Now, you trying teaching these people at America's fine public universities. At least we have maps!

Ouchie, my brain hurts.

Uhm...

That was too painful; I just couldn't watch the whole thing.

She kind of forgot what country she was in... seems rather important for Miss USA...

I'm sure she was nervous and obviously knows that she botched the question. But, at this point, I just feel badly for her. I mean, the freakin' traffic and weather person on local news was doggin' her out this morning. That's pretty far-reaching humiliation.

I don't want to be overly apologetic for her completely rambling non-answer. But, sheesh, it's one thing to be embarrased on national television. It's another to become the watercooler joke of the day!

Poor girl.

I hear what you're saying PP-Gary, but she said "The Iraq".

Here's another clip of her answering after she'd had some practice.

Don't worry...It's okay to be a moron as long as your pretty sweetie...>:(

Oh, the poor dear. I caught that "Today" clip this morning and I have to give her props for showing up and trying to rectify herself. But seriously...What do "The Iraq" and South Africa have to do with anything?

I want to know what Miss Tween USA contestant has such a powerful PR agent that they can get on the Today Show on such short notice? And for being a moron, no less.
