Gentlemen, we’ll just have to be content watching the newsbabes on TV. They’re so pretty, and their sexiness is enhanced as they try to be serious.

“So what do the “win” (If it is totally based on judging Political Correctness)

“They” don’t win anything. It is Hillary’s crown. Forever.

BINGO! You nailed it.

The Miss America pageant meets the Fat Lady Sings. Big Don got out of the beauty pageant business just in time.

How were able to get all four of my ex-wives together like that? Did you mention something about an increase in alimony?

Selection to be made on politically correct accomplishment, scoring 1-10. Comepetition is open to women, men, children, apes, and porpoisi.

“Miss America is scrapping its swimsuit competition”.

The last reason I might watch is no more. Anything that says “female” is to be removed, I ‘spose.

Carlson would be working at Cracker Barrel if it wasn’t for swimsuit competitions.

Well, it’s still called “Miss America”. But maybe next year it’ll be “Person America”.

As a lifelong student and admirer of female anatomy, this saddens me greatly.

I'm sure soon it will be dominated by 'transgender' wymyn.

Is this supposed to make me more not care about the pageant, or less not care about the pageant? The whole thing has always been boring, and when I was growing up and watched television I resented the competition for interrupting the television schedule.

I associate Beauty pageants with repeated cosmetics commercials.

I can’t be the only one.
