Give the girl a break, you morons!

Miss Teen South Carolina Lauren Upton (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070828/ap_on_re_us/miss_teen_south_carolina) is getting a lot of flak for bumbling over the question: Why can't one-fifth of Americans locate the U.S. on a map? Lauren tried her best to BS a diplomatic answer, but is there any good way to say "one-fifth of Americans are morons," or "how the f--- should I know?" Anyway, the real irony is that her pressured response is burning its way through the blogosphere and picking up many nasty comments from the usual illiterates, 20% of whom can't find the U.S. on a map.
