The Political Whore

So even before my first cuppa this morning I am subjected to a live Today Show interview with beauty queen aspirant Carrie Prejean, the Miss California entrant who believes that celebrity blogger and out-gay Perez Hilton cost her the Miss USA title with his query about same-sex marriage.

So giving her the benefit of the doubt at that time, Prejean was a very bad question-answerer.

Now, however, we have confirmation that she is a bonafide gay hater. Prejean is part of an anti-gay-marriage advertisement being unveiled today by a national anti-gay group. It won’t embed, so you have to check it out here. Politico reports:

The anti-same-sex marriage National Organization for Marriage is trying to turn the tables on gay rights activists this morning with a new ad accusing them of attacking Miss USA contestant Carrie Prejean for opposing gay marriage.

The ad … will be released at a press conference with Prejean — the new star of that movement — today in Washington, D.C.

No softballs for Carrie Prejean, the Christian college student who is Miss California competing in the Miss USA pageant. (She didn’t win, by the way.) She drew something more than the normal “Why do you want world peace” fluff query during the show last night, a question from Perez Hilton about gay rights:

Perez Hilton: “Vermont recently became the 4th state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit. Why or why not?”

Prejean: “Well I think its great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And you know what, in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised and that’s how I think it should be between a man and a woman. Thank you very much.”

Then all hell broke loose backstage. Read about it here.
