….on oh so many levels??<\/p>\n

\"MissUSA.jpg\"<\/form>\n

\nI’m flabbergasted by the right-wing pundits who are beside themselves<\/a> – BESIDE THEMSELVES<\/a> – that a young woman whose family is from Lebanon was chosen as Miss USA.<\/p>\n

First, as the above photo amply testifies, it was a damn good decision. Second, beauty pageants share their reputation for probity with state fair weight-guessers.<\/p>\n

I’m not shocked that Debbie Slussel has blown a gasket<\/a> – gasket-blowing is her stock in trade. I’m kinda disappointed in Daniel Pipes; he’s got far better things to put under his name than this column<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Look, this is what our goal is – to support an Arab and Muslim culture that fits into American culture…the tawdry parts and all. Get a clue, folks.<\/p>\n

And if there are other stunning young Arab women out there…I’m looking forward to the pageant photos.
