I don't think I get it.....

I read this article but I still don't get why carrie embarrassed herself.. can someone tell me??


Before presenting Underwood with Entertainer of the Year, McConaughey told the audience how George Strait's boots once got him "lucky."
After collecting her trophy from him, Underwood was at a loss for words and blurted out: "I don't know what to say. I got nothin' ... I want to see those boots, Matthew."
Camila Alves - the mother of McConaughey's 8-month-old son Levi - was sitting in the audience.
Now, Underwood tells Fox News, "I'm so embarrassed, I totally embarrassed myself. I just blanked. You want to say something eloquent in a moment like that and I embarrassed myself."

Pixter, getting lucky, under certain circumstances means having the opportunity for sexual adventure with someone. All this reference to Levi and country music recalls the disgraceful and backward Sarah Palin and her unfortunate unwed 16 year-old daughter(who was obviously taught abstenence in her school's retrogressive sex ed program) and her newborn supposedly fathered by a boy also named Levi. Is the name Levi the Jethro of the new century? Well golly..
Apparently Underwood espressed her desires to undress McConauhey in front of his wife. This is definitely a story fit for Fox News and their trailer-park audience.

Oh no I can't get either right. Perhaps I should look into Esperanto.
