She is as stringent and wholesale an example of the Christian Right's despicable doublespeak and hatred that has been poisoning our country for too long as there is in modern American society. She's an avatar, she's a monster.
Carrie Prejean is a hateful bigot who will not tolerate being called on her shit. And we should not give her any amount of credence for it. That any member of the media, old Triceratops Larry King included, would give her any kind of due is just another shameful and sad example of the fact that rhetoric against gay people in this country is tacitly tolerated by popular media, because some wingnut idiots who believe that someone lived inside a whale for a few months threaten righteous rage if said media doesn't give lip service to their ridiculous, completely untrue, ancient assertions about what makes people's sexuality.
The tyranny of religion in this country MUST END if we expect to get anything good and decent and progressive done in this fucked up swamp of a nation we live in. I've had it with this spectacular waste of life, and I've had it with people like Larry King putting up with her bullshit to meet a bottom line.
I'm fucking done. I'm outraged. Say "Who cares about Carrie Prejean??" all you want, I CARE. This woman is an enormous example of why gay teenagers across this country kill themselves in droves every year. Gayness is equated with ugliness in every arena. Figures it was a beauty queen who should point this out.

I've called these anti-gay-marriage laws Jym Crow laws before and I've gotten dinged for it. But what else can we call it? There is legislation on the books in Washington State right now that fits, to a T, the definition of "separate but equal."
The argument that it's not akin to racism or Jim Crow is, what? That JC laws were far more strict? Of course they were, but we've evolved since then. And forget marriage. Let's talk about the military. People of all skin colors are allowed to serve openly in the military. And yet gays are not. Both traits are something beyond the individual's control. Thus discrimination based on those lines is undeniably bigoted and disgusting.
There is no difference at work here. I know that sex is taboo, and especially the idea of two guys butt-fucking is absolutely heinous and repulsive to many people, but it is a fact of humanity. To self-righteously deny the fundamental right to equality of 30 million Americans (and counting), because you find the idea of two penises touching, is to cast this country in a public light of immaturity and ignorance. Is that really the face we want to present while going forward in this globalized world?
I'm so ashamed of America and Americans--of Californians, of Maineiacs, of harpies like Carrie Prejean and those that give her airtime.
Your grandchildren are going to look at you with deep shame. What pockmarks on history you are. What dumps. What wrecks. What fucking relics. #carrieprejean

It's a lot of things. Fighting for that 'in your living room/at the bar/at your parent's house/at work' gets old after awhile. Wake up, yawn, I am a faggot, how can I be good today. #carrieprejean

You know what I just realized this reminds me of?
Specifically the erratic "I think you are being... extremely... inappropriate right now" part?
Kelly Bensimon's epic sit down with Bethenny Frankel at the Brass Monkey on The Real Housewives of New York. #carrieprejean

Also, morality or politics aside, I think she disqualified herself as Miss California by just sounding like an airhead, both here and with Hannity a few days ago. Not that beauty contestants are expected to possess Nobel-caliber intelligence, but we do (I do, anyway) expect them to be polished, even if the content of their replies are vapid.

Anyway, Carrie Prejean is a blithering idiot. Of all the things to get upset about, it was the fact that Larry asked her why she decided to settle?
Seriously, can she not.
And my favorite line from the segment was Lar Bear's confused groan to Carrie once he realized that something was up: "Who are you talking to?!"
His suspenders were pretty tonight, too. All-in-all, solid entertainment. #carrieprejean

Why would anybody in real media want to sit down with someone pimping a product, who wanted to dictate the terms? #carrieprejean

Personally I give Stewart a pass because he gave us Colbert, and Colbert gave us his White House Correspondent's Dinner performance, which might be one of the most truly amazing things I will ever see.
