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?

Oh, and some people in our nation don't have maps! Which is certainly PC of her.

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!

Why is it called a toothbrush and not a teethbrush? Why, it was invented in West Virginia.

Anyone know how bad Georgia's test scores are? Because I think I'm being crushed between the butt cheeks of stupidity... South Carolina and Georgia.
