The New Miss USA is a Republican

[bluestateguy]

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Miss Missouri, Shandi Finnessey, a 25-year-old graduate student who has published a children's book, was crowned Miss USA at the 52nd annual pageant on Monday.

A Republican, she told Reuters she would use her position to help explain America's involvement in Iraq (news - web sites). "What needed to be done had to be done," she said.

1. Nice...

She could help write Bush's speeches...

[ComerPerro]

2. Aren't they all?

[Endangered Specie]

3. you think such priviledged, pampered spoiled folk...

grow up to become Democrats?

[kskiska]

37. Yeah, like the Ramseys.

Poor JonBenet's dad is now running for office in Michigan – as a Repug.
Patsy Ramsey and her sister were both Miss W. Virginias.
Beauty Pageants = Repugs

[NMDemDist2]

4. whaaaaaa???

""What needed to be done had to be done," she said."

Bush's writer ARE writing for her... they must be! how inane can you get?

[imax2268]

7. RECOUNT...

oh wait...nevermind...

it was fixed...that or she's pulling a Britney...

How much you wanna make a bet she's not really a republican...she's only saying it to make herself look good...!

[northernsoul]

40. ROFL - that's what I thought too!

what a complete non-statement!

[burrowowl]

5. And do you think a

socialist, communist, liberation theology person, etc. would participate in such a thing?

[Syrinx]

11. what's a liberation theology person?

I don't mind admitting when I'm ignorant. :)

[burrowowl]

14. Maryknoll

priests and nuns, Bishop Ramos, etc. who stood up for the poor and were killed by Ray-Gun Iran-Contra types, along with 200,000 or so Guatemalean Indians and others.
Google Liberation theology ...

[Syrinx]

19. Okay, thanks!

[rucky]

6. She should enlist

would be a real morale booster for those troops

[MidwestTransplant]

26. No kidding

let's see her sign up. I would think well of her then.

[Syrinx]

8. It's a beauty contest, right?

I thought the prettiest (I watched the swimsuit part) were from Oklahoma and Tennessee. Odd, because they were both blondes, and I generally prefer brunettes.

[LibertyorDeath]

9. "What needed to be done had to be done,"

Well get your powder puffed ass over there and help do it you mindless twit

[LTR]

10. All beauty...

...and no brains.



Yeah, I feel like hurling too.

[pnorman]

12. Can you imagine the outraged yammering

from the Ditto-heads, had she announced herself to be a "Democrat, dreaming of World Peace ....etc"?

pnorman

[dusty64]

33. Thats what I was thinking.

To think she is going to use her title to make excuses for our regime, absolutely disgusting. Its a good thing I really don't follow any of that bullshit. :puke: I guess its a fact that TRUE beauty is on the inside.

[mitchum]

13. The next time I'm at a boat show...

I'll ask this bimbo for her expert foreign policy advice

[LTR]

16. OUCH!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZING!

[Lex]

21. Hee hee

'Zactly.

Then maybe see what she thinks will spark job growth in the next quarter. And her postulation on how steady short-term interst rates will be over the summer and if long-term interest rates will affect the housing starts during the prime building season of 2004.

Gosh, I can't wait!

17. Gosh, I thought Condi Rice was

Miss USA!!

[daleo]

22. Is this the face that launched a thousand oil ships?

And burned the topless towers of Baghdad.
Sweet Condi, make me immoral with a kiss!

Apologies to Marlowe.

[Count Dracula]

18. Figures.

She looks like a phony.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

20. I don't honestly EVER remember KNOWING

the political affiliation, if any, of any crowned beauty queen before.

Is it SOP to announce their party affiliation now?

How completely freaking weird. I think it's pretty appropriate, though, that the bush administration would be recruiting beauty queens! ROFL!

[anarchy1999]

27. I think you just might be right. I do not think I've ever seen it before.

So our new "beauty queen" in a bikini is a right wing, fundamentalist, Christian, Republican. WOW! What more do we need? We've got the soccer moms, the Nascar dads, the Christian Right and now the beauty queens. I am beyond impressed. They've (tin-foil time) got it all sewn up, don't they?

