Carrie Prejean

I told you so.

Carrie Prejean vs Perez Hilton vs Principles

OK, yes. Carrie Prejean stuck to her principles. That alone is admirable. In a time of contentiousness and political correctness what she said was brave.

Or was it?

I understand that the conservatives are rallying, somewhat, around Carrie. She took a decidedly conservative view, and she's now defending herself against professional douchebag Prerez Hilton and a slew of liberal hollywood wackos.

For their part, Hollyweird is rallying around the gay marriage issue more than they are Perez himself. Still, I find it interesting that on the one hand the hollyweird crowd hates the paparazzi, critics, and bloggers, yet are all hugs and kisses when it's convenient.

For her part, Carrie has done well for herself. She doesn't seem to be the typical beauty bimbo. Vacant and void of any real talent or intellect. She's well spoken.

But, as much as I'd like to hop on the Prejean party train we're still talking about a woman who spent a lot of time preparing herself to compete in . . . a beauty contest! Again, of what real relevance is Miss America? The last several years have exposed many of these women to be nothing more than the typical attention whore looking for a quick path to fame. Carrie, clearly, has fake boobs. Unless someone knows of a medical condition she has that warranted them, I have no reason but to believe she got them to enhance the way she looked in a bikini . . . for the beauty contest.

See where I'm going?

Quick . . . who won the Miss America Pageant? I don't know, either.

What that idiot Perez did, was put miss Prejean on more headlines, in more conversations, and on more blogs than the actual winner of the pageant. Well played, Carrie. Well played.

Now, maybe she's the nicest person in the world and will use this opportunity in a positive vein. And if she does, I'll be the first in line to have my book autographed.

Until then, I can't help but be cynical.

Miss America

First, you know you're in trouble when a douchebag like Perez Hilton is a judge. More than that, though, isn't Perez unqualified to be a judge at a woman's beauty contest?

Whatever, it would seem Carrie Prejean lost her chance to become the next Miss America after sharing her honest opinion about gay marriage in a question from Perez Hilton. I don't have the exact quote, but the Miss America wannabe essentially answered that she didn't believe in gay marriage. Though one of the finalist, she lost. It's speculated she may have won had it not been for her answer. Hilton said afterward:

“She gave the worst answer in pageant history. She lost because she’s a dumb b—-, okay?”

A couple of thoughts.

First, I highly doubt douchebag Hiton has followed every pageant to know that Carrie gave the worst answer in history. No, it's simply that she gave an answer he didn't like. I thought the reasoning behind the questions was simply to see the contestant think on their feet. To come up with a quick response and word it intelligently. It goes toward poise. Hilton came out (pun intended) and admitted bias.

Another example of the more accepting, broader minded left.

Second, all that said . . . is the Miss America pageant relevant anymore? I mean, it's become a joke, and Perez Hilton being a judge is evidence of that. I respect Carrie for sticking to her principles but . . . come on, she's strutting around with her fake boobs, trying to look all pretty and perfect. Bleech! I have a low opinion of anyone participating in these pageants to begin with.

And now, it's become tabloid fodder.
