I refused to watch the video, but sadly I was trapped listening to the audio of her blubbering while driving in to work today. I wish this was truly harmless fluff, but it is not. This is why Islamists hate us. Many of them don’t want to move the world back to the 7th century as much as they just don’t want their daughters winding up on the Muslim version of the Jerry Springer show. This is how the rest of the world views America, by our media. Their perception of Americans is based on Springer, Maury, Wife Swap, Simple Life and Supernanny. We watch these shows and say, “What a bunch of freaks.” The rest of the world sees these shows and say, “What a bunch of Americans.”

Yeah, it is just a silly competition, but on the other hand, our winner is a coked-up skank who’s going to rehab for alcoholism. It absolutely reinforces the view that our society is decadent and that we really don’t care about personal dignity anymore.

And you are right about this type of thing being one of the reasons why many Muslims despise us.

I am reminded of this:

Concerning women’s rights in general, most Muslim women polled associated sex equality with the West. Seventy-eight percent of Moroccan women, 71 percent of Lebanese women and 48 percent of Saudi women polled linked legal equality with the West. Still, a majority of the respondents did not think adopting Western values would help the Muslim world’s political and economic progress.

The most frequent response to the question, “What do you admire least about the West?” was the general perception of moral decay, promiscuity and pornography that pollsters called the “Hollywood image” that is regarded as degrading to women.

She would probably learn more from losing her crown.

You missed my point. I love beauty queens as much as anyone, but there is so much counseling and treatment afforded to the rich and famous, but very little to your average addict.

It makes more sense to place our emphasis on giving the best counseling and therapy to those who would otherwise turn to a life of crime and violence.

News flash: You have to possess drugs to take them. And an addict doesn’t think of the consequences b/c they are ill.

Can you guess that I’m not a proponent of the War on Drugs?

Does that annoy anyone else as much as it does me?

YES!!

Yawn. Wake me when this becomes second-hand news.

bbz123, thanks for the tip – the Bonaduce video is great!

Good for:

- Bimbos and nitwits
- Her, Mr. Trump who runs these things, and TV (Bonaduce)
- Supply of tears
- Rehab centers, with lots of celebrities
- Soap operas, rags at the checkouts, and sex industry
- Socialists who excuse everything, sin accountability
- Do-gooders, feelers, psychologists
- Beautiful but empty-headed women
- Men
- The terrorists and all who loathe our current culture

Bad for:

- Youth
- Women
- NOW (no, I’m not a feminist!!!!)
- As, RightWinged said, language
- America

Remember Sara Conner, I was on your side when all those bad people were talking you down. It’s time we celebrated your victory, just you and me. I always believed you’d win.

I think you mean “Tara” not “Sara”… this isn’t a Terminator movie…. no matter how much truther “John Conner” of the Resistance Manifesto would like it to be.

At any rate, I still maintain that she should have gotten the boot, if for nothing else, for pronouncing “especially” “eXpecially”.

Maybe I’m veering too off-topic now.

As for the Trump saving her part – he probably just did the opposite, actually.

You’re right. If she is just an immature party girl, maybe she will be able to control herself now she has been read the riot act. But, if she is truly an addict, I would expect her to fall of the wagon a few times. If it happens, there will be no third chance.

But while we’re at it – almost every time I’ve noted a through-the-roof hotness factor, the female in question said they were tomboys (like Miss Tara) growing up. Hmmm….

As for the Trump saving her part – he probably just did the opposite, actually. Yep, everyone gets a second or third, fourth chance to screw up even worse the next time, these days.

You go, girl! Go and be the best Miss USA you can be – hahahahaha.

I’ll give her until New year’s eve.

Also, for all those talking about whether she’s hot or not. I agree with AP that she’s hot… but she’s like the stuck up biatch that you see in a bar that you wouldn’t even waste your time with because you can see how stuck up she is a mile away. Plus, am I the only one who finds fake jugs unattractive?

1) Who really gives an airborne copulation?
2) Why does “La Donald” get to decide?
3) Is “Miss USA” anything like “Miss America”, or
4) Is the phrase “cheap knockoff” appropriate here?
5) Does Tara do bar mitzvahs? Graduation parties?
6) Does anybody believe this “reform” crapola?
7) Can I have my 5 minutes back?

I don’t have too much of a problem with her getting a second chance. I think them doing a press conference was kinda lame. At the press conference I was laughing at the stupid questions from the media. I think if they had stones they’d have stoned her lol with the questions they kept asking over and over almost trying to talk Trump out of it.

I wish Spears and the other celeb ladies who keep showing their bare goods would be half as humbled as this gal appeared to be. I think the ratings have slipped because it used to be cool way back when to oogle the women as meat and now we have spent a few decades trying to change that image. I just know growing up..those pageants were popular and talked about a lot, now they aren’t.

Wow! Lousy move Tara: with this sorry attempt at drama you’ve destroyed any future Hollywood career for sure. Pathetic. Unconvincing. Who cares!

THere’s always those Girls Gone Wild late night infor-mercials…

Why does a beauty queen get a second chance, but addicts on street drugs go to jail and never get a second chance?

One, she has not been convicted of breaking any laws. Nor, is there sufficient evidence to arrest and convict her. Two, addicts, where there is legal evidence of possession or even possession for sale/sale of small amounts, get numerous chances to obtain treatment in lieu of incarceration. Now, stop picking on hot beauty queens!
