We forgive you. The Democrats have been losing ground for a generation and now their lock on single white women has been shattered. When the blacks step off the liberal plantation, THAT will be the end of the world for them.

Dunno, don't care.
The troops will love her
and they're the ones who count.
(Do I need to specify the "male" troops)?

It's all fun and games until some Freeper male gazes too long at the "Girls of the DNC" collage and is turned to stone.

Yep.
I am so grateful she's one of us.
No bubble-head mouthing "global warming"
and other such nonsense.
Big mistake crowning an OK girl.
Like you pointed out,
she comes from a Bush (red)state.

I don't think the RED color of the bikini is coincidental. Only a brain-dead liberal bimbette would wear ugly blue. :)

That Miss Missouri is absolutely stunning in some of these
photographs.  I wanted to give honorable mention to two other
Miss USA Contestants.  Here they are.

  Miss Alaska USA, Cari Leyva, wears a helmet and flak jacket as she
prepares to go for a ride inside a U.S. Marine Amphibious assault
vehicle as part of a USO (United Services Organizations) supported trip
to Camp Pendleton by Miss USA 2004 delegates, April 1, 2004.

Miss Florida USA, Kristen Berset, waves from atop a U.S. Marine Amphibious assault vehicle during a visit in support of the USO (United Services Organizations) to Camp Pendleton in Oceanside, California April 1, 2004.

I was thinking of Shandi. She's the kind of woman that men would kill for. Beautiful women have been the source of inspiration and heartbreak to the stronger sex for centuries.

Did I hear "supersized?" Wow and she can maintain a figure? The obesity lawsuit lawyers will have to look for a new line of work than taking it out on McDonalds. If a beauty queen can be beautiful after having a humongous burger and large fries, any one can.
