[Reid] 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.
Alrighty then. A couple years ago, I was sitting among Peace Corps friends in a far away land and we were pouring over the stacks of various trash magazines that had been sent to us. The news of Spears' recent nuptials were all over the covers, and we started taking casual bets on how long the lovebirds would last. I bet two years. Oh, yes.“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.”
