hosted ^ | Feb 24

The mayor of Beverly Hills is outraged over a Miss California USA contestant who spoke out against same-sex marriage and said she represented the city in the pageant. In a statement Wednesday, Mayor Nancy Krasne said that 23-year-old Lauren Ashley lives in Pasadena and doesn't represent Beverly Hills in any capacity. She said she was shocked to see statements made by a beauty pageant contestant under the name of Beverly Hills, "which has a long history of tolerance and respect."

Some brothers wanna play that “hard” role. And tell you that the butt ain’t gold. So they toss it and leave it. And I pull up quick to retrieve it

Apparently Mayor Nancy Krasne is the self anointed, high and mighty poster child of tolerance. Eye-roll.

Beverly Hills won’t stand for people attacking their pedophiles, rapists, muggers or any other freaky weirdos either! They are “tolerant” in Beverly Hills.

I respect the beauty queen for at least having cognizance of truth, although she may also be highly criticized for being apologetic in recognizing the truth, instead of dogmatically stating it.

I have no respect, but consider the commentator from Beverly Hills to be a perverse, criminal, degenerate, eroding our society from where it once held a vision of improvement, to now having nothing honorable to think of itself for a lifetime.

Way to go these beauty queens, beauty and brains, can’t beat that!! (or maybe it’s just their inner beauty, and smarts)!

Because intolerance is something they will not tolerate

“She said she was shocked to see statements made by a beauty pageant contestant under the name of Beverly Hills, “which has a long history of tolerance and respect.”

This is the last word in double-speak. They don’t have any tolerance or respect for this contestant, who was merely stating a personal opinnion that differs from theirs.

So the Mayor of Beverly Hills thinks it’s OK to go anal?
Perhaps he needs to be tolerant of others with another point of view.

The denizens of Beverly Hills didn’t vote for Prop 8. It was passed by the Hispanics who clean their houses and care for their lawns. This is what cracks ME up.
