I always find it amusing that jeering someone who is living a great life, competing in some vanity beauty contest is often universally derided as "classless," but the actions that bring on the jeering (policies of the US elite) are never referred to as such...
ReplyDeleteI think Miss USA will get through a little jeering just fine, something we can't say for all those affected by ridiculous US policies on immigration and countless other matters...
You would have a point, except that the booing supposedly happened since Miss mexico
ReplyDeletedid not go through to the top 5.
So to "classless" we may have to add "sore losers", too.
Those on the left, like More Axe, apparently, have a long history of considering any and every venue a legitimate platform to air their views. Miss USA did not go to Mexico to represent the policies of the Bush Administration. Odds are, she loathes them like most of us do. To make her--a 20 year old kid--a metaphor is pitiless and hateful.
ReplyDeleteHow's this for "a little jeering," More Axe: I hope your daughter is one day placed in a humiliating situation in front of countless people. What goes around, comes around.
Oye fabio. Ease up with the personal attacks please.
