It appears that the leading 2009 Miss America contestant from Texas lost her chance to win the title during the judging when she was ambushed by a gay judge. Miss Texas gave the wrong "political" answer to the gay marriage question.
Based on this ambush, it seems to me that this contest needs to clarify or redefine its eligibility criteria. It is dead wrong to change the rules of the contest during or after the fact. In this case, it should have been stated up front that the contestants must support gay marriage to enter and win this beauty contest.
Suppose a few federal income tax laws were changed after the April 15 deadline. Then taxpayers were fined for not following the rules. Holy 1040 TaxMan.
Suppose we played a championship football game and changed the point value for a touchdown … after the game. Yikes. Fans would go bonkers. Soccer fans would start a riot were this to happen.
If being politically correct is a necessary qualification in this Miss America contest, then it should be clearly stated up front. Make it clear to the contestants that they must support gay marriage or any other pre-qualification that the judges deem important. ... The Right Jack
