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.

From "Miss Congeniality"

What is the one most important thing our society needs?

"That would be harsher punishment for parole violators, Stan.

And, world peace."

Those metal detectors at the Mall can be soo-o intrusive. Better to have the government monitor everybody’s phone calls, internet traffic and financial transactions.

And will be a school teacher someday soon

"And in other news, the former Alabama contestant to the 2013 Miss USA Pageant, Mary Margaret McCord, was arrested outside of her classroom along with her alleged 16-year old lover and was charged with 30 counts of rape by an authority figure. The 16-year old unidentified male was charged with interfering with a police officer in the line of duty when he tried to prevent the arrest of Miss McCord. He has been booked and released to his parents. Arraignments for both and bond hearing for Miss McCord will be next week."

That’s an awfully fine package for scrambled brains. What a shame.

Except for the “ so both, then,” isn’t this Obama’s answer to the question? Perhaps not as articulate.

Genius. She is a future White House Press secretary.

Bubba Klinton has probably already called offering her a job.

No wonder she won.

She defines America in the year 2013. Long may she reign.

One thing though, the video I shot with her celebrating her victory in her hotel room last night - you know - the one with the ‘little person’ and the donkey?

I promise not to sell that to TMZ. It made the rounds here at the lunch room in the NSA data center in Utah yesterday. A HOOT!

Little people are strong! Resilient too!

Though I take the opposing position, her answer actually makes sense when read right.

Tragedy that Miss Oklahoma didn't win!

You want another mouth to feed and clothes to buy?

No clothes allowed!

You want to have to share the bathroom and/or a bedroom?

No problem.

Utility costs with water and electrical usage? Can you really afford to have this living in your house?

Yes!

Besides, what would your family and neighbors think?

Who cares? I don’t!

As I said on another thread, they're still really beauty pageants. Just don't say it out loud. I mean, like anyone watches them to hear their opinions on the NSA.
