After California pageant blasts NOM's Maggie Gallagher and Carrie Prejean, she keeps her Crown
By John Amato Tuesday May 12, 2009 8:10am
Part 1: Yesterday Keith Lewis, co-executive director of the Miss California USA pageant, was furious over NOM's use of Prejean, and attacked them throughout his presser. The pageant also helped pay for her new body. What would Jesus say?
He also said that she breached her contract by being involved with the special interest group. He already had to use the runner-up to fill some of her duties because she's being used as a pawn by the anti-gay lobby, but it's a choice she's quite happy with, I assume. I imagine they'll keep the money flowing to her.
Lewis said that 42% of NOM's fundraising cash made its way to Gallagher personally and that NOM exploited Prejean to put her contract at risk. Prejean also lied about the saucy pictures to them, but judging by her released statements, she is a perfect conservative.
"I am a Christian, and I am a model. Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos. Recently, photos taken of me as a teenager have been released surreptitiously to a tabloid website that openly mocks me for my Christian faith. "I am not perfect, and I will never claim to be. But these attacks on me and others who speak in defense of traditional marriage are intolerant and offensive. While we may not agree on every issue, we should show respect for others' opinions and not try to silence them through vicious and mean-spirited attacks."
You see, we're all trying to silence her. Typical conservative talking points. She'll fit right in at her new digs until they lose interest in her.
Part 2: Donald Trump says he got all of them in a room and worked it out and she keeps her crown. He put the hammer down it looks like. She was crying and saying nobody should be silenced, (ugh) and how her grandfather fought in WWII. She said she wasn't an activist only a person of beliefs. Working with NOM makes her an activist, doesn't it? She says she won't speak out against Gay Marriage anymore. I guess that was the trade off she made. She also says that some of the pictures were photo-shopped, but the one released today was the photographer releasing some that weren't made public. She forgives everybody including P. Hilton and the Donald said Hilton was just doing his thing even if he scored her very low.
Keith Lewis said he's putting it behind him. They just weren't all on the same page. One question was asked about her involvement with NOM and she said she's not working for them. A question was asked in the beginning about NOM, but that wasn't answered. David Shuster said it was a ridiculous presser with the Donald. I wrote Part 1 yesterday. Prejean being involved in NOM kinda caught my interest so that's why I made the video from the Lewis presser.

represented by a tall blonde with fake boobs. Honestly.
Watching people with equally ridiculous agendas attack each other is a fun diversion, though.
be a total of three fake boobs.
OMG....what a splendid remark! I did disagree with KO the other night when he thought is was 'unfair' or some such thing that her photo (barely there) was put on public display, supposedly 'not to her knowledge'...I think was his premise..(I do disagree with him on occasion)...
Give me a break....and we're made to think that someone would pose like that and NOT want it to be seen! (so don't have a picture taken stupid)...
So miss dip-shit wants to promote her ideas because 'it is is the Constitution' she should be allowed to 'do'(photos) say - be against Same-Sex Marriage (opinions) and yet she is pushing to make it sure Gays and Lesbians don't have the same "rights" (according to HER "Constitution")
She sounds like a blonde Sarah Palin.
Thank you, thank you Donald for doing the right thing. After all, what she did was answer a question honestly. Of course her answer is comparable to the sitting President of the United States, so, no foul no harm in my opinion. Of course I do expect the usual bash of name calling nonetheless. :)As for her IQ... please show the documentation, we have no idea of her IQ and are making assumptions based on questions and ideology.
Despite your persecution complex it seems you have recruited no bashing name-callers.
How about her own words and actions?
She broke several pageant rules. She lied to the pageant committee about her previous photography work and her affiliation with NOM was also against the rules concerning how the 'Miss America' position can be used for advocacy work.
How someone like Prejean makes it in this country is amazing. She:
(1) Had the pageant pay for implants (can we at least make sure she declares them as income on her tax return?);
(2) Allowed provocative pictures of herself to be taken in an effort to make a buck as a Victoria's Secret model;
(3) Lied to pageant officials concerning the pictures she took;
(4) Gave a patently stupid answer to a straightforward question;
(5) Hooked up with NOM; and
(6) Lied again to pageant officials about the circumstances under which the pictures were taken.
