I don’t know.. Methinks the lady doth protest too much. Yes, she’ll probably lose her crown, but she didn’t win the big prize so big deal. If these photos hadn’t popped up, nobody would even remember her name in a month or two. She’s milking these photos for all they’re worth. The best way to have Ms. Prejean go away isn’t to rant and carry on about her views and her hypocracy. It’s to just ignore her.

Man, I’ve really enjoyed some of these posts! Myke, you had me howling!

Like most of you, I’d say I reserve the right to call this wench out on the conflict between her words and her actions. Let’s compare Carrie Prejean and Donny Osmond. Donny Osmond is opposed to marriage equality, but he also doesn’t engage in behavior at odds with his faith. Carrie Prejean makes a mockery of traditional values because she acts like it’s OK do pick and choose, then run back to hide behind the pretext of “traditional values.” She’s a fraud living down to an increasing number of white trash sereotypes, and I have no qualms taking the opportunity to call her out for it. She wants to come out and say those pix showed bad judgement? I wouldn’t have anything negative to say about it because her actions would be in accord with her stated faith. Meanwhile, if she keeps acting like a stripper from the trailer park, she has no right to expect to be treated like a Sunday-school teacher.

Like most here, I could give a hoot about hers, or anyone else’s naked picture. Nor am I really interested in her personal opinion on gay marriage, a bigot is a bigot is a bigot and most likely based on ignorance and the intolerance and lies she has been fed in the name of “religion”… She’ll probably will lose her crown and rightly so, she broke the rules, but in this day and age the pictures probably would have come out anyway. Everyone else’s do…Ask Michael Phelps.

What I am enjoying in her 15 minutes of infamy is her experiencing EXACTLY what it feels like to be prejudices against. Perhaps for the first time in her pretty, blonde, busty, picture perfect, Orange County “slightly better than thou existence, the shoe is on the other foot and she can experience what we as a community go through every day: Personal attacks, discrimination, insults shouted from passing cars, your life and loves and all you care about belittled and dragged through the mud for the entertainment of others who know you not at all. NOW her bible may come into good use. Perhaps she without sin can still cast the first stone… or she can learn to turn the other cheek.

Welcome to our lives Carrie, isn’t it a blast?

“Anyone else getting bent out of shape is beyond me.”
****
I have to disagree. Marriage equality is a very important issue to many gay couples and families. Not that long ago, interracial marriage was a huge issue in this country.
Let’s assume some fool in 1964 had asked a Miss USA contestant about her thoughts on interracial marriage. So… the contestant responds politely and says “that she has always been taught that interracial marriage was against God’s plan. The reason God separated the continents by the seas was to keep the races separate and pure.” A few days later, She appears on television ads and news shows with George Wallace, another born again Christian, and politely speaks out (as a good Christian) against integration and interracial marriage. Would there have been outrage? Of course.
Now… how long do you think she would have kept her crown? Would anyone be bent out of shape? Of course… and justifiably so.

She makes a fool of herself – she’s no one’s victim – just reaping that which she has sown.

I hope California repo’s her rack. They paid for it. Just a question here. Is it okay for a Preist to have penis enlargement?
She is howling mad that those pictures came out but I’ll betcha she ran to the bank to cash the check. She was also only 17 and I think that is an issue. Her parents raised her properly? Isn’t that her claim as to her beliefs? Did they drive her to the photographer and watch her writhe around in her lace panties? I know they watched her prance around in a bikini with her rubber t*ts bouncing around. What a hysterically funny thing this is.
It’s too bad. She’s a very pretty girl and would probably have made it as a model. You know where all the gay hairdressers, make-up artists, photographers, and fashion designers work. What is she going to do now? Model Nun gear? Show me a picture of her with a pie in her face. You know it’s coming. I wish I could throw it.

“I’m still unsure why Madonna is famous.” What? What? What? Are you serious? That is more insulting than what Miss California said! That makes me think of more terrible things about you than Perez said about Miss Cali!! OMG!!

She has lied about alot of stuff. Her sister is not a gay activist, the pageant didn’t ask her to apologize, they didn’t ask her to not talk about her religion, and she lied when she signed her agreement stating she hadn’t posed nude or nearly nude.

She has violated her contract by making personal appearances, giving interviews or making commercials without permission from pageant officials.

And she is hiding behind her cloak of self-righteousness and her self-serving “biblical values” and you think she is a victim?

She brought all this on herself. The gossip is only going to get worse as more of her pictures surface and she is likely going to be disqualified as Ms Calif.

Her 15 minutes, actually now about 30 minutes should be up she will give up her crown, go on her crusade, and because she can speak so well she will probably get a job working for FOX news!!! We have helped make her a STAR!!! More than she ever would have had if she would have won the silly pageant!!!

Thanks for your Blog James about Miss Calfornia, I normally like what you write and I enjoy the style in which you write. But this time I think you are wrong, Miss Calfornia should be held accountable for her racey pictures. As you said with the two Wrestlers and their picrtures being no big deal, They did not sign a contract stating they never have or never would have racey pictures taken. Miss Calfornia signed a contract stating she has never had pictures of this natual taken of her ***BIG DIFFERENCE***. She can believe what she wants, but she was still expected to tell the truth about her so called modeling pictures. Thanks peace out and have a gay day.
