I'd tend to completely agree with that adage...
Unless of course your name is George Bush, then there's no such thing as good publicity.
I wondered what the actual question was that she completely bungled (because I don't keep up with teen anything... I'm a 'dirty old man', but not THAT dirty) so I thought I'd share:
"Q: Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can't locate the U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is?"
"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, um, some people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as, uh, South Africa and, uh, the Iraq and everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, uh, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, should help South Africa and should help Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future."
Wow.
I'd be floored too. I'm still trying to fathom just how they supposedly polled enough people to make the determination that approximately 60 million people in the US don't know where they are on a map... I want sources! I bet the median age was 5 or maybe the map was a conceptual topographical map of Pangea. Or maybe the polls were all conducted in areas highly populated by Snake Handlers...
