Miss USA and the Culture Wars

Is nothing sacred? Once again the Miss USA pageant has controversy over a contestant's answer to a controversial question.

An unhappy crowd booed Miss USA judge Oscar Nunez when he asked Miss Oklahoma Morgan Elizabeth Woolard a question about Arizona’s immigration law on Sunday night’s pageant.

But could Woolard's answer have cost her the crown?

The "The Office" star asked Woolard if she supported Arizona’s right to enforce the law, which requires police to verify a person's immigration status if there's "reasonable suspicion" that the person is in the country illegally.


"I'm a huge believer in states' rights. I think that's what's so wonderful about America," Woolard said. "So I think it's perfectly fine for Arizona to create that law."


Let me predict what will happen. Left wing radical activists will demonize Miss Oklahoma. Miss Oklahoma will become a heroine of the tea party movement and she'll get a guest hosting spot on the weekend edition of Fox and Friends. This isn't just sill but now it's just plain boring.
