Rock-ribbed American conservative foreign policy savant Daniel Pipes uses his entirely not-creepy knowledge of beauty pageants to uncover a pattern of liberals pandering to the Islamofascists. Michelle Malkin points out that she obviously won because she supports birth control. So, to sum up – wingnuts hate when Muslim women wear revealing outfits, express political opinions, and have open discussions about sexual health. And they superhate the new Miss USA. Miss UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. How very interesting.
Don’t let it bother you, Miss Fakih. They hate you for your freedom.

Ummmm, you guys are clearly not up-to-date on your pageantiana. Last night was the Miss USA pageant, not to be confused with the Miss America pageant.
For what it’s worth, I was rooting for Miss Maine, but the Islamo-Facsist-pandering Liberati would NEVER allow a Tall Woman to win… they hate her for her elevated freedom :(
May 17, 2010 at 5:44 pm
Yeah, I don’t know how I got those mixed up.
FIXED.

I think your America hating had something to do with it.

I was hoping the tiara would be awarded to “the terrorists”.

I’m imagining the announcer at the podium with the envelope. “And the winner is” he says with grandiosity “drum roll please….” as he pauses dramatically “….. THE TERRORISTS!”
and then the crowd cheers wildly while the rightbloggers silently hold their heads in their hands and weep for democracy.
Or maybe they have seizures. That part is less clear in my head.

I saw them turn into human samovars squaking about ‘secular socialism’ and (*gasp*!) ‘Obamaism.
Yes, Obamaism is now an official Republican talking point. I heard Newt G use it on TV this morning, along with secular socialism, the new euphemism for ‘godless communism’.
Apparently, superficially liberal corporatism has been named after our president.

“superficially liberal corporatism has been named after our President”
Well it’s about timed somebody named it. Or maybe faux liberal triangulationism. Or maybe Clinton-Blair-Obamaism.
May 19, 2010 at 9:57 am
I thought superficially liberal corporatism was just called “home”

No one could have predicted that a beauty pageant would become the central front in the War on Terror.
May 17, 2010 at 6:05 pm
One of the voices in my head predicted it, but it was one of the ones that usually lies to me so I didn’t tell anyone. DAMN IT. I feel like Cassandra.

The next 6 months will be crucial in deciding who will be Miss Universe.
May 17, 2010 at 6:08 pm
I think it’s time we stop coddling the contestants and let them decide for themselves who is the prettiest.
May 18, 2010 at 10:45 am
That won;t be pretty.

And, according to Ann Althouse, Miss Oklahoma was totally robbed, all because she dared speak of “states rights.”

According to Toger Woods, “Uranus is mine”.

So if she wore a burkha and lost they would be happy?
May 17, 2010 at 7:20 pm
Actually, what pisses them off so much is that she won the swimsuit competition wearing one!

Clearly we have to move these beauty pageants to some other country where human life is less valuable. We’ll judge them there so we don’t have to judge them here.

Pipes:
Sarah Mendly, 23, was Miss Nottingham in 2005.
Not in Nottingham!
May 17, 2010 at 8:22 pm
And now Hinderaker is in, as you knew he would be, ’cause he just can’t get enough of the pulchritude. He’s not that bent out of shape over Fakih’s win since she’s hot, but he does call her a “quasi-Muslim” and hints her Christian “half” is the moderate one, if you know what he means.

Shit. Insert /blockquote in appropriate place.
May 17, 2010 at 9:05 pm
And then if you search Powerline Blog for “Miss USA” you’ll get Hinderaker himself undermining his own “I don’t normally get involved” claim.
May 17, 2010 at 8:39 pm
Look, I just don’t want my son marrying one. Even if he does wear a burka.

Nothing like a booty contest w/ half-time by Shakira airlifted in by Airwolf and Jean Michael-Vincent aka Stringfellow Hawke (?!?) playing cello in a boat for world peace and an end to world hunger.
Anyone have a Kleenex?
May 18, 2010 at 6:50 am
Speaking of Airwolf, why hasn’t anyone thought of sending it to fix the oil gusher in the Gulf?
