• 496. She's a normal teenage girl give her a break. If you never drank and acted silly and stupid then your probably the lame one with the problems.

• 498. What a moron. She is a great representative for feminism and female empowerment. And I have some oceanfront property for sale in Iowa.

• 499. I think she should have known these pictures would get out and she did it on purpose for the publicity. Teenagers are much smarter then we give them credit for and she knows how to make money I'm sure!!

• 500. I dont think there is anything wrong with these pictures. She isn't really doing anything wrong. It's a shame people are trying to ruin her reputation over a little teenage drinking. Its not like anyone thought she hadn't partied before. I think she looks like a normal teenage girl, instead of some crazy, bitchy pageant queen, and i find that refreshing. Give the girl a break!!!!

• 501. Con't I can't tell you how sick I feel when I see a little girl on the street wearing a micro mini, cut off shirt with some sleazy saying (or written across their bottom!!) and all the accessory's!! I am only 41 yrs old, but without too much effort, I can totally see where our county is going, can't you all? When we were little, our Role Models were school teachers, parents, family members, war heroes, etc., etc. people that worked so hard for our country, to keep it safe, AND FREE for all of US! I am so embarrassed by what our country has already become, and is becoming more and more. In a sentence, it is Total Moral Degradation, and the only ones we have to blame, are ourselves….

• 502. I'm not sure why everyone is so up in arms over this type of behavior? As the days, months and years go by, more and more we see how the MAJORITY (not all) of our youth is being raised by a generation that has no moral integrity, and are as rude and crass as they are. These kids should not be held up as any type of role models even if you assume that being in a beauty pageant is worthy of a Role Model status. For the most part, these kids are going to keep letting us all down, because we are expecting too much from them, Their role models are people like Brittany Spears, and Bratz Dolls, AND WHY WOULD ANY PARENT EVER BUY THESE FOR THEIR DAUGHTER!!??? Con't

• 503. Ok, perhaps she should've at least taken her tiara off before taking some of these photos but honestly these pictures aren't really scandalous. Beer pong? do you know how many people in their 20's play beer pong? The pic of her on the phone in her bed with a beer..uh-oh... the sl*t! Give me a BREAK and give her one too! The only thing she definately couldve gone w/o is the oral sex sign.. either way the pics were taken with "friends" ( makes u wonder if they are because someone leaked them) and were meant to be kept amongst them.

• 504. She's a kid and she's gonna go out and party...Kids do that, you know. And to be honest, there's worse pictures out there...She's just having fun...Kids do that too...She'll grow up eventually...

• 505. You TMZ, I have some more pics of her, lets say in a more compromising situation. Let me know how much !?#@$

• 506. i believe that a woman who is suppose to be a positive role model to younger girls should not display this kind of behavior. In the media lately, you have queens displaying inapproiate behavior and getting away with it. Younger girls are looking at them saying "it is alright, they do it." miss north carolina rebecca revels was stripped of her title for indecent pictures and not allowed to compete for miss america. why should she have been punished, yet your state queens today and miss teen usa and miss usa are getting away with it?

• 507. This is the best Washington has? Yikes. She already looks like a porn star.

• 508. hey all of you dumbasses: Miss America represents *classy* young people - not trash. Yeah maybe we all did crazy stuff but she's representing a MEMBERSHIP just like most of represented a TEAM.

• 509. I think she has the same pics I have on my myspace and most other young crowds show, theres nothing wrong with it. My only advice, dont let your friends wear the crown or have you wear it around when doing any of the "negative" imagery that was created, some girls would have KILLED to have that crown. But she didnt do anything wrong, shes living a young girls fun life. Leave her alone!
