I'll be the first to request photographic verification that this woman exists and is Miss USA. Nothing less than swimsuit competition evidence will suffice.

The 5-foot-11, blue-eyed blond Republican insists the United States has never been more together.

From Reuters:

"Finnessey, a statuesque 5-foot-11 blonde from St. Louis, wrote a book called "The Furrtails," as part of her aim to integrate mentally retarded children into regular classrooms. She has a master's degree in counseling and also plays piano and violin.

At a party following the event, Fennessey described her social life as "totally single and looking."

A Republican, she told Reuters she would use her position to help explain America's involvement in Iraq. "What needed to be done had to be done," she said."

We are Together as we can be under a Republican president. RATS don't care about the good of the country , they only care about RATS in positions of power and if they think that taking the side of the enemy in time of war is going to get them voted into office , they have no problem getting into that bed.

"Finnessey, a 5-foot-11, blue-eyed blonde who said her favorite food is a supersized extra-value meal from McDonald's, jumped up and down and pumped her right arm while steadying the crown with her left hand after it was pinned on by outgoing titleholder Susie Castillo.

She holds bachelor's and master's degrees in psychology and counseling from Lindenwood University, and would like to use her counseling degree in a television job. She has published a children's book.

Finnessey, of Florissant, Mo., listed bungee jumping and wrestling a greased pig in a mud pit as the craziest things she has ever done."

At 25, she's too young for this ol' poop.

Is it any surprise that it's the beautiful, intelligent and talented American women who support our President and military heros? There's a striking absence of nastybutt broom-riders in the pro-America/life/freedom club.
