smoothly if your a wife of a politician.

That never goes over smoothly if your a wife of a GOP politician.

She's a class act. I've heard the sound bite many times here on the local news. It was not a smart thing to say, but she'll learn from it, I'm sure.

If bladwin can stone Hyde to death, then I guess she can shoot Spears.

'specially in the People's Republic of Maryland

I forget who said this the other day, but it's a great quote: Brittney is so overrated that I suspect she's really a black quarterback.

Oh, I see - so Brittany is a negative influence (which I don't deny) to young people, but a Governor's wife publicly stating that she would shoot Brittany if she had the chance ISN'T a bad message?

Oops.

I met Kendel at a horse show last week. She's a babe! She looks a lot like Laura Ingraham (sp?). Of course it's not at all relevant to the post, but I thought her babeness should be pointed out.

many a male has thought the same thing... albeit the weapon would be less dangerous.

Interesting, her choice of target.

Not at all. Slutney Spears is a horrible influence on little girls.

For some strange reason I feel like bookmarking this thread.

This angry white female should be taken to a Thought and Speech sensitivity camp and whipped within an inch of her life. How could she say such a thing? Harumph. sarcasm off...
