All those pageant-types have always, and only, skated thru life on their adorability (you can just sense her adorableness!! See how adorable she is?! She's like a china doll you want to spank and screw!) and this culture encourages it. So, really, she's, like, culturally important. Y'know?

Notice she how well she paid attention to her coaching, not the question, by throwing the buzz words... "Iraq"... "South Africa"...

There are smart people in South Carolina? I don't believe it! Next, you're going to tell me that someone from West Virginia is actually smart!
