- Go to THE NEW MISS USA IN A STRIPPER POLE CONTROVERSY
Funny... Our society is so ironically weird. For some reason it's OK to have your beauty/sexuality exploited for a beauty pageant. Just not if you haven't already exploited the same on your own before the show, only the with addition of a pole, and minus only about 3 inches of fabric. It isn't whether or not a beautiful woman shows her beauty that so offends some people - it's only the environs of the showing that we think we need to control.

All I know is that there is going to be a lot of controversy over this one.

Disgusting
One who has no moral value has no honesty, intreguity or self worth. A moral value is not according to what I would want for me and mine only, but a sense of being proud to be a woman or a man who can be with another person as a wife or husband some day without the whole world having seen, touched and lusted after the goods as one would in buying a race horse. I am so delighted my beautiful daughters are not one of these.

There is probably an issue behind most any contestant
in big name contests such as this one.
I suppose that the contest was skewed somewhat in light of the present religio-political climate which our resident conservatives insits upon stirring up (not that the other side doesn't) -- this is a slime pool that the more you stir it, the more it stinks. And I think we are in the middle of a stinking mess (could be the stinking will get worse, maybe unbearable) that could hurt us all in the end.

M Before it was the television host Dean Martin that slid down the pole to the Golddiggers. What’s the matter? Don’t the judges like Spanish girls? Objectively it’s the most talented and good looking girl all around that should win as long as the other girl’s here. I’ll let you and Corbin comment on the serious issues implied in what should be an entertainment and career opportunity item for all girls here. BC-A, Bill’s RJLst

What your missing is the story that came with the pole pics.......
about her relative in Hezbollah....
A couple of years ago, I told you that Donald Trump moved the Miss Universe pageant, which he owns, from Dubai because it would not allow Miss Israel into the country to compete.
But now, Trump has brought the Islamic intolerance INTO the Miss USA pageant, rather than escaping from it.
Rima Fakih, Miss Michigan USA, who will compete in Sunday Night’s pageant broadcast on NBC, is a Dearbornistan Shi’ite Muslim who is a supporter of Hezbollah and used the pageant name at a forum promoting Islamic subjugation of women.
She was born in the Hezbollah stronghold of Srifa in South Lebanon, which Israel was forced to attack in the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war because it was a site of Hezbollah weaponry.
Her devout Muslim family comes from the Hezbollah-controlled South Lebanon.
Intelligence sources confirm that at least three of Fakih’s relatives are currently top officials in Hezbollah and that at least eight Fakih family members were Hezbollah terrorists killed by the Israelis in past Israel-Lebanese wars and interventions.
Some of her family members were originally in Harakat Amal [the Shi'ite Amal militia], which is now essentially a part of Hezbollah.

I don't really know too much about this...
but I think it's sad how someone always has to bring up things someone has done in their personal life to make them look bad.