Now, somehow, she's the victim in all this, and people are trying to "silence" her. I guess her understanding of Christianity doesn't include principles like honesty or modesty.
She also is failing to do the job for which she was hired - i.e. her runner-up needs to stand in for her because she's too busy playing house with NOM.
She's the perfect storm of incompetence, shallowness, and whiny, self-centered victimhood.
If Christians know how to do anything... it's playing a martyr.
It's like breathing for them.
Pawn? Try willing spokesperson.
I may hate her politics, but I respect her right to practice them.
who cares what any pageant contestant thinks about anything?
They can't be very smart to begin with, if they put themselves on a stage to be judged like a piece of meat...pageants...fah!
Anita Bryant.
The untold damage that **** caused gay people still lingers. Maybe people are a little more wiser, or tolerant now, but I looked around and find it hard to believe. Especially with Billo Dumbass' resent comments.
doesn't change the fact that she's dumber'n a box o' hammers.
Yet Fox "news" has tons of people on camera and behind the camera spreading the hate.
Yes...yes they do....
And it appears they are losing IQ points by the second.
Their viewers are in a IQ deficit situation as we speak.
It's a shame really.
The correct phrase is "bag of hammers." You have mistaken her for a "box of rocks." And by the way, the
O' Hammers are a fine Irish family.
and the "fine Irish family" the O'Hammers owe me 20 bucks!
taters?
how about a nice sidedish of tater tits?
I did not know such wonderful things existed.
And ricky...I'd prefer me payment in some fine Irish whiskey.
next time I'm in her box.
Good one, ricky!
box v bag contradiction.
it matters not ricky...just mind the hammers!
No one silenced her. They gave her a choice, work with one group, or work with the other. I hate when people equate having a choice with oppression.
On the other hand, since she's keeping the crown, I guess she chose Trump over Jeebus. What a hypocrite.
all the while, she's putting her bossy little rhinoplastied proboscis where it has no business being, trying to silence the commitment and pledge of troth by one gay person for another.
She's a total moran. And a hater. And just another Hypocrite for Jesus.
a different point of view does not make one a moron or a bigot.
Just because she believes some people are entitled to more rights than others doesn't make her a bigot, right Strom... er, John?
Denying ones rights is not a point of view. It stands against everything this country stands for and is flat out bigotry. I'll give her a chance on the "moron" part. She has two weeks to say something intelligent. I'm not holding my breath.
However, when you support having the govt legislate your view to deprive fellow citizens of equal treatment under the law, you're a bigot. She's also a moron for other reasons.
... wants it both ways.
When she answered Perez Hilton's question, she was all too happy to spew her Christian beliefs about how, 'in my country' (there's a different one, with an alternate California, or where gays get the full legal benefits of marriage?) marriage was blah-diddy-blah-blah.
Then she opined being honest might have cost her the Miss USA crown.
Then she told James Dobson that she felt Satan 'tempting her' with the question. Which means the pageant is an opportunity for Satan? One of the judges was Satan (probably Hilton)? Donald Trump is Satan?
And where was this Christian purity when you dropped your top for photos? Oh, that's right - you're not perfect, you're just forgiven. It's not YOUR fault. It's the media's fault. It's Hilton's fault. It's that slimy photog who released the photos to Dirty/TMZ.
They're trying to silence poor little Carrie.
Sounds like every other miserable Whiner for Christ.
I suspect it's only a matter of time before the fully nude photo gets leaked.
More released
now I understand.
If I had boobies like that, I'd get a boob job too.
No wonder she didn't want them released.
Hey, don't blame me for being shallow. As far as I'm concerned, there's already one too many comments on this thread to begin with.
The observation was made by most long ago and all agree they are past the blaming phase.
Me, I always prefer "before" to "after" in the subject matter at hand.
Carrie talks about 'a tabloid website that openly mocks me for my Christian faith'. Give me a break!
No, Miss Bimbobrains California, you are being mocked because you're a lying, hypocritical, homophobic phony.
Who cares what the hell this bleach blonde bimbo has to say. She's not the sharpest knife in the drawer anyway.
