Put a male in her place, Salon. Would you still post an article about how horrible it is that the nation is laughing at this person? I highly doubt it. Her answer wasn't just off, it was nonsensical! It doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it, no matter what the question was. She spewed out some buzz words. She's in a contest that's supposed to be about judging her on many aspects, one of which being her coherence. She failed more miserably than any other contestant in history at that moment. So we get to point and laugh, not because she fits the mold of the stereotypical dumb blond, but because she made herself look like a complete idiot on national TV. If we can't laugh at that without feeling guilty for keeping women down, then go ahead and put me in the cold hearted male chauvinist pig category so I can go on living without the guilt.
Come on Salon, I know its a female-centric portion of your site, but this is something that's OK to laugh at. Don't make it a feminist issue. (And for the record, if it were me up there, I would expect the world to be laughing at me, and I would roll with it because its not that big of a deal.)
