McCain & Miss Teen South Carolina

One of the most watched videos (28.5 million hits in one version alone plus several millions more in other versions) on youtube is the answer of Miss Teen South Carolina Laura Caitlin Upton on the question of why a fifth of Americans can't locate the United States on a world map, which she answered by saying we should help people in "everywhere,like such as" South Africa, "the(?)Iraq" and Asian countries so that we shall be able to build a better future over here.

Less known is the fact that during one of the debates during the Republican debates John McCain answered an economics question about the President's working group on financial markets from Ron Paul in a not so dissimilar matter by simply mentioning the names of his economics advisors and then talk about tax cuts. The first video below is an unedited version simply showing the question from Paul and answer from McCain, and the second is a shorter edited one illustrating the similarity between McCain's answer and Miss Teen South Carolina's.




In light of this, Republicans should be a lot more worried about McCain making a fool of himself during the debates than about Sarah Palin making a fool of herself during her debate with Joe Biden.
