UPDATE:
When I posted the video on Aug 27th, it had been seen by over 2 million viewers. Twenty-four hours later it had been seen by over 5million, and today it’s clocking in at 9,200,616. This is viral video Ebola.

The Analysis of Tim Howland (via Boing Boing)

I think that everyone has missed something important here; she’s actually been pioneering a new art form- a combination of Hindi Ghazal poetry and blank verse. Look at the transcription:

I personally believe that us americans
are unable to do so because osama.

People out there
in our nation
don’t have that,

And I believe that our education
like such as south africa and
such as the Iraq.

everywhere “such as”.

And I believe our education
should help the US
should help the south africa
and the iraq
and the asian countries
so we can build up
our future.

The themes are clear; she’s worried about the way we are reacting to the war on terror, the way Osama Bin Laden still is free, and the way that we are being “educated”. The irony is simply dripping from the last stanza. She was able to deliver this call to revolution absolutely deadpan, cunningly pulling the wool over America’s eyes- and people here have the temerity to mock her intellectual accomplishments? She is the latter-day heir to Rosa Luxemborg- only, without the boathook.

Replies to the video are appearing on YouTube. Comments equating this Teen Miss with the degeneration of the society as whole are flourishing, along with those by hormonal frat boys: “that chick is so SEXY. when i get wit her… i hope she knows where i shoul put it:P” Video responses include this girl who proves she can read cue cards. A brilliant career in network news awaits.

On a more snarky note, this also shows that a ten year old is better at reading cue cards than Amy Goodman.
