By now you've probably seen the enormously popular footage of the 17-year-old Lauren Kaitlin Upton, a.k.a. Miss Teen South Carolina, horribly botching a response to a question about how to better improve American kids' geography skills.

Maher argues that by GOP standards Miss Upton would make a terrific 2008 candidate for president. Check out the video to your right for more.
