Miss dumb blond USA? Our national embarrassment over a South Carolina teenage contestant's world knowledge.
  • At even your most nervous...

    ...have you ever ended a sentance with 'such as.'?

    Although there have been some doozies (particularly from GW Bush and Mr. Perot) let's be honest and admit that no president or presidential hopeful has ever, ever displayed such stupidity during a debate.

    Why are these girls answering questions anyway? Is it adding some legitimacy to the creepy title of Ms. Teen USA? Why can't a beauty pagent just reward beauty?

    The 'I was nervous' excuse rings a little hollow. Does someone who displays themselves in a suimsuit on television really seem like the kind who would succumb to nerves? Of course, I think she did hear the question. After all, she answered with the insight that some U.S. Americans simply don't have maps.
