Miss Alabama Totally Cool With NSA Spying Because, Um, the Mall
New York Magazine ^ | 6/17/2013 | Joe Coscarelli

Posted on 06/17/2013 12:10:16 PM PDT by nickcarraway

The second-most-nonsensical answer from last night's Miss USA contest, the winner of which gets to spend more time with Donald Trump, came from masters student Mary Margaret McCord of Alabama, who took on a thorny question about NSA surveillance. "Is this an invasion of privacy or necessary to keep our country safe — why or why not?" asked a judge, with no regard for the English language. If the question was word salad, the answer was filet mignon.

"I think the society that we live in today, it's sad that if we go to the movies, or to the airport, or even to the mall that we have to worry about our safety," McCord said. "So I would rather someone track my telephone messages and feel safe wherever I go than feel like they're, um, encroaching on my privacy." So both, then?

We owe Edward Snowden for this one.

Does being attractive preclude one from being intelligent?

Based on observation and experience, they don’t seem to go together very often.

Miss McCord, they should give you a free vacation to Venus for that!

There is nothing attractive about ignorance. Idiocy like this is a complete turn-off to me. As far as I’m concerned, she could pass for Sandra Fluke’s twin sister.

“Why do they allow these women to talk?”

Because the rich men courting (buying) them after the show require a minimum level of brain function and maturity in their sex partners.

A spectacularly gorgeous girl with the intellect of a 10 year old is just painful and happens quite often. It’s like getting into a Ferrari and finding out it has a Yugo engine.

Men with such intellect can barely make it out of the house but looks can take a completely dumb girl very very far. It starts in school when the nerds do all their homework and let them copy exams.

There is at least one Alabama girl that evidently does not own a gun.

And will be a school teacher someday soon,

I hadn’t thought about that. It makes perfect sense. Plenty of chicks here at UF are going for their Mrs. degree.

“She went to Alabama so that explains it...”

Well Alabama is somewhat reasonable as state colleges go. Not stellar but not worthy of your comments. One advantage these kids have is being in alabama itself which is a bit more receptive to conservative values than schools in many other areas. I would rather my kids go to Alabama that many leftist indoctrination centers in the NE.

She is exactly what MSNBC is looking for, to raise news reader ratings.

If FOX doesn’t snatch her up first.
