Miss Teen USA 2007 - South Carolina answers a question

1. It's dirty pool to spotlight a teenager. This young lady is maybe smarter than I was at her age. It's just that this is 60 seconds of cliched fun.

2. I object to the inane question:
"Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can't locate the U.S. on a map. Why do you think this is?"

My fantasy answer:

Miss Teen S.Car:
That is an inane question. Via our public school system, we tried to force geographic education on that 20%. They chose not to learn, and we chose not to penalize them. If we want 100% compliance, we can institute the death penalty, and then more people will comply. Further, through attrition, we can guarantee 100% statistical compliance. The producers of this pageant will no longer have feel liberal guilt over that 20%. Sheesh. I can't wait for the Miss America pageant. This teen thing is bull.
