The dearth of news over the Holiday Week has pushed the marginal stuff to center stage. Yes, in case you had not heard, Donald Trump, the most overexposed capitalist of our time, has given Tara Conner , the current Miss USA, a reprieve and a second chance. The Donald owns both the Miss USA and the Miss Universe contests. A reprieve from what you say?
Seems Ms. Conner has been shall we say partying into the wee hours in the Big Apple. I cannot find any particular court other than the court of shall we say public opinion, read tabloids, that advanced this bit of news.
But here is the good part. Tara who is just turning 21 and is from a small town in Kentucky, well at least before she embarked on turning herself into a beauty contestant. But the official line from The Donald is that Tara, after a long talk with The Donald, will be going into, yep, Rehab. And so she will serve as a, er ahm well, good example for others.
Okay, now let me get this straight. It's okay for Ms. Universe to go into rehab during her reign. Apparently running into rehab is now deriguer for celebrities seeking a quick way both off center stage and out of their problems. In the last few months we have seen Mel Gibson, Congressman Foley, Mike Richards, and now Tara all headed for Rehab . Just imagine, the 2007 Miss USA contest.
And now the Betty Ford Center for Recovering Just About Everybody presents,
The 2007 Miss USA Contest.
Formerly a showcase for genetically near perfect women, the contest has now expanded to include those stricken with chemical dependency. We think this Big Tent inclusionary focus will appeal to the millions of chemically dependent viewers who can now better relate to the contestants and their problems.
Now for the really big irony here. You will recall that The Donald was originally married to Ivana Trump. But he started carrying on with Marla Maples and in fact installed her in the same hotel that Ivana was managing at the time. He subsequently married and divorced Marla and just this year married Slovenian model Melanie Knauss. Is there an ethics problem here?
IN granting Tara a reprieve, Donald stated that everyone deserves a second chance. This will no doubt come as a surprise to Carolyn Kepcher . Caroly was featured as Trump's top aid on the Apprentice until he feared her popularity might challenge his, so he fired her. Gee no second chance here. Maybe Carolyn should have claimed substance abuse, being around the substance of The Donald would be abusive to most anyone I would think.
