Conservatives Find Great Importance In Miss USA Pageant.
Who knew political conservatives cared so deeply about a beauty pageant?
Last week, organizers of the Miss USA pageant published promotional photos recently of contestants wearing lingerie. Fox News’ Sean Hannity and Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) were outraged, and Gohmert suggested the promotional shots can be linked to “economic chaos,” which in turn leads to Americans being “willing to give up liberty.”
Now that the pageant has come and gone, we can move on to more meaningful matters, right? Wrong — the right is outraged again, because conservatives disapprove of the winning contestant. Indeed, it’s apparently the single most important story of the day on far-right blogs.
