Here's what Ex-Miss California had to say today:

From TMZ:

"What's behind this, I think, is a political debate,.....

"They don't agree with the stance that I took [on Prop 8]. Shanna [Moakler] is trying to bash me. They don't like me. From day one they wanted me out, and they got what they wanted."

Default I hope it's not too rude to note that.....

Water rises to it's own level.

And it this case, it's pretty low. I only hope that some refection and experience gives the former Miss California some perspective.

Ms Prejean has become a martyr for the religious pro-Prop 8 wrong. This incident just adds fuel to their fire. Given Trump's and the pageant's statements, I am wondering if she even entered the pageant for less than 'pageant' reasons. Or perhaps she is realizing the money she can make if she continues to speak out at events in favor of Prop 8 and against GLBT people. There is a lot of money to be made in that arena, and she appears to be an opportunist who is looking to benefit from it.

Although she was kept on after her anti-gay spiel, and in spite of semi-nude pictures and missing required events, and then eventually fired after ignoring continued warnings to adhere to her contract, she will of course blame the gays for her being fired. And the R/W (religious wrong) will continue to stand by her and use the incident to try and booster their position. They will get a few sympathetic supporters (oh, poor poor Miss CA...). But it could backfire and result in more people dismissing the anti-gay idiocy of the R/W'ers.

She will make her $$ and eventually go away and have some babies and be almost forgotten.

Her statement gives creedance to the saying "bubbleheaded bleach-blonds".

Poor baby, those that live by the sword, die by the sword.

I'm so incredibly tired of her. Would someone please remind her that the whole "persecuted for your beliefs" doesn't really apply when one willingly brings all the so called "persecution" upon oneself?

I don't rejoice in her getting defrocked or uncrowned or whatever they do to beauty queens. If she'd won she would have cut ribbons at some shopping mall and done the wave-touch-pearls thing at small-town parades for a year then faded into obscurity. Now she gets to be a martyr figurehead for the fundies. It makes the gay community look like a bunch of whiny titty babies who can't take criticism and who have to attack poor lil' ol' Miss California who just wanted to stand up stand up for Jesus. As the old hymn says.
I don't give a rat's what some pageant woman says about gay marriage. We need to save our ammo for real battles.

Carrie Prejean has just been fired from one of her sponsors for breach of contract - failing to appear at required appointments. Seems to be status quo for this one. I think the religious wrong would be doing themselves a favor to stay away from her. She will make them look even worse than they already do.

Several years down the road she might even become a Governor and get picked as a Vice President hopeful.
