Tell me about it!! No way in hell do I want the likes of Marion Barry representing blacks.

And yes, we do use the word "niggah" at each other in all kinds of ways, including pejoratively.

I often hear gay men do the same thing with "faggott." I worked in an office with a couple of swishy guys, and they used it all the time. Used call each other (and me BTW) "stupid faggott," "drunk faggott," etc. One day, during a heated argument, A said to B, "why don't you shut up and get your faggott ass out of my face!!" A hush fell over the office because we all knew they were really angry at each other. Luckily the phone wrang and it was a customer.

Sarah Palin Defends Miss Calif.

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin issued a statement in defense of Miss California on Wednesday, saying that she could relate to the “liberal onslaught of malicious attacks against Carrie Prejean” and framing the controversy as a matter of free speech.

“Carrie and I spoke soon after the attacks started; I can relate as a liberal target myself,” said Palin, also a beauty queen before she entered the spotlight as the Republican vice presidential nominee last year.

“What I find so remarkable is that these politically-motivated attacks fail to show that what Carrie and I believe is also what President Obama and Secretary Clinton believe - marriage is between a man and a woman,” said Palin.

“I applaud Donald Trump for standing with Carrie during this time. And I respect Carrie for standing strong and staying true to herself, and for not letting those who disagree with her deny her protection under the nation's First Amendment Rights,” she said.

Palin’s attempt to align herself with Prejean, who sparked a national debate for her views against marriage equality and appearance in seminude photographs, marks her latest effort to remain in the public eye outside Alaska. On Wednesday, HarperCollins announced that it will publish the governor’s memoir next spring.

Miss California on Cable News: Fox & Friends Gives Carrie Prejean Her Chance

Miss California and Miss USA runner-up, Carrie Prejean, tossed around in the battle over gay marriage, will be a one-day guest host for Fox News Channel's popular morning show Fox & Friends, Whispers learns. She will host the 6 a.m.-to-7 a.m. slot on May 27, filling in for Gretchen Carlson—the 1989 Miss America—who will be off that day.

The decision to make her a one-day cohost was finalized yesterday—the same day Prejean and Miss USA owner Donald Trump appeared on Fox & Friends.

Suzanne Scott, Fox vice president for programming, filled me in on the details of the gig for Prejean, who was thrust into the headlines when she rejected gay marriage during the Q&A part of the pageant. "We're just using her one time," she said, "to sit with the boys and have some fun." The boys are cohosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade. "She has become a national celebrity in the last few weeks, and it's a fun thing to do," said Scott. "It's a good way to try get a little buzz and fun for the show. We'll see what happens with it," she added.

Fox & Friends has used news celebs before, and some have gone on to bigger and better things. Scott recalled using Tiki Barber on Fox & Friends while he was a member of the New York Giants. "He went off to become a TV star," she said. However, said Scott, there have been no talks with Prejean about a future with Fox.

Scott didn't know yet what the focus of the May 27 show will be, and Prejean might have to come in the day before to prepare.

Are you suggesting Moakler could stay with the pageant if she were drunk?

For the record, I think Perez Hilton is a screaming queen, but I would only call him a faggot in the private company of other fellow faggots, not in a public forum with a mixed membership like Bettermost.

Just in case anyone was wonderin'. ... ;)
