Beauty Pageant Scandal!

Well, I suppose the evidentiary photographs are sorely lacking the same lurid appeal of the Vanessa Williams dustup, but the sick humor quotient is decidedly higher.

CNN: Ms Wheelchair stripped of title for standing up

Ms. Wheelchair Wisconsin has been stripped of her title because pageant officials say she can stand -- and point to a newspaper picture as proof. Janeal Lee, who has muscular dystrophy and uses a scooter, was snapped by The Post-Crescent newspaper standing among her high school math students.

"I've been made to feel as if I can't represent the disabled citizens of Wisconsin because I'm not disabled enough," Lee said Thursday.

It's a shame, too, as she was really rolling toward the national title. Her family still holds out hope of bringing home the tiara, though, since (no kidding) her sister was just named Ms. Wheelchair Minnesota. Good to know something runs in that family.
