Hit her, baby, one more time

MTV hired Britney Spears to make an ass of herself and she sadly complied. The humiliation continues.

    Okay....

    Okay, I'm confused. Why is Chriss Angel described as a "magician" in quotation marks, which implies that the author thinks he's not, (I mean, isn't that actually what he does for a living?), when Brit is referred to as a young musician, no quotation marks, apparently without a trace of irony? Angel may be "super-skeevy"--I haven't a clue, and I couldn't care less--but I'm pretty sure he actually does perform magic tricks as a career. Poor batshit crazy Britney on the other hand is not, never has been, and never will be a musician. She was a puppet. Now she's just a pathetic has-been.
