Bad Answer and the Great Communicator

1) Nominee - Worst answer to a pageant question....EVER!! Miss South Carolina
How the MC did not just bust out laughing is a credit to him.

2) Speaking of Maps... Statetris would have helped her. Nah, Miss S.C. was doomed from the start.

3) Now something from the Great Communicator.

Best Buy for Babes? Big Boys Betrayed?

Hugh Hewitt has brought to my attention that Best Buy will be courting women with a line of Liz Claiborne accessory bags and cases. His updated portion is quite funny.

The news that Best Buy is courting the female demographic with a line of Liz Claiborne products is deeply disconcerting. It has been practically impossible to get my wife into such a store in the past, with the happy result that my buying impulses are wholly unsupervised. On the show tonight, the male callers were overwhelmingly against this innovation, primarily as they saw their gadget haul crumbling before their eyes, and the dreams of a big screen receding.

UPDATE: Please let the record show that it was Radioblogger, not me, who commented on tonight's show that "the Liz Claiborne section will be like day care --just drop your wife there."

70. When my guards split up to search for intruders, they will always travel in groups of at least two.
