1. I can't believe with all the issues on our plate, how this cut through the noise

Not judging it, just an interesting notion on how this story received so much attention and got folks so involved. It is really a non-story but wondering what people's thoughts are on why it got SO much play. Is this the 'lipstick on a pig' thing where it just is so 'different' and 'out there' that it draws interest - like Side Shows of circus days - or is there a real issue that is drawing people in. btw, good points taken on your content, on both Miss CA and Miss PH

I got drawn in too - but not sure if it was real concern on my part or rubbernecking an accident scene - or both. (guilty on the rubbernecking)

2. Hey, you have a YouTube channel too!
Neat! I tried posting, but it wouldn't take for some reason.

I'm wondering what the girl who won would have said if Perez Hilton had asked her the same question. She is from NC, after all.

Only Susan Boyle can negotiate a resolution.

4. What kind of idiotic rant was that?
Perez Hilton is a media whore? Really? You figured that out all by yourself? He's Perez Hilton. He's makes his career out of getting press, and he's damn good at it too.

Yet you compare him to politician and activist, Harvey Milk. If you actually think Perez Hilton is trying to be the next Harvey Milk, you've got some serious issues.

And I believe you do have issues because the next thing you do is wave your wedding band in front of the camera and tell him that he can't have you because you're taken. I'm sure he'd be crushed if he ever watched your confused little rant (which he won't).

And by the way, if you're going to accuse Miss California and Perez Hilton of secretly conspiring behind the scenes to concoct a pretend feud you're missing one tiny thing -- evidence.

Wave my wedding band because he can't have me?

Oh please asshole.

Fuck off dick head.

Honey sounds like YOU have the issues. You want to defend Miss Cal and Perez Hilton?

Please!

8. Your whole rant is based on a bullshit accusation.
You have no evidence. Nothing. Nada.

And hello Captain Obvious. Pointing out that Perez Hilton is a media whore is just inane. That's like slamming Carrot Top for having frizzy hair.

And the thing with the ring? You're on tape, you know.

And stop calling everyone "Honey".

9. Did you really feel the need to make another separate assholish post?
Who the fuck are you anyway- Perez Hilton himself?

18. You're saying she conspired to lose the contest.
Miss California's answer about "opposite marriage" was so incredibly clumsy and inarticulate. NOBODY who had advance knowledge of the question would give such a boneheaded answer.

She was clearly flustered. People don't cheat to make themselves look stupid and lose the contest. That theory doesn't make sense.

20. She knew it might be asked:
"Out of all the topics I studied up on, I dreaded that one: I prayed I would not be asked about gay marriage. If I had any other question, I know I would have won," she told FOXNews.com.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,517228,00.html

I'm not sure why this concerns you so deeply.

21. If she's telling the truth in the quotation you posted, it proves my point.
"Out of all the topics I studied up on, I dreaded that one: I prayed I would not be asked about gay marriage. If I had any other question, I know I would have won."

If she prayed she wouldn't be asked about gay marriage, she obviously didn't conspire to be asked about gay marriage.

22. I don't actually care that deeply.

I hope this isn't keeping you awake. Either way I'm glad she lost the top spot. Calling RKM's video idiotic was just uncalled for.

24. Just for kicks ...
Edited on Wed Apr-22-09 04:53 AM by zoff
I watched her response. She was on the right track until all of a sudden, her personal opinion mattered the most. She lost because her answer was, on the generous side, probably half correct. Given a politically loaded question seems a test of a candidate's (political?) intelligence. Doesn't the title of MS USA carry goodwill responsibilities? States VOTE to allow or ban same sex marriage and the majority wins. All you are entitled to is a voice and a vote. In the case of this pageant, it seems that the majority voted against her views on the issue. She should have known better. But then if she has any political aspirations then maybe the repugs are watching....

25. I know this is OT but I just saw your heartfelt message to Susan Boyle and gave it 5 stars
Any chance you could video yourself watching her sing a la http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHwgCcj9UCU">Jimmy Fallon?

BTW, the video of her singing that went viral has got 38,905,960 views so far!!
