It’s OK to pick on Carrie Prejean

Rate: 9 Flag

Recently Carrie Prejean, the disgraced former Miss California has been making the rounds of the interview shows, whining about her treatment at the hands to the media and the public. To this I say, “Tough (artificially enhanced) titties. You asked for it, cupcake.”

In case you have been living in a cave, Carrie Prejean, up for the Miss USA title, during the question and answer portion of the pageant was asked about gay marriage. Her answer was barely coherent but she was definitely con on the matter because she is a Christian, don’t cha know. Since then, she has not shut up on the matter, traveling around to speak out against equal rights for gays to just about anyone who will listen (and pay), citing her Christianity as the foundation for her philosophy.

Turns out the feet that Carrie crams into those designer pumps every morning are made of clay. Carrie, who loves to flaunt her Christianity, has not exactly led the life that Jesus would approve of. She had a boob job for the pageant, and her entire career is based on objectifying herself for money and prizes. She’s done a topless photo shoot and she send a  “sext” of herself to a boyfriend.

Oh, but this is all a vast left-wing conspiracy to discredit her and her beliefs! The nasty gays are using her personal life to discredit her political beliefs! She has even goes so far to assert the only conservative women get this kind of treatment. (Obviously this chick has never heard of Hillary Clinton or Nancy Pelosi)

Here’s the problem with Carrie, America loves to beat up on hypocrites, and it’s obvious that she is squarely in that category. If someone wants to prance about the country, telling everyone how Christian they are, that person had better well live up to it, or the American public will eat them for lunch. There have been plenty of examples that have been chewed up and spit out before now, so Carrie’s can’t exactly say she wasn’t warned.

Can you imagine if Al Gore or Ed Begley, Jr. got caught driving a Hummer? Barney Frank or Jon Stewart got caught in a hood at a Klan rally? Those pictures would be on the front page of every newspaper and be the lead story on CNN in a heartbeat.

It’s perfectly legitimate to flog someone for not living up the ideal they want to hold you to. If you are going to tell gays they aren’t moral enough for civil rights, don’t be shocked when your immorality gets the front page of the National Enquirer. That’s not persecution for your beliefs, that’s a richly deserved cosmic bitch slap. Ask Ted Haggard, that’s how these things work, honey. That’s it’s worked for a very long time now and if you can’t handle it, sit down, and shut up.

Carrie can handle this one of 2 ways, she can stop being the scoldy finger of morality and learn a valuable lesson in tolerance here. Or she can continue with her Whinefest 2009 tour and not learn a damn thing. Bets?

Flog away people. Carrie deserves every lash. TWACK!

Tarts like this have been asking for it for years. I've known all too many that pretended to be the very pinnacle of morality while screwing your husband when you're away.

Keep on TWACKing , mypsyche!

Thanks, 65AndStillAlive. We all know (and hate) the type.
Sacnner, no one of consequence, don't worry about it.
At least Vanessa Williams had the smarts to become a singer and actress and not mention the Penthouse photos again.
And she was smart enough not waste her time commenting on other people's morals. Thanks, ocular.
I know her. She's really very sweet. (Not)
Yeah John, I'll bet that whining scold is just the best lunch partner! :)
Hey, waste all the time you like hating on Carrie Prejean but at least lets set the record straight.

She never went out trying to tell anybody how to live their life. She was just a contestant in a beauty pagent that no one either watches or cares about until this idiot and sorry excuse for a human being Perez Hilton, who's only talent seems to be no having any, injuects the politics of homosexuality in to a beauty friggin pagent. A BEAUTY PAGENT!!!!
So, totally taken aback, this girl answers the question in a way that people perceive a politically incorrect. Suddenly the media follows Perez Hilton down the hissy fit path and all hell breaks loose.
Remember it's A BEAUTY PAGENT!!!! Does this girl's opinion matter? Did she ever seek a forum to express such an opinion? Who, ultimately, provided her with such a forum?

Sorry, I don't know what happened there.

The point is that it's a beauty pagent where all the answers are suppose to be "world peace."

Oh, and keep in mind that she shares the same opinion on this subject as our current President.

If this young woman can make a living out of being villified and savaged by the likes of Perez Hilton then I say more power to her.
John Walker, , you are very wrong in saying that Carrie Prejean has not gone around telling people how to live their life, she has been very, very active on the anti-gay marriage circuit. Had she just spoken her piece at the pageant and then shut up, you would have a valid point. But she didn’t shut up, she’s made quite a career of her anti-gay marriage crusade, as a matter of fact. If she is going to go around preaching her “Christian” message, she has no right to whine and complain when others point out that she has not exactly lived a stellar life herself.
JLee, as a matter of fact, I do believe she has compared herself to SP. Because only conservative women get vilified for their beliefs, dontchaknow.
