I don’t think she’s all that pretty–she looks older than her age (not a good sign at her age!). And what is wrong with her shoulders? Is it me or are they really slopey and not in good shape?  
Ugh and blech and god help us all if she reproduces…  
**Airman** –this is why I couldn’t be a guy. I’d get all excited about “hitting it” and the she’d open her mouth and all desire would flee…

You’re right, you’re not thinking like a guy, that’s for sure. When she opens her mouth, a guy would see that as an opportunity to shove something in there.

Well, I _have_ to give her credit. . . she _did_ mention two war-torn countries: viz, Iraq and South Africa.

. . .

. . .

. . . wait, _what?_

Well, like someone else mentioned, she _did_ mention U.S. Americans.

Kind of, if “long lost twin” counts as self-identification. Then she would say, “How did you know what I’d be wearing?”

Based on this, and the other Doper’s thoughts, and being I lived in New Jersey, Arizona, North Dakota, Montana, and now Georgia . . .

. . . shit, I had it, but then in the midst of typing, I blanked out on what I wanted to be called. Damned if now I can’t remember. :smack:

I actually thought of a legitimate reason for the term “U.S. Americans”, and that is to acknowledge that Canadians and Mexicans are also Americans. Could I have  
possibly stumbled on what she was thinking? Still doesn’t excuse the claims that many of 'em don’t have maps, or the babbling about South Africa & Iraq.

Mario Lopez was indeed being kind to her, but consider what body of work he is most know for. He really can’t judge anybody.

And I agree about her response being a muddled version of what she had prepared to say. It reminded me of that scene in 30 ROCK where Jane Krakowski went on MSNBC Hardball & f’d up what Tina Fey had coached her to say (“We need to devote our resourses to catching and imprisoning Barack Obama… and  
then elect Osama in 2008!”)

What was that she said about “The Iraq”?

I’d totally nail that, too, by the way. I wouldn’t have to listen, as she would have her mouf full…
