Media Whore Returns

We know what a "bimbo" is. Many don't know what a bimbette is. A bimbette is a bimbo-wannabe without the class. And when it comes to bimbettes the most classless of the group is Carrie Prejean.

You remember she is on-again, off-again moral Christian who spouted off on gays and then started having temper tantrums as the winner of the Miss California beauty pageant. Prejean is so stereotypical it is frightening. She comes across as totally clues, massive self-absorbed and pretty much a bitch. That wasn't enough of a stereotype for her so he had the Miss California contest pay to enlarge her breasts.

That, I find very odd, for a fundamentalist, moralistic, won't-shut-up kind of Christian. She artificially inflates her boobs, stuffs them in tiny bikini tops, flaunts them before the public to solicit lust from men, while preaching about the evils of lust and proclaiming herself an advocate of Biblical morality. Of course, she went even further with topless photos being taken.

Prejean got a second chance when Donald Trump let her stay on as Miss California but she hadn't changed. She wanted to use her position to promote her retarded views on religion. She continued to make demands and treat people around like shit and she screwed up her second chance as well. This time Trump approved her being fired. She wasn't doing the job so she ought to get canned. Apparently Prejean thinks that plastic boobs makes her immune from contractual obligations --- or maybe it was Jesus that offered her an escape clause.

Prejean is now "suing" the two people who run the Miss California contest but is carefully avoiding naming Donald Trump in the suit, though he owns the entire pageant. She is claiming that she is the victim of religious discrimination. She was fired for being a major ass but apparently being an ass is required by her faith. She whines that she was told to "stop mentioning God" as the Miss California representative. Well, that makes sense. She was paid to flaunt fake boobs not preach the gospel. If she wanted to be a missionary she shouldn't sign up for a beauty pageant. All she was hired to do, when chosen for Miss California, was represent the beauty pageant in public. She wanted to turn the position she was paid to do into a bully pulpit for moronic fundamentalism. And when the pageant didn't like her doing that she claims they are being bigots. Her own bigotry, however, is sanctioned by her god so that can't be mentioned or condemned, according to her.

Prejean told the staff of the pageant that she refused to work with them. "I will only surround myself with people who make me happy. And right now, that is none of you." I will see you all in April (at the national pageant). Please do not contact me at all from this point forward." So she basically told her employers that she would not listen to them in regards to her job. She deserved to be fired a lot sooner than she was.

Remember that Prejean was fired in June. So why wait until September to file a law suit?

Prejean was sure that she and her silicon would become world famous and that she would have a career as, something. She no doubt entertained notions of Hollywood stardom, perhaps a news anchor spot. That she stumbles over her own sentences, however, makes her unemployable in any career where she has to open her mouth (at least any career where you open it to talk). But she had these fantasies anyway. Stupid people often vastly exaggerate their own abilities. When she got fired her fantasy went tumbling down.

She had to manufacture a new way to get rich fast. Instead of using her fake boobs to earn her an income she became a professional victim. She started a tour of the fundamentalist revival tents weeping about how she was persecuted for standing up for Jesus. She won't quite mention she was standing up for Jesus in a bikini with newly inflated breasts flopping out to encourage the judges to lust after her.

Along the way someone suggested that she "write" a book. Books, to her, are for coloring, so this was a chore. No doubt she hired someone to string her vastly exaggerated claims and lies together into a semi-coherent rant. She will tell everyone how she is a staunch Christian, proven by her nasty attitude, and that she is being persecuted by the radical, lesbian, feminist, secularist, humanists, homosexual, communist cabal that runs the world. She is basically an another Anne Coulter, but without the charm.

The book, I believe,is the reason for the lawsuit. Like a bad infection the lawsuit will let Prejean linger around in the public eye for the next few weeks. That added publicity will help when she launches her book. I checked with sources I know at her publisher and was told that the book is due out at the beginning of November. So filing a lawsuitm just eight weeks before the release datem is meant to milk the publicity of the lawsuit for all it's worth. The lawsuit, I don't believe, has a chance. But then it wasn't filed to win. It was filed for the PR value in a campaign to sell the book to demented conservatives and deranged fundamentalists.

Prejean has one last chance to milk this for what she can. Her book will be released. Conservatives and the Religious Right will proclaim it is proof of the evil agenda of everyone they hate (which is a lot of people). She will get a few more speaking engagements, particularly from those who have never actually heard her try to form a sentence. If she can teach herself to cry from the pulpit she will get old ladies patting her hand now and then and Christian young men (pledged to abstain from sex) trying to bed her. But all in all she has nothing to offer beyond the imaginary tale of persecution that she is coughing up for the revival circuit.

The book will come out. People who tend not to read books anyway, will pick up a copy in order to confirm their worst views about the people they hate. And, in a couple months time, the book will be remaindered. And Carrie Prejean will become a third rate celebrity in fundamentalist circles and forgotten by the rest of the world.
