Donald Trump calls a press conference to announce that he is not going to fire the reigning Miss USA, Tara Conner. Why call a press conference when you decide not to do something? I'll tell you why. PUBLICITY, that's why! So Tara Conner likes to party. A major NYC newspaper reported that she failled a drug test and that she was kicked out of her complimentary Trump Towers apartment. She was seen kissing Miss Teen USA, in public. She's been seen drinking, in public, before turning 21. You'd think that the Miss USA people would take her aside and tell her to straighten up or they'll send her back to Nowhere, Kentucky. I can hear Trump's people saying, "No, we can get more publicity, from this, than we could ever afford to buy! Hell, General Tom will write about us in his blog!"
Well, guys, it worked. I've never been much into the beauty pageant scene. Reports say that Tara has been competing in pageants since she was 4. I was asked to judge the local County Fair Queen Contest, twice. I did it only because I was asked. The money was a plus. Rewarding a girl because she's pretty (inheriting good looking genes) seems odd to me. The ability to skillfully apply makeup is also important and also carries a reward. The world has a way of rewarding pretty women - always has. With all this going for her, why would Tara screw up by getting drunk in public, fail drug tests and hit on another girl in public - why? I'll tell you why - white trash! Tara, you got the title, find the meaning of dignity.
Trump would fire you in a NY minute, sweetie, if it would benefit him. The greater benefit to him is to hold a press conference and to make himself look like a caring guy. PUBLICITY! He doesn't give a rat's rear end about you or about second chances. The picture is laughable! Oh - the Miss USA Pageant airs on NBC. This story was covered by all media, including non-NBC TV stations! This episode was a success!
BTW do you know where the rival Miss America Pageant airs? Care to guess? CMT, Country Music Television.
