Pickler appeared on Jeff Foxworthy’s show, Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?
It was a third grade geography question.

She was asked, "Budapest is the capital of what European country?" She replied,

"This might be a stupid question, but I thought Europe was a country".

She thought it might be France, and then was confused if France really was a country or not.

When told the answer was Hungary, she did not believe the host.

She said, "Hungry ? That's a country? I've heard of Turkey, but Hungry? I've never heard of it."



Good thing the question wasn't about Prague.

2. That's Kellie
The same one who had never heard of "ballsy." I feel sorry for anyone so uneducated. Truly pitiable.

3. I don't hold much against Kellie Pickler
Edited on Tue Aug-05-08 04:36 PM by Horse with no Name
She is a very naive young lady who grew up living a very sheltered life in the poverty of Appalachia.
The fact that she isn't aware of those things is more a testament to the piss-poor schools she attended than anything else.
I don't really like her music, but that young lady has seen more hard times than most can imagine.
Her Mom abandoned her at age 2 and her father is an alcoholic and a drug addict who has spent a few years in the pen.
I remember a time when fellow Democrats cared about the people who fell through the cracks. She was one of them.
Seems like she has a good heart though...and certainly seems to care more about people and not just her boobs.

11. Education is the problem--Kellie has none
Dems care about that. If Dems could get our way, we would all be very educated.

Pukes calling themselves "fiscal conservatives" and denying Appalachian people good education are the problem.

13. As a "TRUE" liberal
I couldn't have said it better.
Ignorance is never funny...regardless of who someone supports politically.

15. Like she knew he was coming. Look, she is a young, un-
educated, pretty girl who can sing. Her father watched her perform on American Idol from prison. It is too bad that she has to perform for drunken bikers, but it is a mega leap from where she would have ended up otherwise (at least I bet she gets to cover her tits). Her agent probably booked her months before McCain was even the nominee.

4. Good lord...
If I were that kid, I would have written down the wrong answer and acted very confident I was right just to get that ditz off stage.

12. That level of "uninformed" would take an effort to be inattentive in school.
You'd have to be trying hard to ignore basic facts taught in the 5th grade, if you believed Europe was a country and not a continent.

14. I see no indication that this bim is even remotely supporting McCain's candidacy
look at that poster, it's just some big redneck clusterfuck (which sadly includes formerly great bands like Skynyrd and Foghat). I highly doubt KellIE volunteered herself to stump for her presidential choice in the November election, she's just probably following whatever schedule her agent/manager comes up with.

16. She is a hottie
aside from that she signed up for that (they all did) before McCain or anyone else was scheduled to appear.

Come on folks-there are people who are going to vote for him and there are people who are going to be within 20 feet from him.

No big deal

17. The poster was made up a month ago....
I guess Kid Rock, who is a republican and an asshole
had a choice? Give me a break. SHE IS A REPUBLICAN just like KID ROCK.


You can't spin this on ignorance, they knew damn well
what and who they were supporting on their stage.
Let's defend ignorant republicans day?


Kid Rock Quotes:

“I do not believe that artists or actors and people should be out there like voicing their full-blown opinions on politics because, let's face it, at the end of the day, I'm not that smart of a guy. I play Rock 'n' Roll, that's what I do. Who would you trust to make your decisions, Donald Rumsfeld or the Dixie Chicks?”


“Are some women and children going to die? Yeah. But it's doing the right thing. You got money, you sit around talking about peace. People who don't have money need some help.”


“Why is everybody trying to stop the war? George Bush ain't been
saying, 'You all, make shitty records.' Politicians and music don't mix.
It's like whisky and wine. Musicians ought to stay out of it.”


“If I could change one thing about myself, it would be to lose the bimbo attractor chip that God must have placed in me at birth.”


John McCain Supporter same with Kellie