Oh and by the way MoonBeam, welcome to our "New World".

Be Happy.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

28. Thanks anarchy

I actually know you from the activism board. I was in Crawford in March.

[kskiska]

38. Look how Anita Bryant turned out!

and she was just a runner-up.

[Cleita]

23. Oh, darn and I thought she was just a pretty face.

:eyes:

[Old and In the Way]

24. I see a career in newsreading for this young lady.

She has all the necessary attributes needed for getting the message out.

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

34. Yes, it will be just like "All About Eve"

She sounds just about evil enough to unseat Paula Zahn from her perch. I notice a lot of the cable anchor women look like they have been getting plastic surgery lately, so the pressure must be on them.

"World peace" is so out of fashion now anyway. New, improved "Republican Warrior Jesus" has different goals than the old one for a wholesome girl to follow.

[Blasphemer]

25. Keeeeeerist...

Just what we need. Beauty pageant winners "explaining" our f-ed up foreign policy.

[Devils Advocate NZ]

29. But damn, wouldn't it be funny if...

Miss France wins the Miss Universe and explains why attacking Iraq was the stupidest idea that any American president (or anyone else for that matter) had ever dreamed up?

I mean, Bush and his minions managed to make the shit they do on Jackass seem like a brilliant idea by comparison!

[SoCalDem]

30. Wow...a $200,000 crown.. Isn't THAT special??

and then there's that free dental work for that lone "uncapped" tooth way in the back :puke:

"The winner's prize package includes a $200,000 crown, free accommodation in New York City, as well as free dental work and dermatological services. "

[leftyandproud]

31. if I recall, the last TWO winners were also pukes...

whats with these braindead models?

[ithacan]

32. she needs to personally go explain that to the Ayatollahs...

preferably while wearing her swim suit...

who was the runner up?

[Paranoid_Portlander]

35. What didn't need to be done...

...didn't need to be done. Also didn't have to be done. What needed to be done was zero, therefore what had to be done was zero. What actually was done was greater than zero. We're still doing it. Someone please forward this mathematical explanation to Miss USA as quickly as possible.

[Paranoid_Portlander]

36. Kick, for the entire thread. (n/t)

.

[Stuckinthebush]

39. What a magnificent role model for my three daughters...

I do believe that my seven year old could debate rings around Miss USA.

Of course, my seven year old is being raised to be a critical thinker which is obviously not what Miss USA's parents did. So, it wouldn't really be a fair debate.

[tandot]

41. "What needed to be done had to be done" how precious

that explains it really well. So, now we all know why and we should just all shut the f*ck up and support Dubya.

I wish I could see her first discussion with someone who opposes the war and confronts her with the facts. Will she break out in tears and run home crying?

I assume that most beauty pagent contestants are Republicans. Why would any Democrat participate? We all know that we Dems are just way smarter.

[xxqqqzme]

42. but I thought all these

hair heads wanted 'world peace'.

add: this quote is almost as good
"...During the final question category, she was asked what serves her better in life -- experience or education. She immediately chose the former, saying "You can have all the book knowledge in the world, but to have the knowledge from experience. ... I think that teaches you more knowledge than anything you could possibly read in a book."

an explanation for the banality:
"...This was the second year that the Miss USA pageant aired on NBC. The network, a unit of General Electric Co ., co-owns the pageant with Donald Trump, a New York property developer..."

[kcwayne]

43. I guess the contestants gave up on "World Peace"

oh well, just show us your tits and shut up.

[Vickers]

44. Yeah, well I'd still hit it.

:P

[PA Democrat]

45. Thank GOD! I couldn't figure it out for myself

I am so GRATEFUL that a beauty queen will explain to little ol' me. Yeah, winning the swimsuit competition qualifies her as an expert on international affairs. :eyes:

[Bread and Circus]

46. I thought they were supposed to wish for world peace, not rationalize War?

:crazy:
