Shandi sighting on Fox News

[dzinkin]

So one of the topics on tonight's Hannity & Colmes was the rather unusual response given by South Carolina's contestant in the Miss Teen USA Pageant... and as is typically the case when pageants or pageant winners are the news of the day, Fox News Channel brought in Shandi Finnessey to comment.

For those who can't get enough of Shandi on Lingo, H&C is slated to rerun at midnight ET/9 pm PT on FNC as I type this.  So as to minimize FNC exposure for those of you who otherwise prefer not to watch the network but want to catch this segment, it appears within the last 15 minutes of the show. :-)

Is she there for a lengthy time, or was it just a quick, "So Shandi, what did you think..."?

It ran about 4-5 minutes and Shandi got to talk for most of it.

Well, can she identify the U.S. on a map?

And does she even have a map?  I hear that's a problem, too.

Of course she can.  Especially the states of I D _ _ _ , M _ _ N _ , and T _ X _ _.  But sometimes she has to ask for bonus letters.

Another of our future leaders.
I personally believe I'd like this young lady to diagram her answer sentence and such as.
So what did the co-host of Lingo Starring Chuck have to say about the beauty queen?

In a nutshell, Shandi said that the beauty queen in question really was smart and shouldn't be judged on what she said while under extreme stress, and that while she didn't deserve all the negative media attention, at least she was making the most of the publicity.  Hannity and Colmes both agreed, and Shandi added that the two of them should see what it's like to go on live, nationwide TV in a bikini and heels.

I was less disturbed by anything Shandi said than by Hannity's promise that Colmes would accept Shandi's challenge. ;-)

The young lady in question was on the Today show, where she presented herself with poise and good humor, and an extremely well-rehearsed answer to the fateful question.

I realize that the Today Show relies heavily on puff pieces, but if there was ever a better example of leading a subject down the garden path, I haven't seen it.

/And this young lady actually won her state to qualify for the national contest. Just roll that around in your heads.

Leave it to a former game show host (let's try a different youtube link)... to break down Ms. South Carolina's answer into something we can all understand.

WTF!??!  I put in a Youtube link in my original post, and not a Youtubetop link.  That was a bizarre link.
