A Queen De-throned

Rate: 5 Flag
A tragic queen.

 
So it looks like Miss California, Carrie Prejean, has lost her title and her crown - for breaking her contract with the Miss California pageant. Basically, she was too busy spouting her crap about traditional marriage to show up to appearances as obliged to by her contract.

Frankly, I think this faux-mammaried sham has received way too much exposure in the media (then again, here I am talking about here). But I think it's important to point out why. It's not that she's from the most pro-gay state in the union (behind Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Iowa...) and is blatantly against marriage equality. It's not that she voiced her honest opinion in the pageant. It's not the fact that she jabbed her stilletos right in the hearts of all the gay men that helped make her into the glamor-bomb she is.

It's the fact that she CLAIMED to be exercising her freedom of speech by joining the National Organization for Marriage (NOM NOM nom nom) and made it a political agenda ... and then got all butt-hurt when others spoke out against her. She, among many other right-wing hypocrites, seems to think that freedom of speech means that she can spout her crap and everyone has to listen.

Baby... it's freedom of speech, not obligation of listening. And that means I have the right to speak out against your babble just as loudly as you spout it.

So here's to Miss Malibu - the first runner up - taking the crown for Miss California. And here's to the REAL QUEENS holding their crown in the Golden State!

Exactly! Didn't you know that freedom of speech isn't supposed to mean the freedom to fight back when verbally attacked? It is hilarious how conservatives like Prejean and Palin throw themselves voluntarily and happily into the middle of the political circus and then get all pissy when people question their views, or their obvious lack of intelligent answers, or when shit gets dug up about them. As if shit doesn't get dug up on every single person who steps into the public eye for even a fleeting moment. No, they are the exception, because they are the "real America."
Bravo. That was an excellent post. No one has criticized her right to freedom of speech though she questions our right not to like what she has to say and thinks there's something wrong with us for protesting. She also seems to think that if she doesn't work she's entitled to keep her job. Good riddance to her.

Thank you for posting this. Rated.
