Miss Nevada's mom FURIOUS that judges put daughter on the spot!
Miss Nevada's controversial pro-Yucca Mountain stance was sparked by "ruthless" judges involved in the Miss America Pageant interview process, according to her mother.

"They really nailed her on the interview," said Lena Wosik. "The judges were ruthless."

In Thursday's interview, Miss Las Vegas Crystal Wosik, who won the Miss Nevada title, was asked by one of the preliminary judges about the planned nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain. Wosik replied, "It has to go someplace, and that was the best-built facility in the country," Nevada's state pageant director, Nancy Ames, told the Reno Gazette-Journal.

And if people die?

"We just have to take one for the team," said contestant Wosik, according to Ames. Wosik's mom, an orthodontist assistant, said the interviewing process leaves no room ''for middle ground. You have to have strong beliefs, and they were putting her on the spot."

1. Good grief
:eyes:

Sounds like mom is part of the "entitlement society" and believes that her precious daughter should not have to face the hard questions.

3. "Take one for the team?" Does she mean the BushCo Corporate Crony Team?
Edited on Sun Jan-22-06 11:53 PM by SpiralHawk
The Culture of Corruption team? Screw that.

She is welcome to take all she can handle.

As for me, I will take a pass.

Please do not generate any perpetual nuclear garbage on my behalf, and by no means should you dump any of that crap anywhere on my planet.

Thank you very much.

18. That is what I thought
I suspect that the little princess is one of those people who would tell us that it is our patriotic duty to support the president no matter what.

13. Well, at least she's not NIMBY about it
Of course Nevada is a relatively large state, and she probably lives far away from Yucca Mtn, but I'll give her credit for recognizing that the waste does go somewhere.

21. I hate NIMBY
It reminds me of a recent Simpsons episode, where the air traffic routes from Springfield Airport were changed and the Simpsons have Krusty run for congress so he can pass a bill to change the routing of flights.

At the end of the episode, we hear, "Finally, the planes are back where they belong: Over poor peoples' houses."

14. Is there any way we can get those judges to cross-examine Gonzales
in the upcoming wire-tapping hearings?

What kind of f-d up country is it where beauty queens get tougher questions than our president?

15. OH MY GOD
such a beauty pageant response. "What would you do if you were to win?" "Well, shucks, promote world peace". "Miss Nevada, if the Government wanted to bury nuclear waste in your mountains, what would you say?" Well, bejeburs, "we just have to take one for the team."

MY GOD, DO THESE WOMEN EVEN THINK?
