Even Bill Clinton attended a Catholic school - and he's about as far from being a Catholic as you can be.

Seems the same to me. Both hot women that use their bodies for money and both believe in fairy tales for their basis on what life is about. I don't see how you see a diffence in that.

Well thank God that in order for the Muslim to win she had to strip and strut her stuff -- that shows that American culture is winning out. How terrible it would be if the Muslims were winning and a burka clad Muslim won.

I don't - they all are women who use their bodies to get money and a short fame - but one got kicked out and the other will not. That's the reality. It's really all about political correctness, this one gave the "right" kind of liberal answer -- pro-birth control, pro-government. That's a win-win for her. And its a win-win-win with her Muslim faith.

Nothing really - but it was the "right" answer with a politically correct contest like this. It's that the other one refused to toe the line so she was tossed.

Now if this Muslim woman would have said she didn't believe the government should provde free birth control or even said she didn't believe in birth control, the stripping would likely get her the boot -- but maybe not because it all depends on how the ranking of each factor as far as political correctness.

Exactly! And if they don't, they are purely hypocritical!

BTW it was meant as a joke.
