I realize the whole Miss California thing has been done to death by this point, so believe it or not it actually kind of pains me to bring it back at least one more time around here.
But last night's Keith Olbermann takedown of the entire controversy -- and the opportunistic dingbat at the center of it -- is worth watching not so much for Olbermann's usual caustic wit as for one particular shot. One that I'm sure has been shown before, but which I at least failed to catch. At about 1:28 into this clip, look for the scene from the actual Miss USA pageant -- when Carrie Prejean, Miss California, walks across the stage. In the audience is an entire row of screaming, cheering dead-ringers for Prejean herself (you have to figure they're Miss California runners-up or something), each girl holding a card with one letter over her head with the intention, I'd imagine, of spelling out the word "CALIFORNIA." Unfortunately, the cards are out of order. The result is likely how Prejean and her fellow contestants spelled their home state on their initial pageant applications.
By the way, ten bucks says one of these girls will be drafted to ghost write Palin's memoir.