Why the bigoted "what would Jesus say?" remark? Why do you have to resort to the same bigotry that you accuse others of?
To have to register onto the site just to post YOUR bigotry.
Another hit and runner, folks.
And just WHAT would jebus say about you?
It's called pointing out hypocrisy. Bigoted? Please. She poses for nude/semi nude photos then turns around and wants to talk about "morality". "Christians" who want to throw stones at others should probably first check to make sure their own houses are in order.
Bulge so she could have the freedom to get breast implants and scoot to Las Vegas to party with Michael Phelps (wonder if he has any pics?) and then become a beauty contestant who repeatedly lies? She isn't in favor of gay marriage because God got in her head and heart and told her to defend traditional marriage, and the lecherous adulterer who owns the pageant thinks her breasts look good. And CNN runs the entire presser but won't cover important issues...
... we should have given KSM breast implants?
/snark
a chest wax might have been more tasteful.
about that persecution complex?
holy crap.
Christians hate it when non-Christians take them to task. All they can do is lash out at that point.
It's only going to get worse for Miss Homophobe of California. They have a bunch more photos of her just released today when she wasn't 17, more like 20. These ones have bare breast. She keeps lying to these people and they will strip her of everything. The Donald doesn't like being made a fool of. This girl has know right talking anything about values.
HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa. Jeez. Any time I think my life is totally pointless, I absolutely must remember this nitwit.
So she keeps her crown. Probably for the best. If she'd been stripped of it then she'd had been guaranteed a spot on Fox or wherever as the next Joe the Plumber. Let her go on to lose Miss America or Miss USA or Miss Whatever and she'll be forgotten about.
which was the platform that catapulted her into the national spotlight.
And aren't these pageants just a recruiting tool for the next Mrs. Trump anyway?
Any reason for Trump to sit in front of a camera is a good reason.
we should show respect for others' opinions
but not for others' lives
And adding a gratuitous photo-op from Donald Squirrel Top just stacks the deck. I can't believe that this dumb homophobe bitch considers herself a victim.
Oh gawd, Christian Rock is well past passe, so now we have to endure an era of "Christian Models"?
Imagine the photo-op: breathlessly regaining conciousness as the anesthesia wears off in the recovery room, the coyly bandaged, fresh-faced young ingenue weeps from the revelation of having been miraculously born again...
and the hymen's almost as good as new.
"Carrie Me Back to Old Virginity".
And that makes me think of another gem...
American Pie...
And I said bye bye, cause her p*ssy was dry.
Them good ol' boys were sellin tubes of KY
Singin, this is the brand you should buy....
this is the brand you buuuuuy....
You're in fine form today!
Me and some friends of mine would get inebriated, and sing that at the top of our lungs...we used to have the whole song worked out with those fancy lyrics...but as will happen whilst being creative AND hammered...one tends to not write things down.
that you and your friends are a riot to party with!
fun to be around, and my friends too.
If ya ever make it to the keys, you could witness it firsthand...but I would stand back a couple of yards though...as the beer tends to slosh about after a few rounds.
I'm glad I checked back here. Fun thread!
Oh goody - masticated cashews on my keyboard....
heheh
when attempting to masticate and cogitate simultaneously.
As she looks to the heavens, a golden glow envelops her and her new 38Ds..
.... since A Chorus Line.
...is that bloggers would utilize the standard journalistic tool of spelling out the name of an organization the first time it's used, and only THEN start using the acronym. In other words.... what the fuck is NOM?
Rhetorical question...I already had to go google it to find out. Shouldn't be necessary to do that, kids. And also, how's about using full names the first time that person is mentioned? (Gripe from another article I was reading elsewhere today...)
I've read plenty of MSM articles that about 2/3 way through will mention for the first time the last name of someone with no mention of what the heck they have to do with the story. I guess post-editing proof-readers are getting hard to find.
Acronyms are the bane of my existence, especially when people speak in acronyms (you couldn't spare the time to say a couple extra words???). I agree that at minimum, if you're going to use them at least explain what they are first so I don't sit there saying WTF???
That's odd Prejean doesn't sound German. Must be her granfather on her mothers side I guess.
