That was really wonderful and has stuck with me ever since I saw it. He explained it very well and handled the audience beautifully while they seemed to still be thinking he was 'doing a bit'.
It came just as I had a similar epiphany about Ms. Spears. As he said, she's just a baby. Her whole life, pushed into the spotlight by her parents, a millionaire as a teenager, constant media attention and public scrutiny - it's really no wonder that she cracked.
I found it over at www.dooce.com, and dooce (heather) made another strong observation. Jayden is only 5 months old, and that's a mental adjustment. But there's also the physical- Ms Britney is going through the incredible flux of postpardem hormones. From what I've heard from recent mothers, a little bit o'the crazy is perfectly natural for that time period.
add that to being 25 and on your second divorce.... PLUS the media coverage, i echo your sentiment "it's really no wonder that she cracked".
I feel for the girl, I really do. I can't say all her choices have been great ones, but then again... at 25... i wasn't doing much better.
