"Until I saw her standing there..."

CNN and the AP are reporting Miss Wheelchair Wisconsin has been stripped of her title. Apparently she can stand. yep. She's not disabled enough. Where's Tonya Harding when need her?
Janeal Lee, who has muscular dystrophy and uses a scooter, was snapped by The Post-Crescent newspaper standing among her high school math students.
James Taranto in WSJ's Best of the Web Today: "You can't expect a group representing the wheelchair-bound to stand for this sort of thing."

So congratulations (I guess) go to Michelle Kearney of Milwaukee, the new Miss Wheelchair Wisconsin, for being disabled enough to accept the title. Good luck in New York!
