Miss California's Crown Yanked
Source: NBC

Miss Cali's Crown Yanked Carrie Prejean, who made controversial comments about gay marriage, was Miss USA runner-up until Wednesday

By ERIC S. PAGE

Prior to winning the 2009 crown, Prejean was a member of the San Diego Padres' Pad Squad as well as as a finalist for a case model on "Deal or No Deal." Carrie even modeled for E! Entertainment at the Academy Awards.

Pageant officials stripped Carrie Prejean of her title Wednesday.

This was a decision based solely on contract violations, including Ms. Prejean’s unwillingness to make appearances on behalf of the Miss California USA organization,” stated Miss Califronia USA director Keith Lewis. “After our press conference in New York, we had hoped we would be able to forge a better working relationship. However, since that time it has become abundantly clear that Carrie is unwilling to fulfill her obligations under our contract and work together.”

Prejean created controversy during the Miss USA competition, where she was first runner-up, when she answered judge Perez Hilton's question about gay marriage by saying marriage should be reserved for men and women.

6. Looks like Miss "Jugs 4 Jeezus" got too big for her bikini bottoms
Basically she was made a right wing icon and it went to her head. I know, I know...hard to believe isn't it?

7. I would say she wanted this. Suddenly she's invited to wingnut conferences.
As long as she has a crown she can't take money and make appearances for here rw causes. She is probably already eying a spot on Fox.

10. At least it's for contractural reasons.
I think she's a screwed-up nut, especially regarding what's "unnatural" and all (try bleach, silicone, and peroxide to change one's appearance... THAT is unnatural...)

But if she was fired for saying her opinion... well, I've already posted my response to that mindset in GD and the Lounge. First they came for the phone bible bangers and I didn't cry because I wasn't one of them... isn't that how the story goes?

32. That's what they say
Could be they engineered and excuse based on a desire to get rid of her because of her personal views. I've seen it happen in many other organizations.

:woohoo:

By the way, NBC, Prejean's gay marriage answer was controversial because it was self-contradictory, rambling, and bimboesque.

18. I guess the Blonde Barbie Republican schtick has grown cold.
It's amazing the Anne Coulter lasted as long as it did, and Michelle Malkins rhetoric turns her into an OLD hag despite Satans best efforts to make her look good.

The Republicans are so desperate that they'll try anything over and over and over again.

20. She found another gravy train
She didn't need to go to those Miss CA USA events anymore, not when she's gotten way more famous by tapping into the desperate RW networks who need somebody, anything to grab on to. She'll never have another opportunity to cash in like this again. Hell I don't even know the name of the girl who won the Miss USA crown, but I sure know who Carrie Prejean is, she's milked this for all it's worth. She can dump all those pageant obligations and become a RW darling, hell she'll go on all the shows, be guest hosting Fox and Friends, probably be a big part of a Palin or somebody else's campaign in 2012. She keep doing anti-gay ads for years and years, long past the time anybody will even care about it, but that's just how the RW welfare network works. You play ball you'll always have a job, if you're a novelty like Prejean, even better.