BTW, Mutton Jeff, WWII stands for World War Two ;)
I'm really sick of this story. Donald Trump makes it even worse. We'll see how effective a shill she is, but she hurt herself there. Oh, those poor persecuted bigots.
Not surprised the Donald let her keep her crown, what with all the free publicity she is generating for the Miss Universe Organization (NOM isn't the only one exploiting her). But I'm not sure why she really cares. She's lost the Miss USA title so there really isn't anything more in it for her. Actually being stripped of the title would only give her more opportunity to play the martyr. Unless they pointed out to her all the ways that she has breached her contract (nude photos, outside activisim, lying, etc.) and threatened to sue her out of existence if she didn't start toeing the line.
was stripped (no pun intended) of her crown for posing nude.
Guess it's different when you're black.
that would be "Vanessa" Williams.
real.
that's about how much I pay attention to this pageant nonsense.
It's like a 4H contest. Breed the perfect cattle.
Moooo-o-o.
A good friend of mine was Miss Polled Hereford back a few years.
hereford or thereford.
Everywhere a ford-ford, Old mick Donald had a farm...
joke myself.
hot girl-on girl-action, different from a coy lingerie ad.
Also, Ms Williams was fired from Miss America, a totally different entity.
But really, if you are going to lay down rules, Donald Trump, either abide by them, or don't have them.
Speaking of seeing things with new eyes, I vividly remember that scandal.
I guess those were the good old days. I didn't figure on living through the bad side of the sexual un-revolution. It's a sad day when the Miss Universe pageant turns one off to young women.
funny story. True too.
I had heard on my local news that R Gates had asked Gen McKeirnan to resign as the head of US/NATO forces, and would be asking Gen McChrystal to take his place. SO after being unable to find anything on the internets, I manually punch in 47 on my remote for MSNBC (All 'news' stations are removed from my remote). Of course with breaking news like a change in command in Afghanistan they were on it. For 2 minutes, or less, anyway. They broke away from THAT to bring you the entire Shana 'Fisticuffs' Moakler and this guy bitching this beauty queen bimbo and NOM.
Which is WHY all news stations are removed from my remote.
They faled to mention McChrystals involvement in trying to cover up what really happened to Pat Tillman?
Nah. They never even got around to it. Just talked about him having 'new eyes.' I guess that was wrong too.
I want to hear more about the McKiernan story too. It's big news and, as usual, none of the media is covering it.
I get all of my news from cable teevee. What is this Afghanistan you speak of?
Will someone please get her on Fox Noise? I'm sick of her. blech.
...should release the slobbering cry fest of Prejean as a fine you tuber. You know he recorded the meeting.
Two more augmentations and she'll win Miss World.
Time to re-write the rules so in the end there are no rules. But who the fuck cares? It's a fucking pageant. See: "the Iraq".
the pageants need to have an honest skills competition.
competition! Which is important to them since shepherding is a way of life for them. They also have a competition where they show off their Navajo language skills by answering cultural questions in the language. :)
Since Miss Bigot agreed to stop speaking out against gay marriage does that mean she chose being Miss California over Jeebus? What about her wanting to stay biblical????
...why didn't she become a missionary or go off to do some charitable work for poor women and children in a third world country, or even help out in impoverished places in the US? Why does anyone care what someone thinks when that person is a bleached blonde who gets a pageant agency to pay for her fake breasts? I think she'll be offered money to pose nude somewhere, and it won't go against her traditional Christian values so of course she'll do it. Then maybe one of the traditional Christian men "reading" the publication will appreciate that her breasts are suitable for feeding children and propose marriage; and of course, being good, traditional family values Christians they'll abstain until their wedding night.
You don't win a pageant without having done some missionary work.
'nuff said.
missionary work, are you talking about a position? If so she'd probably win if she was just on her knees or all on all four.
oops, I didn't even realize the double entendre in my post.
I'm sure that being a good Christian woman she partied with Michael Phelps in Las Vegas and took bong hits for Jeebus.
Ix-nay on the ong-tokes-bay. There are some things you are not free to say, right Antonin?
Thrilling isn't it?
...EVER have to hear this nimrod's name again, it'll be too soon.
She's a hunter or in slang "a geek"?
"simpleton" is more fitting.
