An Endorsement

Posted on by

This blog has never “Endorsed” political candidates – because, like, who cares what I think? 

And Shot In The Dark generally only gets into showbiz as a snarky critic or, occasionally, fanboy.

As to some of showbiz’ glitzier diversions?  This blog generally keeps its own counsel.

But one of the great pleasures I’ve had on the Northern Alliance this past year has been interviewing Brook Kilgarriff, Miss Minnesota, twice, at the state fair and then just before Christmas at the studio.  She was a delightful interview; sharp, unflappable, and just plain good on the air.  “Wow” moment for me; at the State Fair, she was promoting her CD (to benefit the Children’s Miracle Network), and mentioned that she’s attenting the Boston Conservatory, majoring in Musical Theatre.  So I suggested – jokingly – that she sing something for us, never expecting that she’d actually sing something a capella in front of a crowd with no warning.

But she did.  And she killed!

So anyway – while this blog rarely if ever “endorses” anyone or anything, I do declare that we are openly and utterly in the bag for Brooke in tomorrow’s Miss America Pageant, which is tomorrow on TLC.

Here’s hoping she can do for Minnesota what Brett Favre couldn’t…

  1. Angry’d hit that. But Miss New York will kick her to the curb.

    Also, check out Miss Alaska. You know, now that you kooks are using remote-state beauty pageants as your political minor league.

    “I can see Russia from my house!”

  7. maybe you just hung with an ugly crowd.

    Perhaps, but you need to hang out with better photoshoppers. Check out that “v”-shaped tan line around the collar bone.

    And Palin with a .22? Pshaw. Sarah shoots the big iron.

    Always with the New York this and New York that.

    Angryclown, like many New Yorkers, confuse quantity with quality. Bigger is better, etc.

  9. This blog has never “Endorsed” political candidates – because, like, who cares what I think?

    I care. But then again, my huge SITD paycheck (wink wink) depends on it.

  11. At least her platform issue isn’t abstinence. I read about contestants a few years back doing that, and thought “yeah, that’s what I think of when I see fifty gorgeous young women on stage wearing slinky evening gowns or bikinis….abstinence!”

    Or, rather, the vapidity there is one of many reasons I’ve not watched pageants like that in a few decades. Now if some of the young ladies had a talent like heavy metal guitar, nuclear physics, orthopedic surgery, or cowboy action shooting, now that might be worth watching.

  12. Palins gun appears to be a crossman air rifle not a .22.

    Yeah, it does, doesn’t it. Hmm.

  13. I’m a little surprised His Clowniness fell for that Photoshopped Palin image. That’s been bandied about Fark for well over a year now.

    Not that I expect the Clown to know what Fark even is.

  14. Simply a matter of having more hotties to choose from, Roosh. For example, check out Miss NoDak.

    Angryclown can only assume she has a really good personality.

  15. Angry’s just saying, based on the evidence of the Palin family, Alaska chicks are hot and slutty. A shame that Mastur never got in on any of that action.

  16. I’m a little surprised His Clowniness fell for that Photoshopped Palin image.
    Why? The doufus keeps quoting Tina Fey, fer gosh sakes.

  18. “Alaska chicks are hot and slutty. ”

    Not that hot, but I’m from Fairbanks. We all knew the best tail came from the Mat-Su Valley. Those valley girls knew how to party.

    I briefly dated Miss Teen Alaska, but she only looked good in low light and from the right angle.

  20. “Angry’s just saying, based on the evidence of the Palin family, Alaska chicks are hot and slutty.”

    Actually that’s not what AC is saying. He’s just copied and pasted a review from Blade on AC Jr.’s “performance art” on the streets of the Village.

  21. Now Swiftee, if it wasn’t for stereotypes and sweeping generalizations, clownie would have nothing at all to say.
    Don’t mock the kid in the short bus.
