Most Smartest: Miss Teen South Carolina
Dear Sweet Baby Jesus,
Please continue to deliver unto me precious gifts like the one I discovered today — a clip from the Miss Teen USA pageant that kind of makes one wonder, “Oh really? It’s a scholarship competition?”
I’m not quite sure what kind of scholarship Miss South Carolina was competing for, but I’m thinking that the only school this young lady could get into would be McDonald’s Hamburger University. But then on second thought, I don’t even know that this girl could find her way around a sesame seed bun.
When MC Mario Lopez asked, “Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can’t locate the U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is?” Miss Teen South Carolina incoherently responded:
I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uhmmm, some people out there in our nation don’t have maps and uh, I believe that our, I, education like such as uh, South Africa, and uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, uhhh, our education over here in the US should help the US, uh, should help South Africa, it should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future, for us.
You know that you might be in trouble when A.C. Slater even looks at you with incredulity.

Forget about McDonald’s Hamburger University. Anyone who can speak that incoherently can go to Yale, be a “C” student and later become president!!
She actually reminded me of President Bush.
So watch out for this girl. She’ll be commander and chief soon enough.
AMERICA, FUCK YEAH !
Gonna save the mutha fuckin day, YEAH!
Wow. Simply “wow”!
I assume she didn’y win!
I’d like to see anyone stand up in front on a national audience during a competition, get asked a somber, serious question about a massively complex issue, and come up with an happy, upbeat answer in 30 seconds without getting flustered.
Even the President of the United States can’t do it. And most of the questions he’s asked are vetted before they are allowed to be asked. And he has numerous spin doctors to follow up the next day and explain what he really meant to say. Caitlin Upton is, what, 16 or 17 years old and pretty much on her own.
What she should have said?
“Because Americans in general place a very low value on having a good education and have little interest in things outside our own country. I’m frankly surprised the number isn’t higher than 1/5th.”
But that’s hardly the perky, upbeat and “I want to work for World Peace” type of answers desired from beauty contestants.
