Former Miss America Venus Ramey is taking on the U.S. government over
its tobacco policy.
Acting as her own lawyer and seeking $300 billion in damages, Ramey filed
a federal lawsuit last Friday against the U.S. Justice Department.
Ramey, who was Miss America 1944, is now 74 and living on a farm north of
Eubank. She wants to save the tobacco industry from possible extinction and
get farmers back on their feet. . . Ramey, who represented the District of
olumbia in the Miss America pageant, said her family has grown tobacco for
350 years and she has been a tobacco farmer for 50 years. . . The lawsuit
accuses the government and President Clinton of trying "to destroy a
successful, lucrative American industry.''

Venus Ramey, Miss America 1944, called Williams a "slut."
I guess her definition of a "slut" is a women who gets COMPLETELY naked for photographs...as opposed to someone who just dresses skimpily:
