Carrie Prejean is still Miss California

Miss USA pageant owner Donald Trump announced today that Miss California Carrie Prejean will not be stripped of her crown over newly discovered shocking topless pictures, possibly because the pictures are neither topless nor shocking. People.com says…

Prejean, 21, failed to reveal before last month’s Miss USA pageant that she had posed in her underwear as a teenager. But Trump said, “We are in the 21st century … and Carrie is a model, she’s a very successful model, we have determined – and we have the absolute right under the contract – we have determined that the pictures taken are fine.”

Are people under the impression that Miss California is like the governor or something? It’s sort of implied that any contest that includes the contestant in a bikini and high heels won’t result in the winner being given control of the legislature, so calm down everyone. She’s pretty, and she thinks things that may or may not be what you think, but that’s okay because we allow that here. She has power over my pants and whether they stay on or come off, but that’s about where her authority ends.
