It is only "fun" for people who despise Carrie Prejean. Saying you a Christian and trying to adhere to a basic following of Christianity does not mean that you have never sinned.
Her politically incorrect answer of marriage being between a man and a woman does not mean that she proclaimed HERSELF to be Mother Teresa Part Deux.
I don't recall her ever going after the past of those who are against her like they have gone after her. And the super classy tolerance preaching gay pageant directer calling in Carrie and her mother and playing the tape was no doubt a gleeful moment in further humiliation.
What's next ......did she smoke a joint when she was younger, drop the f-bomb, drink milk straight from the carton!
The same crowd eagerly awaits a Sarah Palin divorce.............while saying little about David Letterman getting smacked in the face............
tripping over there own selective moral pedestal........
I think I'm one of the people you're speaking of. I'm totally entertained by this woman being knocked down a few notches. BTW, I'm against gay marriage but not for the same reasons many are (similiar, but not the same). And I would be equally ammused by a palin divorce. You see when people put themselves out there as having some sort of higher moral standing than everyone else I believe it is not only our right but our duty to find out if they are for real. If they aren't it should be shouted from the rooftops so everyone will know. Now Ms Prejean's comment about gay marriage was okay by me, I wouldn't begrudge anyone their religious beliefs. However, in the aftermath she appeared on many morning shows etc and while I don't recall her exact words I do recall getting the feeling that she portrayed herself as being ultra conservative, ultra religious, going to follow the good book no matter what type of gal. Then she proceded to claim in a lawsuit that she had been disctriminated against for her religious beliefs. So now we find out that she isn't so good at following her religious beliefs as she would have us believe. I don't think the GM issue though is why these tapes surfaced.
I'm not a huge fan of beauty pagents but I hear they have some rules that you have to follow to participate. One of them is that contestants should not have participated in any salacious behaviour, in order to spare the pageant from embarrassment. The wording is mine, but you get the picture, they want the girls to appear to be pure wholesome young woman representing them, not some wanton hussy that might tarnish their good name (LOL). So there are contracts to be signed attesting to such and penalties to be dealt with if it is found that the contestant was less than truthful. So when faced with Ms Prejean's lawsuit it was within their right to investigate to see if she had held up her end of the bargain. If she hadn't then "poof" no more lawsuit because you see she would have been fired anyhow regardless of the whole GM issue. And that appears to be just what happened. Now the entertaining part for me is seeing a person who I already suspected as a hypocrite proven as such but also seemingly exposed as a liar as well.
I'll save the Sara Palin rant for another time but I will take issue with David Letterman. Dave never held himself up as an superior moral being in the first place, and when his actions were discovered and exposed he did not hide, nor did he deny or lie about his actions. He stood up and accounted for himself. Not that he needed to, but he did. My opinion about comparing his misdeeds to that of Ms Prejeans (or Palin's, whatever they may be) is that it is the comparison of apples to oranges.
