Beauty queen overplaying her victim card

I’m glad Carrie Prejean gets to keep her Miss California title, since it seems to be important to her. I’ve written before that the Perez Hilton character was well out of line and over the top in his criticism of the beauty queen.

But please. Let’s not pretend that racy photos of Prejean now emerging constitute some kind of political attack or vengeance for her comments about gay marriage.

There’s nothing exceptional about what’s happened; in fact, it’s an unwritten rule: When an attractive young woman becomes famous, any nude or racy photos in her past become public. It’s not nice, it’s not right.

But it’s also not about politics, and in this case Prejean is the victim only of her own poor judgment.

And this is the last word I will post on this subject, I promise.

She expresssed her opinion when asked a direct question to do so and was slammed because the gays and the left didn’t like her answer. So they went after her to find anything they could. What did she do that was wrong?

It’s not the content of her answer. It’s the stupid way she spoke. “In my country” – That’s America, stupid. Our country too.
she’s glad people have a choise? Really? In four or five state? Some choice!
and what the heck is “Opposite Marriage”? Her answer was just stupid. that’s why she lost – not her political views, which she can’t seem to support in logical, appropriate words.

Still, you have to like the Trump “She said the same thing the president and secretary of state did” comment. He may be a tacky egomaniac with a bad comb-over, but he hits some zingers sometimes.

The amusing part to me is that a question that asks for an opinion has a wrong answer? The left has now become the political equivalent of the right in the 50’s. “Are you now or have you ever been a member of the _________?” Fill in the blank to determine where the barometer stands in the press.

Well, I think this Ms. California said the Right and Godly thing. We need good Conservative women like her to hold up to our kids and say this is what you ought to be like.

Trouble is, I can’t find any of these buck-nekkid pictures they took of her and Bookman won’t help at all. Not that I want to see nekkid pictures. It’s just that I’m curious like everybody else. Somebody said she had a little tattoo of a bird on her shoulder. Well, the missus done that when she was young and now it looks like a big buzzard. People forget that skin stretches over the years.

Anyhow, I’m awful glad Trump let her keep her crown. She might not be a Norman Einstein but leastwise she preaches Fambly Values. Something we don’t get much of these days, what with the gays marrying everywhere and all the filthy movies out there.

I used to have a gay acquaintance in graduate school. Generally, this fellow was a nice enough individual in class except that outside of class he would try to hit on me and my straight friends – constantly. It presented a very awkward situation particularly during class. Then his ocotogenarian-type guy pals would try to hit on me. You see, because I was friendly they interpreted that as “gay” or at a minimum, “conflicted.” It got tiresome, REALLY tiresome, to the extent that I wouldn’t deal with him anymore.

Then he started calling me a “homophobe” when I’d see him in class or on campus and my views about innocent gays changed.

BTW – the contestants showed more in their contestant bikinis than she did in the photos.

Yes, I can see your dilemma. One person’s action DOES represent millions of people. I guess I should base my judgment of all straight people on the bigotry of some of the people who post on here, or whom I encounter almost everyday?

I would suggest you get out of your cloistered corner a little bit more. I bet you’ve run into some “the gays” and were never aware of it, because they may not have squared to your stereotypes. Or they just didn’t hold as high of an opinion of you as you seem to do.

“I think different people for different reasons could do the job, but the key is they have to get the right people to negotiate. We have a bunch of third rate people doing our negotiating for us. We have diplomats nobody ever heard of and they’re not negotiators.”

He goes on to say:

“Give me a break. You think she’s a negotiator? She’s a wonderful woman, a lovely woman. I tell the story, she waves. She waves hello. They talk, she leaves, she waves, the plane takes off. Nothing happens, it’s a joke, nothing ever happens. Has she made one deal? What has she done? Has she done one thing since she’s been in that position? Not one. So it’s very, very sad. The whole thing with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is very sad.”

I admire the student’s use of the word “acquaintance”. The term friend is over used, and may eventually be deprived of all meaning by facebook and myspace.

Just like during the campaign? I’m so glad the Left is all about fairness.

I’m trying to recall, though, if any gay organizations issued statements saying they disagreed with candidate Obama’s position but respected his right to it, same as they did with Ms Prejean.

//sarcsarcsarc//

Just now checked to see if, in fact, any gay groups had done so. First thing I found was a Huffington article about how Obama was for gay marriage before he became presidential candidate Obama, when he became against it.

But HE still won the pageant!

What if gay women got off looking at those pictures!? She was encouraging sin by having the photos taken.

Who cares what ANY of those young women think about anything? It is interesting to hear if they can string some coherent sentences together, much less have their own thoughts. Sarah Palin here we come!

You don’t have suggestive pictures taken because you “don’t know any better.” Gee whiz.

When the police carry out “fishing expeditions” against citizens, any evidence they find is declared inadmissible in court. This is designed to dissuade them from harassing the public. The publication of these photos appears to be the result of a fishing expedition.

The political dimension to this affair is beyond dispute.
