Who knew Hot Clicks was so big in Iowa? I can't remember the last time something generated as many e-mails as
yesterday's lead item about Nationals pitcher
Miguel Batista saying fans who expected to see
Stephen Strasburg but got him instead was akin going to if you go to see "Miss Universe, then you end up having Miss Iowa." Well, that opened the floodgates from people who wanted to defend Iowa's honor. I had people e-mailing
this link to Miss Iowa 2008,
this link and
this link to Miss Iowa 2009 and
this link and
this link to Miss Iowa 2010, Katherine Connors. In fact, Connors even weighed in on this controversial issue, saying "I know I can throw a pitch or two! The question is, can Miguel Batista walk the runway in a swimsuit?" But perhaps the most amusing e-mail on this subject came from
Chris, of Des Moines, Iowa, who said, "
Carol Morris won the Miss Universe pageant as Miss Iowa USA in 1956. And I dare say she was quite fetching back in her day."
