Beauty and the beast of war (Miss USA)
Her name is Shandi and she says she'll use her position as the new Miss USA to explain US involvement in Iraq.

After accepting the title at the 52nd annual pageant, the 25-year-old graduate student from Missouri, said: "What needed to be done had to be done."

Shandi Finnessey, a Republican and 1.8 metre blonde from St Louis, is an author and wrote a book called The Furrtails, as part of her aim to integrate mentally retarded children into regular classrooms.

She has a master's degree in counselling and also plays piano and violin.

2. shilling
It seems to me that Ms. Finnessey is a typical Republican in America today. Comfortable and optimistic to a fault...of course we went to Iraq for the "right" reasons...to do otherwise would be unthinkable.

Thier naivety would be quaint if it weren't propping up and shilling for mass murder.

4. Barbie does Patton
She's obviously been studying with the same speech instructors as Rummy and Bush.

"What needed to be done had to be done."


God, that's a friggin' brilliant analysis. An intellectual powerhouse. And you know what makes me mad? There are girls who are just as beautiful who also THINK, but that wouldn't represent the America of George Bush. And of course, if she thinks, she probably wouldn't have entered in the first place.

6. Big deal.
With the exception of the one pageant winner who got kick out for having nude pictures of herself, was there ever really one of these people who ever even made a dent in American history?
"Blah blah blah, I'm pretty and look at me...sniff sniff sniff sniff...thank you for choosing me to be someone who no one really gives a shit about". "If I am elected leader of the plastic crown, I will use all my power to change the world....blah blah blah".
I read this shit this morning and laughed. She (like shrub) obviously have no loved ones getting their asses shot at in Iraq every day. Send her over there in her high heels, cheesy crown and her violin and let her play the troops some lovely tunes.
