Spears vs. Palin
Why does former tabloid queen Bonnie Fuller think Britney Spears is "more civilized" than Sarah Palin? Because she reads, or so says Fuller: "Criticize Britney all you want for her bad choices in men and her barefoot trips to public restrooms, but you can’t accuse her of not reading. As any tabloid fan will attest, Britney has routinely been photographed carrying books—from, ahem, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to Conversations With God: An Uncommon Dialogue—Book 1." Well, that settles that! [NYT/The Moment]
