ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- Nina Davuluri became the second consecutive contestant from New York to win the Miss America pageant.

Davuluri won the title as the nationally televised pageant returned home to Atlantic City.

She succeeds another Miss New York, Mallory Hagan, whose tenure was cut short when the pageant moved back to Atlantic City after a six-year stint in Las Vegas, where winners were chosen in January.

Davuluri performed a classical Bollywood fusion dance for her talent competition. She is the first winner of Indian descent.

"She's Arab, a terrorist, how could they 4 days after 9/11?"

(Oh, the stupid, it hurts.....)

2. Indians get highly offended if you call them Arabs.

And muslims are a minority in mostly-Hindu India.

Wouldn't want to confuse the pea-brained teabaggers with facts, though.
