Yet, I cannot simply approve a candidate without knowing some things first, especially with something as important as
The following is the transcript from that hearing. Some spelling has not been corrected to maintain the accuracy of what was stated.

Adam: what do you think you will gain from it?
PCMC: i feel it would be a good experience in itself to spend time wiht people i wouldnt normallsy spend time with.. and to be recognized a lil more

PCMC: and based off that
PCMC: i wouldnt get on...
PCMC: so just kinda want it
Adam: say if you agree or disagree with this statement then say why: Prom court is a superficial popularity contest that actually doesn't mean anything at all but used by the popular to make the equally as worthy but less accepted feel less accepted more.
PCMC: dont completely agree
PCMC: some truth behind it tho.. i do believe people vote by who they think should be on it.. whether they know them or not
PCMC: like homecoming i voterd JP on court i didnt really know him
PCMC: but like i feel the crowd all voted the same
PCMC: well some

PCMC: i dont have sex
PCMC: i focus on school
PCMC: i dont let everything material takeover... idunno i have life goals

Adam: you say that you don't focus on material and yet you seem to really want to be on prom court, explain this
P: i want tobe on prom court, to be better recognized.. and have a special memory, and maybe be a role model to like people not that popular such as myself
Adam: I think the fact that you drink would have been the best qualifying criteria for appointing you to the supreme prom court but you say it was only four times and only with family(still illegal in most cases)
PCMC: u want me 2 drink
PCMC: ...
Adam: let the record show that 2 min. Elapsed with out a response from the candidate

The candidate then signed off just when I was about to ask for her closing statements.
Personally I feel she did poorly.
Fair, Balanced and Second

That was AMAZING! Adam, I truly admire your journalism skills, that was awesome. You somehow managed to ask the rights questions at the right times that made her change her stories constantly. There were so many contradictions in that, I still dont know where she stands. She went from saying that she has honestly never drank underage, to saying ok, 4 times. You are right, in any circumstance, if you are not 21 and you drink alcohol, its underage drinking and illegal. You absolutely stuck it to her, and I gather from this that she is a junior, and looking at who that could possibly be that you talked to, I must say it doesnt surprise me the things she said. Nice wording by the way. and I liked your witty "I'll ask the questions here", that was classic. I give the interview two scores. 5 star for the interviewer. No, sorry, I lied, one score only, the interviewee doesnt even deserve a score...
All in all, great post.
disregard that part about the drunk thing, I misread, she came clean in the beginning of that section
much thanks
hilarious! ripping good laugh sir.
