Forget what I said about the Chief

This babe gets it. She’s going to edgercate America and get everyone a map and help South Africa and Eyeraq and stuff. At least, I think that’s what she said. She speaks a little high-faluting for me, but then, I’m not as smart as Miss South Carolina.

Update: Here’s a transcript of the clip:

Aimee Teegarden: Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can’t locate the U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is?

Lauren Caitlin Upton, Miss South Carolina: I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so, because some people out there in our nation don’t have maps. And I believe that our education… like such as in South Africa, and the Iraq, everywhere like, such as… and I believe that they should… our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S. or, or should help South Africa and should help Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children.

Compere: Thank you very much, South Carolina.

Update: I thought it might be nice to follow on from Cherryflava’s idea, and create a Facebook group for South Africans to show their appreciation for Miss South Carolina’s efforts in getting our little country on the map in the great U.S. of A.
