Miss USA, A Stripper?

Recently crowned Miss USA, Rima Fakih tells Fox News the story behind the pictures of her on a stripper pole. Fakih says, "It wasn't pole dancing, it was more of a promotional event."
If that was her response during the pagent, I doubt she would have won. How can a person who responds with those words be a role model to girls and women across the nation?
Fakih also explains, "Have you ever done those pole dancing classes?" "That's what it was. My friend who was a DJ at the station said 'Why don't you get up there?'"
Rima Fakih is planning on running for Miss Universe but with comments like this do you think she will succeed with winning the title?
