Muslim Miss USA Arrested for DUI

Muslim Miss USA Arrested for DUIAnd now, the final piece of evidence that first Muslim Miss USA* Rima Fakih is as American as the rest of them: Last night, the former Miss Michigan was arrested for driving drunk in Detroit enclave Highland Park. Just a good old-fashioned drunk-driving stripper. [NYDN, image via Getty]

* Upon winning the Miss USA title in 2010, Rima Fakih technically may have been the second Muslim Miss USA (but first Arab-American Miss USA) although nobody quite figured out the other lady's deal. (Possibly Lebanese Christian?) Also, the other lady won in 1983, before Real America knew it was supposed to hate Muslims, back when Donald Trump was merely another tacky nepotist, as opposed to the smug, pageant-hocking demagogue he is today.