...surely Miss California losing her crown would be the greatest ever.
Poor little mindless airhead. She's being exploited by dastardly groups because she's just too stupid to understand her contract. Now, all of my sympathy has to be directed away from the rest of the world and focused directly on the tragic Ms. Prejean. This is worse than the 1918 flu pandemic and the Black Death combined.
Any poor man should be able to pierce the veil and see through this idiots game.
nothing but barbie doll dress up. Where's the good stuff?
Turn your safe search off. By the way, you reminded me of what someone from the Village Voice said on Olbermann at the beginning of this slow-motion train wreck. He said something about her being a real life Klaus Barbie doll. Of course then the right wing could put Nazi comparisons in their tragic "vicious left-wing attacks" articles.
Oh, and the ADL asked once again for people to stop making jokes about the holocaust, but they've always been wet blankets.
I think that by far, the most annoying part of this very annoying story is when christianists bring up the point that Obama's campaign position is similar to Miss California's regarding same-sex marriage. It's usually brought up to provide validity, from the same people who insist you can't trust a thing BHO says because he's a muslim, radical, socialist, black nationalist, liberation theologist marxist.
The annoying part is that Obama is either as misguided as Miss California or too chickenshit to take on such formidable opponents.
He's way too smart to get a boob job.
of succeeding Boosh?
I think I actually heard a rim-shot after reading that. Don't forget to tip your servers...
but after she got up off of the floor
she beat the crap outta me!
alley-oop pass. Unintentionally, too.
"She said she wasn't an activist only a person of beliefs.."
Yet more Conservative political correctness.
Conservative activist = "person of beliefs".
"Activists" fight against oppression.
"Person of beliefs" - cause oppression.
In Canada they tried to make it so certain medical professionals should not have to give out birth control pills to those whom they deem "should not recieve them on their religions grounds."
So we said "Find a new job then, cause your JOB is doing this."
It doesn't work. You can't say "my beliefs allow me to be a bigot and I am going to use my position and authority in this community to pander out my bigotry."
In short, Ms boobinator should shut up and go home.
trump decides to let her retain her title...
this comes from a man who likes to sniff and kiss
the neck of a drag queen wannabe. when are these
latent assholes going to stop their hypocracy?
About this thing, I just don't care. What's this? Gossip hour? I have so much crap to deal with that I believe it's demeaning and stupid for this site to get into this garbage. Screw, Ms California, screw Perez Hilton, screw Trump and screw this thread.
then somehow I doubt that my father fought in Korea and Vietnam so that I would not have the same full marriage rights she has.
And while we're at it, somehow I doubt that the brave Dan Choi served in Iraq just so he could be kicked out of the military.
But then, per this bitch's original comments, the GLBT community is not part of America.
Feel so good to be Me today!I may be fat and 48 but at least I'm not her!This has been Sooo good for my self esteem!
Was she an A-cup before surgery? Her brains and bra size are both small.
I'm waiting for Media Matters to publish the amount of airtime cable news has devoted to this. Unfortunatley this is what the sensationalist clowns produce with two wars, a recession, a health care debate, and a host of other issues happening. Thanks Fox, CNN, and MSNBC for contributing to the shrinking of America's collective IQ.
.
So I can become Miss California, enter into an agreement to abide by the rules AND break them?
WOW...
... Such high principles and morals.
Dear Carrie Prejean,
Your title has nothing to do with WWII or your grandfather or free speech. When you signed the dotted line, it became about a commitment to abide by the rules. No less!!!
.
I believe you were trying to say moron... your version is humorous however on so many levels.
can't fool you.
Your so clever. Misspelling the word on purpose. How cool.
My God, she's just like Palin. "Waaaah! It's so unfair! The mean, mean media ATTACKED me!! (snuffle) IT'S NO FAIR! Waaaah!"
Is it absolutely necessary for every single wingnut out there to act like they are 5 years old? Must they all be victims? The amount of whining these people do could power Poughkeepsie for a year.
Shouldn't her title be Miss Conservative? She doesn't represent all of California. Maybe the blonde hair and big tits, but Cali is liberal and not anti-gay. Maybe she should represent say Kansas or Texas next time. Stay the hell outta California Prejean!!
