Surely even the Americans aren't stupid enough to ever vote her in? Though I wouldn't put money on it...

Britney Spears has offered a glimpse into how the world might be if she were president of the United States during an appearance on the David Letterman show.

Perched on a desk wearing only a black bikini and a flower in her hair, the blonde singer reeled off a top 10 list of ways the country would be different if she took the reins of power.

Among her suggestions were "free pie for everybody", "we would only invade fun places like Cabo", and that she would be "the first president to wear eye shadow since Nixon".

The 27-year-old also suggested that rapper P Diddy become vice president and that the US should install a nightclub on the moon within the decade.

She received the biggest crowd reaction when she suggested that "America might have a more coherent fiscal strategy."

Spears also drew laughter as she topped her list saying: "Finally, the media would pay some attention to me."

Letterman appeared amused by Spears's performance, regularly commenting on her shifts from right leg to left leg and laughing along with her comical outlook.

Spears hits the road again this week for her Circus tour, on which she will be joined by opening acts Jordin Sparks, Kristinia DeBarge, Girlicious and One Call.

After a triumphant run through Europe, she has taken the last week to relax before she heads to Canada for the start of her next tour leg.

Next week she takes her show to New York for three shows at Madison Square Garden.

Top 10 Ways The Country Would Be Different If Britney Spears Were President:

10. I'd be the first president to wear eye shadow since Nixon

9. We would only invade fun places like Cabo

8. Free pie for everybody

7. My situation room would be a cabana at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas

6. I'd lure Osama out of hiding with the irresistible scent of my new fragrance "Circus Fantasy"

5. Every presidential news conference would feature costume changes

4. America might have a more coherent fiscal strategy

3. Challenge US to put nightclub on the moon by the end of the decade

2. Three words: Vice President Diddy

1. Finally, the media would pay some attention to me

No more weekly address, probably replaced with weekly 'up skirt'.

Life would be easier for comics, almost like the halycon days of Bushdom.

Live speeches ratings would go up, getting much needed advertsing revenue for the TV stations, as the world watches for what will be called "Live Clusterfuck" moments.

Ah, I see what you've done here. You've confused a comedy sketch on an entertainment show with politics.

Jibes at the American electorate aside, we've returned Dana as MEP and Jackie Healy-Rae numerous times.

Healy-Rea is a sketch and I would rather live in Spearsland than listen to that ridiculous, pocket-lining, gutless, spineless, useless mockery of a human being.

He is the object of my deepest hatred. The only thing that makes me more embarassed to be Irish is the fact that there are so many idiots who insist on voting him back in year after year after year ...

Dana can lick the underside of my ballix too - evangelist witch.

Does the above not seem ridiculously out of place when compared to her other statements?

Irish people are in no position to laugh at other countries electorates. On the grand scale we're the thickest pig sh*t going.

Obviously she'd just be another toy for the New World Order. It's all explained in the conspiracy theories forum guys. Even Lady Gaga is a NWO conspirator! http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055654211

I can't see that in work cos it is blocked. I meant sounds intelligent written down. I doubt she makes it sound intelligent.

Only in the sense that it was her younger sister who got pregnant, not her younger daughter.
