The Left fixed Miss USA Pageant

[m52nickerson]

......well that is what the Conservatives talking heads are saying.

"Miss Hezbollah is now Miss USA," declared conservative radio talk show host Debbie Schlussel, saying that Fakih's relatives in Lebanon had ties to the terrorist organization based there. Schlussel also said Fakih received some financial backing from onetime Hezbollah supporter Imad Hamad — or, as Schlussel put it, Fakih's "bid for the pageant was financed by an Islamic terrorist." Suggesting the pageant was "rigged," Schlussel wrote off Fakih's victory to a "politically correct, Islamo-pandering climate."

Conservative blogger Michelle Malkin saw a conspiracy afoot, too — generic rather than Muslim-specific this time. Malkin mocked Fakih as a "gaffetastic" contestant who tripped over her gown as well as over her answer to a question about birth control — exposing Fakih's ignorance, Malkin argued, about what constitutes a "controlled substance" and what the purpose of health care is. "Looks like the Miss USA pageant didn't want to risk the wrath of the open-borders mob," Malkin said.

"Fox & Friends" host Gretchen Carlson (herself a former Miss America) suggested that perhaps Woolard's conservative-leaning "informed opinion" was enough for the judges to exercise political correctness and award the crown to Fakih over a blonde from Oklahoma.

Of course it is all because of a pole dancing video of the New Miss USA Rima Fakih, who is absolutely beautiful, even though in the video she remains fully clothed. Go figure the blonde haired blue eyed girl loses to a darker skinned, better looking, girl and the conservatives get upset. No one could see that coming.....right?

Of course not. Only white girls can even enter such a superficial contest. Everybody knows this.

I saw this coming just as soon as I saw on TV that a woman of Middle Eastern descent had won.

And yeah, she's drop-dead gorgeous.

[ironbite]

Drop-dead nothing. She could make me rise back to life.

Ironbite-woman is FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE peice of candy.

[Old Viking]

They're messing with our beauty pageants ? The fiends!

[MaybeNever]

She's preposterously hot, but I also have a special place in my heart for semitic women. Double whammy.

[mistermuncher]

Sorry, what? They reckon Islamic Fundamentalists sponsored and supported an entry for a woman into a beauty contest?

What's the craic with the burkahs and all that, then, you fucking mogrions?

Fact: Fundies don't like it when dark-skinned people with non-Western names take on titles that until then have been held by light-skinned people with European names, and thus they must protest that it's not the majority that accepts these people but the Evils That Be.

Edit: I looked up a picture of the lady in question. Sch-wing. That is all.

That about covers it, this is the kind of thing that makes me wish I was more internet famous, I would totally blow the lot of it on the chance to make a pass at her.

[tolpuddlemartyr]

Typical conservative reaction. Oh noes she's brown, panic, panic.

I really don't think it has as much to do with the fact she's non-white as it is that she is of middle eastern extraction. That she has an "Islamic" sounding name further gets their panties in a bunch, you know, since we have a Muslim president and all now..

[Mira]

Oh, you know if she had a Hispanic-sounding name people would still be going batshit.

Ignore them, she's amazingly gorgeous. I concur with MaybeNever's sentiment of semitic women.

Well, yeah, maybe that, because she would be an illegal alien that snuck across the border to take a job away from a deserving American.

But I was thinking more along the lines of non-white in general. And there have technically been eight black Miss Americas. Seven have been crowned as a result of winning the pageant, the eighth one was the first runner up to the first black Miss America, Vanessa Williams, and took over when Williams stepped down following the publication of nude photos of her in Penthouse in 1984.

So their mad because a dumb blonde southern bimbo didn't win?

Boo-hoo.
