Wonkette Operative “Cheryl” sends us this amazing report about one teen’s secret to awesome spelling. [Orlando Sentinel]
DRUGS
I’ll try to be the first one to say she ain’t no Paultard, but Shorts might beat me to it.
When I saw “home schooled,” I imagined a kid of more Huckabee-esque proportions. This one could probably get out of Taco Bell for under fifteen bucks, which ain’t bad.
Give the young’n a break. So what if she likes plumbers crack.
Peanut-butter and crack sandwich. MmmmmMmm
I love sensationalist headlines. As if the paper couldn’t spare one more letter in the headline to say “teen has ‘a’ crack at…”. I was sorta dissapointed to find out the kid wasn’t on crack. That’s when you know the headline is good.
I’m back, baby.
But there’s no way I’m giving you guys my mother’s maiden name. Nice try!
No doubt she keeps those pieces of paper in her own crack, for instant retrieval at the spelling bee.
@Kingbee: A young Carolee Schneemann? This stuff was genius in the mid-70’s.

Girlfriend gets one whore diamond just for spelling “Loquacity” correctly.
@elburrito–yeah, for Wonkette, after all, I thought there would be more snarky original questions too. Maybe we can think of some new ones for version 2.0!
And how many politicians in our planet’s history are worthy of being favorite?
It was also confusing to have only two choices of gender. Hmmmmm…..
“Student gets ‘AIDS’ to win National Acronym Bee”
Trying…hard…to care…failing…
She’s no dope.
That’s funny, when I get high on crack mai speeling awl gos too shet…
Ugh, i used to do the Spelling Bee/ Geography Bee circuit, trust me- you’ll need more than crack to stay awake.
This children is learning.
“Spelling-bee”? Oh… there it is, right between “Ay” and “Cee”.
@Darehead: You have the east coast advantage dammit!
Maybe she can spell her way into a meth addition. Floridians would surely be proud of this, right?
Anyone ever consider how utterly stupid the whole idea of competitive spelling is? It was really stupid when you had to look up words in the dictionary, but now that you can access dictionary.com on a handheld, what is the point of filling your head with words like loquacity without knowing what they mean?
That said, many props to that little girl, who will in three years will be quite hittable.
the shelf should read: judges too drunk to dock points/see
@V572625694- win!
@V572625694: Spelling is only a valid contest in English. Other languages have the..uh..sense..to make more sense. Or cents, or since, or scents.
@TGY:
Definitely “cents,”
can she spell r-e-c-e-s-s-i-o-n?
What’s the prize for winning a spelling bee? A makeover by the Fab5? If anyone needs it, it’s these pour soles.
Have you ever been to a spelling bee? They should be required to give out crack to keep everyone awake.
Red tape holds up bridge.
Squad helps dog bite victim.
Xerxes says, all my xeroxes are xerarchs.
Did anyone notice that the winner was a thirteen year old from Indiana? Wasn’t that the home of Reagan’s human shield, Dan Quayle? Sameer is lucky they didn’t ask him to spell “potatoe”.
