Do you like models? Do you like Christians? Do you like people who are both of those things and never ever shut up about it?
You do? You’re in for a treat – Carrie Prejean is back in the news! Notice that we didn’t refer to her as ‘Miss California Carrie Prejean’, by the way. That’s because she’s not Miss California any more – Donald Trump has just belatedly given her the boot.
Depending on who you listen to, Carrie Prejean was sacked for any number of reasons – but let’s just save time and say it’s because she’s a genuinely unlovable turdswan.
That whole Carrie Prejean flap seems like it happened ages ago, doesn’t it? So much so that we’re already sitting our fictional grandchildren down on our knee and telling them about the magical time long ago when a reasonably pretty woman decided to use the 10 seconds she was allotted in a beauty contest to blather on about how gay people are all icky and every time she sees two men holding hands she compulsively vomits and poos at the same time (we’re paraphrasing).
It seems like it happened so long ago because we assumed it was all over. Carrie Prejean had triumphed against the killjoys who said that Miss California shouldn’t pose almost naked in photos or subscribe to an old-fashioned and offensive brand of ideals whereby people are determined to be second-class citizens based on nothing more than their sexuality.
Donald Trump said that Carrie Prejean was pretty enough to keep her Miss California job, and one town even initiated a Carrie Prejean Day, where we assume each citizen was allowed to render no more that one homosexual unconscious using a commemorative ‘I too subscribe to Carrie Prejean’s outmoded belief system’ extendable police nightstick. And that was that. Sure, it may have ruffled a few feathers, but Carrie Prejean kept her job and that was that.
Except, hang on, that wasn’t that at all. Yesterday, completely out of the blue, Donald Trump decided that we was going to sack Carrie Prejean after all. And it must have been serious, because Donald Trump didn’t even use the announcement to try and hawk any of his awful television shows, either. So what was the reason for Carrie Prejean’s sacking? Let’s ask TMZ:
Trump told us Carrie refused to appear at around 30 events on behalf of Miss California USA. He says Prejean was contractually bound to appear and she just wouldn’t do it. He doesn’t think her attitude has anything to do with her politics. Trump said: “To me she was the sweetest thing. Everyone else — she treated like shit.”
So let this be a lesson to any aspiring beauty queens out there – feel free to be as painfully unsympathetic to as many subsections of the community as you like, but remember to say please and thank-you while you do, otherwise you’re out.
Needless to say, Carrie Prejean’s getting her knickers in a twist about being fired like this – but does it really matter? By the sound of it, her official Miss California duties – waving at the poor from a throne, reciting badly-memorised soundbites about world peace, that sort of thing – were getting in the way of her ambition to become the world’s prettiest wingnut bigot. In all honesty it sounds like all parties involved here have partly got what they want, and they should be able to move on individually in a much more positive manner.
Still, let’s hope Carrie Prejean’s Miss California replacement doesn’t cause as much of a stink as her predecessor. We’ve got high hopes for you, Goebbels McRacist-Hatecrime.

Why isn’t NOW defending this lady. She didn’t even win the damned contest but she was hounded and ridiculed by politicians, hollyweird, comedians and the press for weeks.
This is is the same sort of raping the same folks are giving Sarah Palin and she is another woman who didn’t win.
If you lose and that group doesn’t like your political views its ok to get “gang raped” in public until you commit suicide, have a breakdown or until your corpse is burned and dumed in some lake????
WHERE IS NOW TO STAND UP FOR THESE WOMEN?
WHY ISN’T THE ACLU ALSO STANDING UP FOR THEIR RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH WITHOUT THE ORGANIZED “RAPING” OF THEIR CHARACTER?

Are you joking? She wasn’t ridiculed because she’s a female, she was ridiculed because she’s a bigot moron, why would NOW defend her? And seriously, raping of their character? Gang raped in public until you commit suicide? Your corpse burned and dumped in some lake? Calm down, skippy. Not only are you an idiot, you’re a little offensive. Learn to spell, and come back later.
