Prop 8?

During the contest, as part of the contest, judge Perez Hilton asked her if she supported or opposed same-sex marriage. Apparently, she was punished for not giving the only acceptable answer. The contestants are graded on their politics now???

Miss Moron was not asked if she personally supported or opposed same-sex marriage. She was asked if every state should follow Vermont's example and legalize same-sex marriage. Here's the question:

"Vermont recently became the fourth state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit? Why or why not?"

Miss Moron did not answer the question. Her response was nonsensical within the context of the actual question presented. Miss Moron's Answer:

"Well I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. Umm. We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage, and you know what in my country and in my family I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman no offense to anybody out there but that's how I was raised and that's how I think it should be between a man and a woman."

Where's her answer to the actual question? Can we interpret her answer to be this: "YES. Every state should follow Vermont's lead and should legalize same-sex marriage because we live in a land [of equal civil rights] and Americans should be able to choose." Or do we interpret her answer as this: "NO. Every state should not follow Vermont's lead and should not legalize same-sex marriage because I was personally raised to believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman."

Again, she did not answer the question presented. She's a numbskull and deserved a failing score. Since then, she has not demonstrated that she's educated or informed in any manner whatsoever.

Check out Olbermann's new segment called WTF!?! featuring the moronic Miss California:

Hey, Debra, you beat me to it! Keith Olbermann got it right - again.

Donald Trump has spoken and his hair totally intact so presumably there's wasn't any wind to cause a wardrobe malfunction. Nor with the suit he had on could we tell if he has had man reduction. At least, we have to think Miss Pre-jeans shouldn't do any Superbowl halftime shows with Justin Timberlake. She's just phonier and more vain than most pageant show contestants and she wasn't backed up by the Miss California officials but the Donald obviously didn't take their opinion into consideration. The ratings thirsty Miss California show has to at least pay for itself 'cause the Donald obviously can't run casinos and doesn't want to be part of any more losing deals like his most of his contestants on Celebrity Apprentice. I think this was all Trumped up.

On The Today Show this morning with Matt Lauer after being asked if there were any more of these topless photos which might end up being released and she, once again, tried to deny and rationalize. Just in case

I could agree it could be seem to have been a loaded political question but someone who was smart enough wouldn't have answered as an advocate like she did. The answers Perez Hilton expected were just as much about state's rights as gay rights. What she stated was taking a position against state's rights based on her personal religious bent and now we've found out she is being influenced as a mouthpiece for the largely homophobic religious right. Obviously, Log Cabin Republicans and Andrew Sullivan, openly gay conservative columnist for The Atlantic, as examples, are for state's rights and gay rights.

Hey, Debra, you beat me to it! Keith Olbermann got it right - again....

This is a rather ludicrous post. . . .

There have been many political questions given to pageant contestants but they haven't joined any religious or non-religious political group specifically for the cause they are advancing prior to giving the answer. It reveals that she had an axe to grind and delivered, basically, a commercial. No matter what Hilton blurted out, there's still no real proof that she was "marked down" because of the response. Both Perez Hilton and Miss Carry Greenjeans have made peace with each other according to the last news I heard. The fact that she was a lobbyist for the cause of anti-gay marriage and subsequently used the pageant as a dais for a commercial when the cause is obviously losing ground is the way of politics, not beauty pageants.

In a video blog that he posted to his own website, Hilton referred to Prejean as a "dumb bitch," and called her answer "the worst in pageant history." He also told ABC News that she lost the crown because of how she answered the question,[9] adding that "There are various other ways she could have answered that question and still stayed true to herself without alienating millions of people."

Just because you allege my post is "ludicrous" doesn't make it so. Her "answer" to the question as posed was both nonresponsive and nonsensical.

And, what is your understanding of the First Amendment, Brandon? Did anyone violate Miss Moron's constitutionally secured "freedom of speech" by using their own speech to criticize her answer?

Well, of course, one famous bimbo (with the obvious gift of gab) comes to the rescue of another who is trying to become famous. Miss Wasilla can see Russia from her house and Miss Pre-jeans can see Hollywood from hers.

So, it's okay to ask contestants for political opinions and then give them poor marks for not stating the correct opinion? Yes, or no?
