Miss Nebraska Becomes Youngest Miss America
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20458100,00.html

Miss Nebraska, who answered a question about Wikileaks, calling it espionage and saying that
government security is more important than the public's right to know, wins.
Need we say more?

sorry Nebraska, I believe she is the one on the right?
The interviews. Miss Nebraska was asked about Wikileaks and "how do we balance the people's right to know with the need of government security?" She answers that Wikileaks is about espionage and the security of the nation is more important than people's right to know.

..............

Miss Delaware and Miss Utah. (Ms. Utah's opening line: "Tonight 53 women share a dream, not a husband." Was she registering a complaint against "Big Love"? ) Or how about Miss Iowa: "Leading the state in ethanol production, my state gives you gas."

1. FAIL Monkey FAIL!

Yeah she would be the one on the right.

[golddigger]

2. Miss Iowa forgot to add shit also.

[Botany]

3. A future Fox News Anchor no doubt

"Following her reign, Scanlan plans to enroll in Patrick Henry College in Virginia."

Patrick Henry College of knowledge job is get ready the next generation of right wing Christian
to hold our nation back in the stone ages.

From the school's web site ....

The Mission of Patrick Henry College is to prepare Christian men and women who will lead our nation and shape our culture with timeless biblical
values and fidelity to the spirit of the American founding. Educating students according to a classical liberal arts curriculum, and training them
with apprenticeship methodology, the College provides academically excellent baccalaureate level higher education with a biblical world view.

The Vision of Patrick Henry College is to aid in the transformation of American society by training Christian students to serve God and mankind
with a passion for righteousness, justice and mercy, through careers of public service and cultural influence.

The Distinctives of Patrick Henry College include practical apprenticeship methodology; a deliberate outreach to home schooled students; financial
independence; a general education core based on the classical liberal arts; a dedication to mentoring and discipling Christian students; and a community
life that promotes virtue, leadership, and strong, life-long commitments to God, family and society.

14. A lot of men and women start out on one path then change course.

Jerry Brown studied and came close to being ordained as a Jesuit Priest. There are other examples in business and public life where people started out with deeply religious backgrounds but became agnostics. The woman is 17. She may well develop into a Sarah Palin clone, or she could very well end up being the first real liberal democratic governor of Nebraska. She is too young and unformed by life experiences for one to predict how she will turn out politically, but I admit her future worldview don't look terribly promising.

24. +1

I earned a graduate degree from seminary and had served in the ministry for a few years before I rediscovered my natural atheism.

She's only 17 years old, not even fully formed. Give her a few years and let's see what she becomes.

[Neurotica]

15. The Patrick Henry bit was the giveaway for me

Did you know that the college has an entire intelligence program as well?!

[itsrobert]

4. Some comedy hack writer fed them those lines

nt

[leftstreet]

5. How come they don't have 'Mister' America pageants?

And FFS why on earth would they ask a question about Wikileaks? Would audience members of these trainwrecks even know what a Wikileak is?

[liberal N proud]

6. Too stupid for words

"security of the nation is more important than people's right to know"

[baldguy]

7. Miss Arkansas got robbed.

A yodeling ventriloquist? C'MON!

[Stevenmarc]

8. Well that frees her up for opening for Terry Fator's Vegas show

Yes she was robbed.

[underseasurveyor]

10. Mr. undersea and I agree.

We thought Arkansas should have won too.

Miss Nebraska? :wtf: eeew

[femmocrat]

9. She is only 17.

At least she wasn't as confused as that Miss SC candidate a few years ago...."such as..."

Those girls never give lefty answers... it would probably disqualify them!

[Uben]

11. I never watch pageants.....

Why would I possibly care who a panel of judges deems to be more talented and beautiful than all others? The premise alone is exclusive. I have seen pageant parents and what they do to their kids. I wouldn't do that to my kid for any amount of money.
Dressing a six year old up to look like a friggin hooker seems immoral to me. They don't need make-up, they're still into make-believe! Let em be kids! I see adult pageants as just an extension of these exploitations because a lot of the pageants have been doing it since they were children. I feel sorry for them, I really do, and I will never be a party to advocating such behavior.

12. Gabrielle Giffords registered as a republican upon turning 18.

And maintained that registration for 11 years before concluding that she could no longer stomach the republican worldview and re-registered as a democrat. It should be noted that Scanlan plans to register as an independent in deeply republican and red Nebraska. Maybe the one year that she will have away from home will change Scanlan for the better. Possibly her going to the college that she plans to attend will turn her stomach on that college's worldview. What I know is that at 17, she is very much an unfinished book. Maybe she will become a beautiful, rightwing talking head bent on controlling other people's lives. Or maybe she will see the light and like Giffords, move to a saner worldview.

13. Sorry I missed it....SERIESLY!!11!11!

The third question is for Miss Nebraska and it is "How do we balance the people's right to know with the need of government security?" She talks about how the security of the nation is more important than people's right to know. She just lost Joy Behar's vote. :spray:

:patriot: :sarcasm: :popcorn:

In her video package talking about being a young woman today, Miss Arkansas talks about how advantageous it is that she is "racially ambiguous." It was ... a weird thing to say.

:wtf:

Miss Iowa: "Leading the state in ethanol production, my state gives you gas." I'm so proud to be an Iowan tonight.

:crazy:

Miss Utah: "Tonight 53 women share a dream, not a husband." That reminds me -- set the DVR for "Big Love."

:rofl:

Miss Colorado tells Brooke Burke that had she made it, she would've tap danced to "9 to 5" by Dolly Parton. I am extraordinarily sad we missed out on that.

:spray:

Miss Arkansas is a yodeling ventriloquist with two (count 'em, two) dummies while wearing a red sparkly strapless jumpsuit.



And lots of people claim that she got ROBBED???????? The "racially ambiguous" comment prolly confused the dimwit judges to begin with, and the sparkly jumpsuit sealed her fate IMO. She is very attractive though, which is more than I can say about 60-70% of the usual MA contestants.

[bluestate10]

21. "racially ambiguous". I hope you ere just being sarcastic.

Racially ambiguous means that a person can cross back and forth between the two groups of their racial makeup without issues. I watched the finalist selection for 10 minutes. I took Miss Arkansas as a white brunette until her comment was made. I looked closer and she looked like a tanned white. I missed the yodeling part. Glad that I did.

[Earth Bound Misfit]

22. I assumed the sarcasm would be obvious...

..."racially ambiguous" comment prolly confused the dimwit judges to begin with...

But now I remember...this DU/GD 2011...Home of the "I'm more Progressive than you" Police.

;)

16. These pageants all seem to come up with the most mediocre

entrant as the winner. How many years has it been since we had someone who was smart enough to think?

[SheilaT]

17. The very first Miss America

Margaret Gorman, was just 16 when she won. How did 17 become younger than 16? Have I been counting wrong all these years?

[walldude]

18. They still have that shit?

Beauty Pagents? LMAO....

[Ishoutandscream2]

19. Outdated crap

I went over to my grandmother-in-law's house, and she had it on. I was thoroughly embarrassed, watching that contrived garbage. I left grandma's as quickly as possible. She only lives three miles from us, so I can see her any time.

[Ilsa]

20. I guess she won't mind the nude-o-scope and the groping at the airport, then. nt

[Odin2005]

23. 17? she looks 30.

[aaaaaa5a]

25. What does it say about us….

that a girl just 17 years old is suppose to instill or set the standard as to how beauty and women are defined in America?

What is the median age of women in this country? I bet it is a lot higher than 17. And its probably less blond too.


I've never been a big believer in these kinds of contests. Sorry.
