As a product of the South Carolina public school system, I would like to say that this is an unfortunate and exceptional representation of what our beautiful state’s residents are like. And as someone who has competed in many beauty pagents, which I am not, I would like to say that there’s a lot of pressure on you when you’re on stage and forced to think on your feet.
But still, it’s just funny…
josh — i was particularly baiting you when i wrote that line about south carolina. nice to see you took the bait.
I clicked on this specifically to see if Josh had defended his state yet…..yep.
Marko- Don’t know if you saw the MTV video awards last night but she was on it making fun of herself. She sort of did a reenactment as she was introducing something. You could tell she was reading off of the prompter which made it even more funny.
I bet she doesn’t regret it, though, because she is a lot more popular for it! If she would have said something really smooth, she wouldn’t have been memerable at all.
Oops, I think the correct spelling is *memorable*, but for some reason, that doesn’t look right to me either.
this was just too painful to watch
She went on TV the next week (Today Show or Early Show…one of those crappy shows) and they gave her a chance to re-answer. Her planned re-answer was pretty less-than-intelligent, too.
my thoughts were to the slant that the question would have to be a hard critique of the education system and self-centered culture. that just doesn’t win pageants. so i helped frame an answer for her
i ask myself, what would i be saying if she was a girl in my youth group? what kind of love and grace would i show her? don’t get me wrong, i love a good laugh, but she put herself out there in a vulnerable spot.
Honestly, I think that I uh in the Iraq, I um you know in the U.S. that I uh……………..
mark,
for days i felt the same way…until i heard len sweet in “What Ever Happened to Mercy?” len sweet
