Miss RI: Miss California Being Attacked for Stance for Traditional Marriage

It looks like Miss California Carrie Prejean's title is in jeopardy, as Miss California officials appointed first alternate Tami Farrell to attend all events on May 11 and Donald Trump set to announce the fate of Prejean Tuesday, May 12. The ostensible reason is the emergence of revealing pictures of her. But the publication of those photos was a clear attempt to smear Miss California for her defense of traditional marriage at the Miss USA competition in April.

After weeks of controversy, CBS' "The Early Show" finally interviewed a guest on May 11 that defended Prejean and provided another view point.

Miss USA is co-owned by Donald Trump. NBC Universal owns part of the pageant as well. If you're going to send letters to Trump, send them to NBC as well.

This could be one of those stories that sticks in people’s minds. The most unlikely sources can lead to a domino effect come the next election.

She was asked a question that involved both religion and politics, and then the idiot who asked the question claimed that she should have left religion and politics out of her answer. How?
