I hate the generality that all beauty pageant women are bird brains, but sometimes you have to let the shoe fit. <A HREF="http://halfempth.blogspot.com/2007/08/one-fifth-of-us-americans-cant-locate.html" REL="nofollow"> Sometimes it does</A> and sometimes it doesn't.Halhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691384412216558403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30340112.post-57198600261991601612009-04-22T22:03:00.000-05:002009-04-22T22:03:00.000-05:00Probably beauty contestants should have questions ...Probably beauty contestants should have questions directed at them that <br />they can answer with some expertise.Gail Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30340112.post-73251210578782720682009-04-22T12:11:00.000-05:002009-04-22T12:11:00.000-05:001.

This is one reason she lost the competition: she put little/no thought into how her words would be received. Sensitivity towards others: not present.<br />2. She had plenty of true, accurate, and correct responses she might have chosen from, had she any education, research, or preparation. One possibility which comes to mind has been used by the Republicans and Democrats both: "No state should follow suit in legalizing gay-marriage simply because another state has done so. Each state must make that determination on its own, by its own methods, according to the wishes of its own people." This perhaps would have gone over better than her actual response.<br />3. She needs an excuse to explain why she lost, rather than address the actual problems. She could ask herself what _she_ did wrong, but that's a maturity perhaps lacking in her. She could learn from this experience (we all make mistakes, yes?) but that's a self-educational habit perhaps lacking in her. Or, she could be satisfied her moral stance was stated on nationwide/worldwide television, considering that exposure more important than her selfish desire to win. But that, too, is perhaps lacking in her.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18216021062812558090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30340112.post-30330923323366478562009-04-21T22:47:00.000-05:002009-04-21T22:47:00.000-05:00No problem Anon.

Where right departs from hundreds of thousands of dollars, apparently lies within the bounds of her judges. <br /><br />Miss California was not judged by American standards, but by a panel. One of whom she supremely offended. She forgot that and played to the crowd.<br /><br />Complaining about the outcome is the ultimate in idiocy.<br /><br />I say this humbly admitting my roots to her home state.Halhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691384412216558403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30340112.post-18300678737444258572009-04-21T21:00:00.000-05:002009-04-21T21:00:00.000-05:00She denied them nothing by simply stating her opin...She denied them nothing by simply stating her opinion, which she has every god given right to do.

And if she feels she is a victim and lost the pageant due to her position on gay rights, then I am roflol! She gets to pontificate and deny gay people the same rights she enjoys and then feels SHE has been wronged! If that is her opinion, fine. She should stand tall and be pleased with her small self that she spoke her true convictions!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30340112.post-66588467980933915022009-04-21T12:33:00.000-05:002009-04-21T12:33:00.000-05:00not a surprise that you are condemning her for say...not a surprise that you are condemning her for saying what she truly feels, rather than some canned marketing response. amazing how you fakes defend the constitution when it suits you. i don't agree with her position, but she has every right to state it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30340112.post-8488547634886761532009-04-21T11:20:00.000-05:002009-04-21T11:20:00.000-05:00Too bad this "grown up" Jon Bennet (sp?) had to tr...Too bad this "grown up" Jon Bennet (sp?) had to try to answer any question.<br /><br />And remember, it's not a "beauty pageant," it's a scholarship competition.<br /><br />And she's way too hot to be a conservative isn't she.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
