LAS VEGAS - A 24-year-old Arab American from Michigan beat out 50 other women to take the 2010 Miss USA title Sunday night, despite stumbling in her evening gown.

Rima Fakih of Dearborn, Mich., won the pageant at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip after strutting confidently in an orange and gold bikini, wearing a strapless white gown that resembled a wedding dress and saying health insurance should cover birth control pills.

When asked how she felt about winning the crown, she said, "Ask me after I've had a pizza."

"During the interview portion, Fakih was asked whether she thought birth control should be paid for by health insurance. "I believe that birth control is just like every other medication even though it's a controlled substance," Fakih said."

[reaganrevolutionin2010]

Not surprising that a muslim would think of birth control - which effectively destroys a life in the making - as 'medication'.

"I believe that birth control is just like every other medication even though it's a controlled substance," Fakih said."

A muslim from Dearbornistan? Imagine that. At least she has the dumb-bimbo intellect to go with the crown. And then again, if you're muslim, isn't entering a beauty contest heretical?

While she is pretty .... she won BECAUSE she was a Muslim.

[reaganrevolutionin2010]

You can say that again.

Gee...she better hurry and cover up or she is up the creek without a paddle.

Where is her “racy” lingere picture?

I think I saw it somewhere on Fox News.

[subterfuge]

From the photos, Maine and Texas blow her away. No pun intended.

[nmh]

Fox News had the “racy” pictures of Miss U.S.A. and ALLOT MORE THAN her ANKLE was showing ... .

I’m sure Osama Bin Laden is pleased....

Woolard handled the night's toughest question, about Arizona's new immigration law. Woolard said she supports the law, which requires police enforcing another law to verify a person's immigration status if there's "reasonable suspicion" that the person is in the country illegally.

And she's hot!

[Wyatt's Torch]

Gee...she better hurry and cover up or she is up the creek without a paddle.

Wonder if her family will kill her for disgracing them...you know, an "honor killing"...

She is a hairy beast. I bet the wax job costs double for her.

Orville Hubbard is spinning in his grave.

Remember his motto “Keep Dearborn Clean”?

We all knew what it REALLY meant.

Miss OK - far more beautiful than Miss Dearbornistan

[AFreeBird]

Does her dad run a Gyro shop?

[joseph20]

times a thousand!

[MortMan]

I heard on the radio she nearly tripped and fell over her gown, and yet she won.

I’m betting on a fix, too.
