Cheers for that rousing speech, Einstein. She gave that speech briefly before being whisked away to accept her nobel peace prize for "science and helping people that like don't have maps to like, help those people in South Africa and stuff..."

Well, you have to bear in mind that she was under tremendous pressure, with so much riding on her answer. She has to speak (dead air is deadly), she has to project cheerfulness and poise, and she has to answer in a positive way -- no suggesting that there's a problem with the education system, for example.

Think it's easy? Put yourself in her position.

It'll help if you also imagine yourself as an airheaded bimbo....

"Well, I'm glad you asked that question. You know, every time I look in the mirror, I'm reminded of the inadequacies of our education system...."

Yeah, wow. That answer was absolutely hilarious and made zero sense whatsoever! You do have to feel sorry for the poor girl though. Or maybe you don't, depending on what you think about beauty pageant contestants. I don't know, take your pick. I do know one thing, being put on the spot on TV is hard, and it's hard on your local cable channel program, never mind some beauty pageant contest that was watched by an audience presumably in the millions.

Ah what the hell, maybe I'll go to hell for saying it but it still make me laugh out loud! :lol:

This girl's response might be pathetic, but it's almost equally pathetic how a teenager can take such a ruthless beating over something so irrelevant as a nonsensical answer to a pageant question. She's getting hammered on every talk show in America.

Type her into Google and you get 7,370,000 results. No joke - almost seven and a half MILLION.

Pageants, in general, are both pointless and absurd, and they are the last place to look when searching for the brighter contingent of our young population. So why is it so notable when one of the contestants sounds clueless in the Q&A?

I guess it gives many that rare opportunity to actally feel smart.

People love picking on things like this because they love the idea of taking the victim down a peg. Let's face it, we love it when someone puts themselves up on a pedestal and then screws up -- it confirms the value of our own mediocrity.

This all starts in the schoolyard, with beating up the kid who likes to read.

Freudenschaden is a German word meaning the act of taking joy from the misery of others.

This is just awesome freudenschaden. Geeks around the world are celebrating her humiliation safe in the knowledge that beauty fades and stupid is forever.

What are the odds she could find Germany on a map?

I couldn't agree more. I guess the tabloids ran out of Lohan/Spears stories, so now they're feasting on the beauty pageant girl. It's ridiculous.

Isn't "Freudenschaden" a "fake" word... a bastardization of the word "Schadenfreude"?

Yes, you are correct sir. I picked up the new term in the blogosphere.


"Freudenschade baby! It is rare that the birth of a new word can be precisely chronicled but in this case "Freudenschade" can be traced to last Saturday at 5:15 P.M. when DUmmie helderheid POSTED, "I'm FINALLY opening up that bottle of champagne! freudenschade baby!" Yes, we know this DUmmie really meant "Schadenfreude" which means taking malicious joy at the suffering of others but by incorrectly handling a word too big for this DUmmie, he inadvertently gave birth to a new word. "Freudenschade" means taking malicious joy at the gloom suffered by DUmmies and other Leftists who celebrate prematurely only to have to eat crow later when the event they are celebrating boomerangs in their faces. Think of the DUmmies popping open the victory champagne on Election Day 2004 when the Exit Polls showed Kerry to be a winner only to have that same champagne turn sour in their mouths when the REAL results came in later that evening. Think Terry McAuliffe gloating over the defeat of Governor Jeb Bush shortly before he was re-elected in a landslide. Think of the jublilation of the left over the CBS exposé of the Texas Air National Guard letters before that was exposed as a Mary Mapes/Dan Rather fiction. Yes, think of all these things and more and you can understand the Freudenschade of conservatives as time after time the Left is forced to eat crow.

The Fake Fitzmas story has also turned into a case of massive Freudenschade on a scale hardly to be believed. It has reached out and touched HILLARY CLINTON who, along with hundreds of top politicos at a meeting in Michigan, stood up and applauded the "news" that Karl Rove had been indicted. Fitzmas Freudenschade even made it into today's WALL STREET JOURNAL where all the players in the Fitzmas story (except for Pied Piper Pitt which must be KILLING him) was discussed. Bizarrely, even Miami Vice star, Don Johnson was brought into the Fitzmas Freudenschade as a possible source (later denied) for Jason Leopold, author of the Fitzmas Fiction. Meanwhile, the big player in the Fitzmas Freudenschade whose name was not mentioned in the WSJ, William Rivers Pitt, has been MIA. Perhaps he is just MIB (Mumbling In Bukowski's). So let us now use Pied Piper Pitt's drunken woes as a jumping point for this Fitzmas Feast. We now join our boy, Pitt, as he drunkenly SLAMS Head DUmmie Skinner for daring to question his veracity. Pitt's drunken post was so demeaning that it was quickly deleted from DUmmieland but NOT before someone copied and pasted it in the DAILY KOS where we now join it in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, dining on DUmmies dining on crow, is in the [brackets]:
