TMZ on insanity patrol

Poor TMZ crew. While waiting for Britney Spears to show up and actually enter the courthouse for an important child custody hearing, they've gotten a little slap-happy. They've set up for a late afternoon news conference expected to be conducted by K-Fed's attorney, and while waiting for him they've begun interviewing some weirdo wearing a dollhouse on his head as some sort of comment about his inability to pay his mortgage. Somebody even asked him who he supports in the presidential race. You could almost hear the candidates collectively muttering, "Please say Alan Keyes." This guy -- and those reporters and photographers who are encouraging his showboating -- are making the cracked-up Ms. Spears look pretty freaking level-headed.
