NORM: Judges irk mother of Miss Nevada

Miss Nevada's controversial pro-Yucca Mountain stance was sparked by "ruthless" judges involved in the Miss America Pageant interview process, according to her mother.

"They really nailed her on the interview," said Lena Wosik. "The judges were ruthless."

Wosik replied, "It has to go someplace, and that was the best-built facility in the country," Nevada's state pageant director, Nancy Ames, told the Reno Gazette-Journal.

And if people die?

"We just have to take one for the team," said contestant Wosik, according to Ames.

I'll bet Miss Nevada knows zilch about radiation.

catch what her misguided mother said:

Wosik's mom, an orthodontist assistant, said the interviewing process leaves no room ''for middle ground. You have to have strong beliefs, and they were putting her on the spot."

"It's a tragedy that we have nuclear waste, but it's got to go somewhere. I'm sure she'll get hate mail. I felt they should have been asking about education, not how she feels about strippers."


Miss Nevada is a 'lyrical dancer'. whatever that is

Homeland Security troops are stationed at the Pagent.

everyone seems to have gone mad - must be the toxins

What a supreme asshat.

Beat me to it.

A radiant beauty to be sure!

formal ball gown competitions, because this creature is not a Mensa candidate.

all the conservative talk shows?

Send in the trucks with the waste!

:shrug:

My reply would have been something like "How many people are dying from where we are storing waste now?"

That said, I have no sympathy. Someone running for Miss America is by definition a public figure, and needs to learn how to answer tough questions delicately. It comes with the job.

It might also help if she spent some time learning the issues so she could say something intelligent.

Does her platform consist of going around to different cancer wards thanking the patients for taking one for the team?

I ccould almost understand if she weren't from that area, if her teenage brother didn't have bone cancer, if she hadn't chosen cancer issues as her platform - her particular area of interest and expertise.

But given all that, this is a stunning display of her complete lack of brain activity.

out of the way first, they won't get cancer. She probably has as much sense as any other beauty pageant contestant...

to folks.

they speak of? I'm not, are you?

have a well-developed opinion about nuclear waste disposal? Really?

The primary qualification for being Miss America is being pretty, and the primary job role is traveling around to public events acting nice. That's it. Who cares what she thinks about nuclear waste?

it's their contest, and if they want to keep pretending its about poise and scholarship (well, and "physical fitness in swimsuit"), I guess they can

So, the role we want modeled is ignorant and empty headed and inconsiderate of the pain of others?

We have to find somewhere to bury this waste- and people are deluding themselves if they don't think we're going to have to rely on much more nuclear power in the coming decades.

But that's not what she said- her response just invited a bimbo comparison.

Maybe they questioned her afterwards? How would SHE know how 'well built' anything is, apart from her chest?

about strippers."


strippers?!?! did i miss something -- i thought they were asking about yucca mt.:shrug:

please don't tell me i'm the only one who saw the strippers thingy.

I always thought that Miss America interview questions were along the lines of "Do you prefer puppies or kittens?"

Hmmm, trash talking isn't as gratifying with beauty contestants as it is among basketball players.

If she plays her cards right! There were those homeless security guards to impress for starters.

Actually.

Not that I particularly care.

The fewer people that see this crap, the better off we all are.
