You might think that everybody was utterly bored by Carrie Prejean by now. But you’d be completely wrong.

Because there’s still Miss California co-director Shanna Moakler. Even though Donald Trump has already allowed Carrie Prejean to keep the Miss California title, Shanna Moakler refuses to give up the fight – she’s still there, figuratively standing on the mountaintop waving the flag. Admittedly it’s a flag made out of nobody cares and she’s standing top of Mount Shut Up, but never mind.

Anyway, Shanna Moakler has resigned from her job in protest at Carrie Prejean. Weird, huh? Shanna Moakler had a job?

Although people are generally dismayed by all this nonsense about Carrie Prejean – either because they feel that the basic right to free speech is being eroded or because they’re offended that someone can still harbour such antiquated opinions in 2009 – you have to admit that quite a lot of good has come from it.

For starters, it’s managed to test the limits of human endurance like nothing else before it – it’s been a month already and we haven’t quite thrown ourselves off a bridge at the futility of it all. Secondly, it’s allowed people to write “Get Aids and die you cum swallowing queers“ on the internet under an assumed name which, as everybody can attest, is the absolute pinnacle of bravery. And thirdly it’s reminded us of the existence of Shanna Moakler.

Oh, you know. Shanna Moakler. Not married to the drummer from Blink 182 any more. Possibly punched Paris Hilton in a nightclub once. You remember. Anyway, Shanna Moakler is also the co-director of the Miss California pageant, because instructing a bunch of breathtakingly stupid girls how to walk around in bikinis is apparently a job now.

Or should we say that Shanna Moakler was the co-director of the Miss California pageant – thanks to Donald Trump’s decision to let Carrie Prejean retain her crown, she’s just decided to resign, saying:

“I cannot with a clear conscious move forward supporting and promoting the Miss Universe Organization when I no longer believe in it, or the contracts I signed committing myself as a youth. I want to be a role model for young [women], but now feel it more important to be a role model for my children. I am sorry and hope I have not let any young supporters down but wish them the best of luck in fulfilling their dreams.”

Now, we’re assuming that Shanna Moakler resigned because Carrie Prejean said that all gay people lived in trees and couldn’t use cutlery properly and smelt like old peoples’ beds (we’re paraphrasing) at the Miss USA pageant and not because she posed for about a million naked photos, because Google Images shows that Shanna’s not too sloppy when it comes to that either.

So what next for Shanna Moakler? It’s hard to say for sure, but taking a stand against Donald Trump like this can’t be good. It’s probably ruled her out of the next Celebrity Apprentice, and that’s a shame – as a woman who was formerly married to the drummer in an awful one-hit wonder band from a decade ago, she’d have easily been the most famous contestant there.
