Dang me, 25 pages and counting over the opinion of a blonde beauty pageant winner. I wonder if anyone here can name last years Miss California, or even the winner of whatever pageant it was. I come from a state where these things are a seruious business, and even back there, the only time it makes it off the inside pages next to the TV schedule is if one of them gets arrested or something.
So now the would-be Miss California is a household name, taylor-made spokeswoman for the anti-same sex marriage groups with gen-u-ine victimhood bullets in her resume, indignant bloggers keeping her name in the news long after she would of sank from the public awareness, assuming the public would of been aware of her to begin with. What do they say out there in Hollyweird, theres no bad publicity.
You could say its a sign of progress that an opinion like the one Miss Prejean expressed cost her the crown; ten years ago I doubt that would of been the case, though coming as I do from beauty pageant country, I doubt shes the only one out there, as the gals that go in for this in the first place tend to be pretty traditional. Howvere, any steps forward have been cancelled out by a more than a few steps back in the form of the vicious commentary from this Perez Hilton...creature, and of course the sadly predictable cattery from women everywhere, nothing like a good-looking gal the ladies dont like to bring those claws out.
Until this "scandal" I had no idea who Perez Hilton was. SO I looked at about 3 pages of his "blog" and was amazed that there is an biological male out there that is nastier, bitchier, and cattier than all the commentary ever written on Governor Sarah Palin. In the Case of Gov. Palin, the hysteria is somewhat understandable in that she was in contention to become the second most powerful person on the planet. Carrie Prejean is a Damn beauty pageant contestant. Her opinion, which she has a perfect right to, is the opinion of a class of women who think Oklahoma is the capital of Texas. Having been a beauty pageant contestant prbably predisposed people to dismiss Gov. Palin as a featherweight, fair or not. She likely cursed the day she put on the bathing suit.
I give a rats ass what Carrie Prejeans opinion is on same-sex marriage. This is not a powerful public figure, this is an opener of supermarkets. My reflexive response to women like her, fair or not, is a blonde joke. Im FAR more disturbed by an (alleged) man with blonde hair as fake as Miss Californias boobs, and boobs much larger than hers that are totally natural, who makes a living posting countless pages of nastiness and hate of celebrities to the point that hes a celebrity himself, and all of it while representing gay men everywhere. Miss California expresses her opinion against same-sex marriage, and Perez Hilton has a hysterical public shit fit while embodying every negative stereotype of gay men, and inventing a few new ones.
I dont agree with Carrie Prejean, it kinda goes without saying. But next to that freakshow Perez Hilton, she comes out a Damn sight better. I dont agree with her, but I actually feel sorry for her, he was just outta line. It is possible to make a point without going so far overboard you negate any credibilty you had. Dude makes Liberace look normal. I just wish there was some kind of injunction you could take out to bar someone from representing a given group.
