I agree with Jon Stewart that the outrage over the Carrie Prejean "controversy" is mostly manufactured and stupidly distracting so I'll give him the final word on it:

She was asked a question wherein any answer is going to piss someone off. At this point she's expressing her opinion and I have no problem with that even though I don't agree with it. Thanks Carrie. Good night. Here's your crown. Congratulations. Have a good life.
If one wanted to be catty... one might ask whether she, not yet having tasted marriage, feels her view of marriage is vindicated by the case her own evangelical Christian parents, who got divorced with considerable acrimony, but that isn't really fair either.
Perez Hilton could have done better than to give the frothing Right a new avenue of attack in their stupid sick culture war by his reaction. However.... if she HAD expressed the opposite opinion, right now the Right would be calling her a whore and moaning in disgust at her topless pics, yadda yadda yadda. There would be no "he's expressing her opinion and I have no problem with that even though I don't agree" either.
And certainly no "hey... get a grip, she's just a model."
Prejean said some insipid things about Biblical principles ..etc, but that's her upbringing, and again she has the right.
Getting into bed with the National Organization for Marriage, though.... well they're in trouble, or have been in trouble, with the IRS. And in an industry such as modeling - not noted for it's absence of influential gay people - is she doing herself any favors there?
There again FOX news is apparently talking about giving her a trial, once again displaying the real depth of its "journalism".
good grief...
