....on oh so many levels??

I'm flabbergasted by the right-wing pundits who are beside themselves - BESIDE THEMSELVES - that a young woman whose family is from Lebanon was chosen as Miss USA.
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.
I'm not shocked that Debbie Slussel has blown a gasket - 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.
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.
And if there are other stunning young Arab women out there...I'm looking forward to the pageant photos.
