The fall of empire… or just a fall?

Mexico – Miss USA Rachel Smith’s strut down the catwalk to model her evening gown during the Miss Universe pageant didn’t quite go as planned.

Smith slipped and fell on her rear during Monday night’s Miss Universe pageant in Mexico City.

She was also seemingly booed during her interview by Hispanic audience members who were chanting “Mexico! Mexico!” until she spoke in Spanish, the Associated Press reports.

Judge for yourself if she “spoke in Spanish”:

At the Miss Universe competition, Miss USA fell on her ass… quite literally. As you can see on the youtube video ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=zySMQ0xQGr4)

Miss USA’s selection as a semi-finalist was greeted about the same as every other selection. Whether she was being boo-ed for her fall, or for her mangling of the Spanish language… or even if she IS being booed… doesn’t matter much to our right-wingers.

Mention Mexico and the issue is immigration, reconquista and whines that “they hate us”. Batshit crazy anchor-baby Michelle Malkin demands action:

Will President Bush speak out against the treatment Miss USA received in Mexico? Will any amnesty peddler in Washington? Imagine if Miss Mexico were booed, heckled and subjected to chants of “USA, USA” if the pageant had been held here.

Oh yeah, by the way, Miss Japan won.
