Matt Lauer is on fire when it comes to booking developmentally delayed Republican ladies. First it was Sarah Palin this morning, followed by Carrie Prejean, who says her "dethroning" as Miss California was a set-up just like Marion Barry.

Prejean says she was fired because she's an opposite-marriager, and that her beauty pageant handler Keith Lewis undermined her by...liking gay marriage? We can't figure it out. She doesn't blame Donald Trump, can't explain why he would fire her now because she doesn't like gay people when he publicly supported her immediately after she said she didn't like gay people, and says that before all this started Lewis never asked her to make any appearances and she used to call people and say, "Hi, I'm Miss California—would you like me to attend your event?" No. No we would not.
