Every so often we like to hack check into Randy’s and Fenton’s email to see what they’re up to and today we found this exchange regarding last night’s hourlong Dateline interview with Britney Spears.

Randy: It’s crazy – Britney does her first interview (since her water broke) and she’s wearing Daisy Dukes, her mascara is smeared, AND she’s chewing her cud! (while Matt Lauer leads the cow out to pasture!). UNBELIEVABLE.

Fenton: My take was Matt Lauer was filling in for Katie Couric. He didn’t care about anything other than getting her to cry. Over and over. It was that brand of kinder gentler cruelty that Katie practiced with such surgical precision.

If you didn’t see what they’re talking about, we grabbed some highlights for you, which you can access here. (But why, in the name of all that’s holy, didn’t someone fix that clump of mascara that looks like a dead fly stuck to her right eye?)
