Miss USA Pageant, what were you thinking?

Perez Hilton is entertaining and I don't blame him for being who he is, an outspoken celebrity blogger and entertaining guest on gossip shows like Tyra Banks and Chelsey Lately.

I question the choice of Perez Hilton by the Miss USA Organization as a judge for their pageant. He is well known for raw, outspoken and controversial remarks on his website criticizing famous people he dislikes, "outing" gay celebrities and fawning over his favorites stars.

Pageant organizers have been conspicuously silent but remarks on the Miss USA website overwhelmingly support Miss California. She overwhelmingly wins the popular poll of the "Top Ten Contestants".

The question about gay marriage posed to Miss California by Perez Hilton is an important issue and she bravely answered it honestly. Perez didn't like Carrie Prejean's answer and has unleashed a tirade against her along with doing his part to make sure she didn't win Miss America.

In Perez' blog he went on to call her a dumb B____, does that mean it is okay for people to call him and anyone else they disagree with names of similar context? Is it okay to call him a dumb F__? Should someone who disagrees with this blog call me a dumb A-hole?

Is this the country we want to become? "I am an American, disagree with me and I will call you names, trash your career and do everything I can to destroy you!"

Real debate on the issues is important, win some, lose some and continue to strive for the things you believe in.

I believe in America and Perez Hilton's right to his beliefs.
I wish Perez believed in Miss America's right to hers.
