Conservatives Freak Out Over Unimportant Competition
Did you know that the Miss USA pageant was held this past weekend? Yeah, I didn’t either. I hate beauty pageants. They are a remnant of our more sexist past, a successor to the Southern debutante balls. I think a contest where a scholarship is awarded based on how good you look in an evening gown and a swimsuit doesn’t serve much purpose. Some people obviously care about this competition. An Arab-American Muslim woman won the Miss USA pageant and a conservative freak-out commenced.
They are all attractive, but this surprising frequency of Muslims winning beauty pageants makes me suspect an odd form of affirmative action.
Gateway Pundit thought the fix was obviously in because the blonde Miss Oklahoma didn’t win. It was conspiracy because she supported Arizona’s SB 1070 law.
Miss Oklahoma Morgan Elizabeth Woolard was a top contestant for the Miss USA crown this year. But, after she came out in support of the Arizona immigration law she was forced to take a back seat to Miss Michigan. Miss Oklahoma was runner up in this year’s competition.
Obviously, Rima Fakih couldn’t have won on her own, she’s hideous. Only blonde, Christian white women qualify as beauty queens.

and she is a pole dancer.
She sure is hot. Oh yeah.
I never watch Beauty Pagents either, but Miss America is like an enduring bad joke that knows no end.I suggest we scrap it and not start over. That and she sure is hot.
The American Taliban is freaking out more than the regular Taliban.
I saw the ‘tail end’ (no pun intended)the Oakie stumbled, stuttered, and in general seemed to have little, if any, idea what she was talking about…..maybe she was coached/paid to spit out the (which ever)party line.
Miss Michigan is a knock out, very nice spirit, and she won. Good thing contestants don’t have to wear a sash proclaiming their religions.
Sour Grapes to the Gripers….their little plan didn’t work. Hope we don’t have to see the Oakie on TMZ sniffling and crying over her stupid head statements. How could she expect to ‘represent’, even in this most shallow way, USA land of immigrints (sp)????????
As a person of Middle Eastern descent (and I don’t mean Delaware), let me say it’s about freakin’ time. Where was all the crying and bitching every year when a big-haired blonde from Florida, Texas or Oklahoma won?
Finally, something that all fundamentalists can hate.
