CellarDweller:
Shanna Moakler Resigns as Miss California Pageant Director
The day after Carrie Prejean was told she could keep her Miss California crown, Shanna Moakler has resigned, she confirms to Usmagazine.com exclusively.
"Since the press conference yesterday, I had a chance to think about what has taken place, and I feel that at this time it is in my best interest to resign from the Miss California USA organization," Moakler tells Us.
"I cannot with a clear conscious move forward supporting and promoting the Miss Universe Organization when I no longer believe in it, or the contracts I signed committing myself as a youth," she continues. "I want to be a role model for young woman with high hopes of pageantry, but now feel it more important to be a role model for my children. I am sorry and hope I have not let any young supporters down but wish them the best of luck in fulfilling their dreams."

Oh, God. ... :P Off topic and pedantic, I know, but did she really issue a written statement that used the phrase "a clear conscious"? If she doesn't know the difference between conscious and conscience, then not only does she need to resign her position with the pageant, she needs to go back to grammar school. Aaargh! :P

So, you're saying you never had an unclear conscious? Not even a little bit blurry?

The Donald's response was expected. I was rather appalled though unsurprised at his admission that he liked semi-nude photos of 17 year olds and what else he said was just as ridiculous, something about, "if she wasn't so beautiful no one would care..."
::)
But it's his show. It's his decision to make. And yes, I agree, the more publicity, the better he likes it.
I did like Miss Nevada, who was stripped of her crown for her racy pics, going on E! and stating that there was an obvious double-standard going on.
