[...] of her contract. She refused to show up for official events, for instance, because she was too busy helping out the National Organization for Marriage (NOM), an anti-gay PAC. She’s claiming she was fired [...]

@CLS – I’d wager you are right on ALL counts! I’d been waiting to see how they planned to sensationalize the release of her book. Something also tells me The Donald may have had enough of Ms. Prejean by now that he will be more than happy to kick in the bucks it may take to defend his people and his enterprise. First off, though, is the question: Will the judge hear the case or make the paperwork into nice little airplanes???

A media whore is a media whore but this one knows what she is doing. This has nothing to do with the law suit and everything to do with the new antigay book she has coming out. I believe the release date is November and a law suit filed in September will garner publicity that she will use to take to the bank — literally.

She was also sure to sue people who wouldn’t have the resources to fight back without their boss helping them, while not suing the boss who could pay for the best attorneys to smack her down.

Lindoro,
just as a point of clarity, the judges don’t ask surprise questions of the contestants. The judge’s questions are written out in advance and all questions are given to the contestants in advance so that they can formulate answers ahead of time — rather than on the spot. Carrie even admitted as much by basically saying she was hoping not to get “that” question.

She was well aware that question was one of the possibilities. So she either failed to craft an articulate response, even with preparation, or she flubbed her own lines — neither one of which is good for someone who’s trying to get a job as a spokesperson.

I’m actually more interested now. I would love for this to go all the way to the SCOTUS.

The 2nd Amendment got it’s hey day in court, why not the 1st?

People need to learn that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof” does not mean “I can say whatever I want, and then claim religious persecution when it impacts me financially.”

She really may not want to open the can o’ worms known as religious discirmination.

I can slap Perez Hilton right now for helping to make this woman much more famous than she ever deserved.

Darn it, I knew someone would beat me to it. As has been noted repeatedly, Prejean didn’t even answer the question she was asked, but it also seems to have been a question designed to create controversy. Regardless of Prejean’s answer there was going to be an outcry over the question even being asked.

“And those who handled her were only interested in advancing their anti-gay advocacy and thought she was the perfect tool.”

She’s a perfect tool, all right.

Oh, to hell with her, no pun intended. Do any of us know the name of the current Miss California? Reigning Miss USA? Miss Universe?

Yeah, I thought not. I can slap Perez Hilton right now for helping to make this woman much more famous than she ever deserved.

One good thing about this recession is that now, maybe you have to do more than whip up fear against people who aren’t hurting anyone and/or look good in a bikini to keep yourself living comfortably and in the public eye.

She violated her contract. Then she was given a chance by The Donald himself to get back on track. She violated her contract again anyway.

Seems fairly cut and dry but I’m sure it won’t prevent a waste of a judge’s time from happening as a result anyway.
