Someone named Kellie Pickler - a celebrity of some sort - competing on the ridiculous game show "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?"
Despite her performance here, should she decide to opine on global warming, middle east politics, U.S. foreign policy, the media would immediately deign her wisdom, authority and as a "whip-smart, worldly young woman." Just so long as her opinions mesh with current media orthodoxy: the world is melting; middle east governments are misunderstood; George Bush/US foreign policy evil - until, of course, it is Hillary Clinton/US foreign policy.
