Miss USA Controversy

I watched the Miss USA 2009 pageant Sunday night. Miss North Carolina, Kristen Dalton, won. She's alright, but I don't think she was the most interesting of the contestants. Personally, I liked Miss Delaware-- who didn't place-- and Miss Kentucky (a Top-5 finalist). Anyway, first runner-up Carrie Prejean, Miss California, caused a stir with her answer to a rather serious interview question regarding same-sex marriage. She took a decidedly conservative stance. I don't think that's what cost Miss California the crown, though. (In fact, Prejean's sister is a gay rights activist.) I think she just came off as being none too bright. That seems to be happening a lot lately in the pageant world.
