Beautiful Loser
Jessica Gaulke, a Minnesota beauty queen, is doffing her tiara to head to Iraq, reports the Minneapolis Star Tribune:
Gaulke, 22, short-circuited her reign as Aquatennial Queen of the Lakes to satisfy her commitment to her Minnesota Army National Guard unit, which will head for the war in August.
"I know it's the right decision. . . . It's been an emotional ride, a long one," said Gaulke, queen since July. "But six months as queen was better than nothing."
This reminds us of a couple of quotes by American political leaders:- "You know, education--if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."--John Kerry*
- "If a young fellow has an option of having a decent career, or joining the Army to fight in Iraq, you can bet your life that he would not be in Iraq. . . . If there's anyone who believes these youngsters want to fight, as the Pentagon and some generals have said, you can just forget about it. No bright young individual wants to fight just because of a bonus and just because of educational benefits. And most all of them come from communities of very, very high unemployment."--Charles Rangel
What a terrible country we live in, in which even a beauty queen has no opportunities. And think of what a loser the runner-up must be!
* Though come to think of it, he must've been dumb enough to serve in the military himself, seeing as how he promised 705 days ago to release his military records.
