Britney Spears took time out from her hectic schedule this week to appear on David Letterman’s Late Show, hosting the popular ‘Top 10’ segment.

The singer starred in Tuesday night’s episode of the show, in a pre-recorded video where she counted down the top 10 ways in which the United States would be better if she were president. Perched on the edge of a desk wearing nothing but a tiny black bikini, she mocked both previous presidential candidates and herself in the skit.

Her make-believe campaign promises included “being the first president to wear eye-shadow since Nixon”, “free pie for everyone” and having P Diddy as her vice president. Her appearance was very well received by both Letterman and the audience. The biggest laugh was gained, ironically, from the most serious of all her statements: “America might have a more coherent fiscal strategy”.

Perhaps Britney is the way to go in these tough times. We’ve seen her hit rock bottom (several times) and rise back up again. Maybe she could do a good job as president! Although, maybe the free pie for everyone might not be such a good idea in America…
