She'll be fine. She'll probably be more recognizable (marketable) now that she flubbed it, otherwise who remembers the third-runner up in a beauty pageant? But I agree about the parents--and don't get me started on the "pedophile pageants" for the Tiny Wee Miss whatever. That is so creepy!
Why would anyone be surprised that pageant girls aren't bright? It isn't a Fulbright competition for goodness sakes!
And watch out with that "war of northern agression" reference Rich! We are still fighting that war down here--just as soon as we can get the Hunley submarine running again, watch out!
