In the spirit of things continuing as they have for thousands of years- I plan to quit my job, begin doing needlepoint, find me a husband, have a male offspring, give up all my rights to property and my right to vote.  In fact, maybe we should repeal the right to vote for everyone but white males.  No property rights unless you are born of nobility.  People can begin owning slaves again.

I think one of the things that makes our country great is the fact that everyone has the right to their own opinion.  Although I would not consider myself to be down with most traditional Christian values, I DO think they are one of the most persecuted groups in modern society.  I often wonder how long true freedom of religion in this country will last.  I don't think these sort of questions belong in a beauty pagent.  Personal beliefs have no place.  The focus should be on community service, education, talent, etc.  These seem to be the value points that pagent people throw out there.  Aargh.  I hate even thinking about pagents.  Especially ones for little girls.

Trump says it's a win-win situation for her; I agree. Because even if you win, you can't stand out in that stupid plastic dog and pony show unless you say or do something provocative.

Donald Trump: Miss California Decision "Probably Today or Tomorrow" Peter Gicas, eonline 20 hours ago

Donald Trump, Miss California Carrie Prejean

* Email Story * Discuss * Print

* Digg * Del… * Plaxo

UPDATE: TheDirty.com blogger Nik Richie tells E! News that, despite Carrie Prejean's claim that there's only one controversial photo of her floating around, he can confirm that his website (which scored the first scandalous pic) is in possession of more images—and he intends to post them.

"The other pics are a little bit more risky," Richie says.

They say a picture—or in this case, pictures—are worth a thousand words. Especially if Donald Trump is the person doing the talking.

Never one to shy away from sharing his thoughts, the real estate mogul talked about the whole Miss California photo scandal during a call in to Ryan Seacrest's morning radio show on Wednesday…

As the owner of the Miss USA franchise, Trump said the alleged racy shots of Carrie Prejean are heading his way so that he can review them and determine if they are grounds for her to lose that coveted sash.

"They're sending me the photos now, and we have to make a decision, but from what I'm hearing, they're not so bad," The Donald told Ryan, before slyly pointing out: "And her body does look good."

"She's a beautiful girl," he continued. "And I'm not sure if, in the end, is this going to help her or hurt her? I think maybe it helps her. I don't think she realizes that." CelebTV: Is Carrie Prejean the Next Sarah Palin?

While Trump intends to come to a resolution "probably today or tomorrow," he's clearly into it all. Between this, Prejean's other scandalous moment and, lest we forget, Celebrity Apprentice—"Joan Rivers' controversy on poker players"—he said it has definitely made for "an amazing period of time!"

The king of morality The Donald has announced Carrie Prejean will be keeping her crown.

I was watching Headline News today and Perez Hilton was being interviewed.  He got so mad at the male interviewer he said he would only field questions from the lovely female sitting next to him LOL.

 This seems about as believable as a baseball player saying he didn't know his trainer was giving him steroids...

Miss California says topless photos were "photographer's fault"

 http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/30718342/

At the Tuesday press conference, Prejean has said that the latest revealing photos were taken during what she thought was a break in a shoot on a wind-swept cliff. She is wearing a tiny vest in the pictures, and in some of them, the vest is blown away from her breasts.

She expanded on that story Wednesday, emphasizing that the photographer was not authorized to sell pictures of her topless.

That was a bit glib, but something along those lines. Maybe more like: if an conservative GOP were to come out and say "I support civil unions but not gay marriage" it means they really hate gays but are grudgingly supporting civil rights for political expediency.  If a liberal dem were to say "I support civil unions but not gay marriage" it means they are for gay marriage but can't say so for political expediency.  just a theory.

Also, seems like miss California is coming through this pretty well- she didn't get fired for a violation of her contract that had nothing to do with her opinions, already has gotten a national spokesperson position, etc...

Seriously?????  That's what you think is the reason for the liberal silence surrounding the Obama or Clinton position on same sex marriage??? And conversely, opposing same sex marriage by conservatives = hating gays?!?!  You can't possibly mean this, right?

ahhh, still too glib I see...  No I don't believe this literally, I was throwing it out there as a theory.  Actually, I think the "silence" over Obama may be overexaggerated- people were PISSED at him out here when prop 8 went down, since the Yes on 8 people were using him in their ads.  And in general, while the GOP flame war is getting all the press, the obama administration is getting heat from the left as well on Afghanistan,  polar bears, you name it...

I guess my point is that the democrats have fostered a better public image on civil rights, whether earned or not (problably some of both).  They have built up more social capital for citizens for which civil rights is a big priority.  The GOP on the other hand has not had a very good record on this (Southern Strategy, marriage ammendments, etc).

Okay.

Yes - made more shocking because people also assume the blow-dried, cap-toothed, trained seals of Miss USA will lie (and worse) -- to get that crown. ... Completely unlike politicians of both parties *cough cough.*

The controversy is that she had the gall to NOT lie. So she's either stupid, full of hate, has strong convictions or just a great instinct for news value (ie. a slut talks about a hot topic and the whole world listens.)

Possibly all of the above

Where the folk does it say that a Christian adult girl can't show her brestesses? So, i guess that profession-modeling-can not be persued by a Christian. Fuck that . Anyway, it did look windy on that beach, boat shoot. Whatever. If it's good enough for Disney stars and it is artistic and just a breastes for crying out loud. Am i off here?

Aren't there breasts in religious stained glass and paintings?
