Miss Deviant USA

The New York Times, in a continuing effort to challenge their “All the news that’s fit to print” mantra, announces that the controversial Miss USA will get a second chance to preserve her reign.

He characterized her choices as “very, very bad.” But in the end Donald J. Trump magnanimously announced today that he would give a second chance to Miss USA, Tara Conner, the beauty pageant winner who has been the subject of numerous published reports of alcohol and drug use and wild partying.

Miss Conner, who just turned 21, fought back tears as she appeared at a news conference with Mr. Trump, a co-owner of the Miss Universe Organization. Wearing a light blue shirt under a dark pinstripe suit, Ms. Conner acknowledged drinking alcohol while under the legal age, but said that it would be “pushing” it to say that she had a drinking problem.

Personally, I think they’re moving in the wrong direction here. If the Miss USA pageant is going to have continued relevance, they should be competing with the Paris and Linlo set. I’d like to see a Miss USA that would hit the stage in a torn dress, no knickers and a crack pipe in full blaze.

Discuss.
