  "And she's probably a Republican..."

  "It's not just her dumbitude, which is considerable.

  Its also the perfection of her image, her hair, her lip gloss, and then the total absence of spark in her eyes, "black eyes, like a doll's eyes".

  And, she's probably a Republican, which explains a lot about why we're in Iraq and George Bush has yet to be impeached, removed, indicted, tried and convicted, and imprisoned for the rest of his unnatural life."

  THERE ya go! Gosh darn it, I had to read through nearly half the comments before I reached the insult de rigeur of the Republicans and the President of the United States!

  Of course, the one and only reason that anyone is laughing about the clip is that it featured a gloriously attractive blonde-haired white girl, from red-state South Carolina, in an All-American institution like the Miss Teen USA pageant. Things that all good liberals can work up a mean hate for...

  If instead of a pretty blonde from South Carolina, it had been a thoroughly/equally ignorant black girl with dreadlocks from Malcolm X High School in Detroit, uttering exactly the same words, in a Juneteenth Pageant, not a soul would have dared to crack so much as a smile.

  And that's probably as it should be. The best humor always arises out of the plight of the underdog, the downtrodden, at the expense of the rich and/or comfortable.

  But who in hell wants to be downtrodden?
