Former Miss California Carrie Prejean, who became a conservative darling after saying marriage should be between a man and a woman at the Miss USA pageant, drew a standing ovation at the Values Voter Summit in Washington today.
She said she had learned to stick to her principles even when it's not easy -- even, say, when it costs you a Miss USA crown.
"Even though I didn't win the crown that night," she said, apparently trying to collect herself despite a wave of emotion, "I know that the Lord has so much of a bigger crown in heaven for me."
The crowd got up and cheered.
At the pageant, Prejean told judge Perez Hilton, "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." In June, Donald Trump fired Prejean from her Miss California gig for failing to make official appearances, which was part of her contract.

Presupposing God likes hypocrites, would Prejean get to keep her boob job?

She won't need her earthly boob job in heaven. In heaven, all boobs are heavenly. It was in The Meaning of Life.

Well, if you need a car, you're a "car buyer" If you need food, you're a "food shopper." And, so, if you have the highest divorce rate, child abuse rate, domestic abuse rate, high-school dropout rate and unwed-teen-pregnancy rate, then you're a "values voter." It makes sense, right?

The ultimate victim. She lost because of left wing bigotry (and not because she sounded stupid). She was fired because of left wing bigotry (and not because she was too busy trying to be Palin to bother being Miss California).
I wonder if she'll ever figure out that if her answer had anything to do with her loss-and I doubt it did-it's more likely because she she delivered it so clumsily.
"Opposite marriage?" Sheesh!

And I love how these idiots complain about what homosexuals did to the word "gay"--seeing as they're doing their level best to eff-up the common meanings of the words "values" and "family" to denote something only prudes and hypocrites have.
****
And what do you people have against tiaras, anyway? I wear mine around the house all the time.

The lord already gave her two golden globes, she's getting a bit greedy isn't she? Or, is that the opposite of greedy?
