Carrie Prejean's Disappearing Book Tour
TownHall ^ | 11/14/09 | JillianBandes

Posted on 11/15/2009 8:43:24 AM PST by Mozilla

Carrie Prejean has canceled public appearances designed to promote her new book after two major developments in the conservative starlet’s public image.

First, it was reported that a controversial video tape of Prejean had surfaced during settlement negotiations with her former Miss America pageant bosses. Prejean was 17 when she made the tape, which she said was meant for her boyfriend’s eyes only.

TMZ, the media outlet that had obtained the tape, said they did not publish it on their website because it was “so racy.” Because of it, they claimed, Prejean received nothing from her back-and-forth lawsuits with Miss America and was riddled with paying her own lawyers’ bills.

More recently, Prejean threatened to walk off the set of Larry King’s nightly news show when King asked her repeated questions about her confidential settlement with Miss America Pageant officials, and then patched in a call to her from a listener. Prejean called the questioning “inappropriate,” took her mike off, and after about a minute of on-air silence, King broke for a commercial.

Critics immediately used the developments as reasons why Prejean was unqualified to speak about her opinions on gay marriage.

“Prejean -- Family Doesn't Always Come First,” read a TMZ headline. Since then, Prejean cancelled her keynote speech at the New Jersey Family Policy Council’s Defenders of the Family fundraiser, an appearance at an invitation-only event at the National Republican Club of Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., and numerous other radio segments.

Maybe I’m old fashioned, but when I hear “fake boobs” and “masturbation videos” I think of liberals.

Carrie may be a Christain but she’s certainly not a lady.

Carrie, the Queen of Them All

(with a tip of the hat to Johnny Mercer)

There’s a burlesque theatre where the gang loves to go
To see Queenie the cutie of the burlesque show
And the thrill of the evening is when out Queenie skips
And the band plays the polka while she strips

“Take it off,” “Take it off” Cries a voice from the rear
“Take it off,” Take it off” Soon it’s all you can hear
But she’s always a lady even in pantomime
So she stops! And always just in time

She’s as fresh and as wholesome as the flowers in May
And she hopes to retire to the farm someday
But you can’t buy a farm until you’re up in the chips
So the band plays the polka while she strips

“Take it off,” “Take it off” all the customers shout,
“Down in front” “Down in front” while the band beats it out
But she’s always a lady even in pantomime
So she stops! And always just in time

Queenie, Queen of them all
Queenie, someday you’ll fall
Someday church bells will chime
In strip polka time

Oh! She hates corny waltzes and she hates the gavotte
And there’s one big advantage if the music’s hot
It’s a fast moving exit just in case something rips
So the band plays the polka while she strips

Drop around, take it in, it’s the best in the west
“Take it off,” “Take it off” yell like the rest
Take her out when it’s over, she’s a peach when she’s dressed
But she stops! And always just in time

Queenie, Queen of them all
Queenie, someday you’ll fall
Someday the church bells will chime, the ol’ church bells will chime
In strip polka time

the poster you are referring to and other here for the most part are known social moderates or social liberals

many are also race baiters and south bashers

which doesn’t suprise me to be honest

they are taking Prejan’s private behavior and using it as a weapon to attack Christianity

some are Jewish who’
ve drank too much Tikkun Olam elixir (the Jewish equivakent of Christian kumbaya)(most Jewish freepers do not do this and like Levin are good as grits) but some do...them and atheists for the most part

i just call it as I see it here for 10 years and ain’t scared tobe candid about it

the rest of the Prejan bashers are pillow biting church ladies....this is a pick yer poiuson moment here.

not saying Prejan is a saint but she has been crucified enough for giving an honest answer to what most of us believe.

The joy that they take in the personal destruction and humiliation of Carrie Prejean is disturbing.

It smacks of dark emotional issues and petty jealousy.

Are breast implants sin?

Is vanity?

And she got the implants to better her chances in a beauty pageant. Not exactly a noble, Christian act.

Aside: Tattoos are unfavorable, if one lends any credence to the OT.

I love you guys, but don't see why you keep defending this bubble headed young lady.

She claimed she objected to homosexuality because of her "christian faith" and then is proven to have not exactly lived up to the standards of said faith. This is an insult to TRUE Christians who "walk the walk" and who are taught from the beginning that as a Christian you lead by EXAMPLE, NOT words!

Yes, we are all fallible and susceptible to temptation. Nevertheless, I seem to remember a certain gentleman talking about the splinter in your own eye when noticing the splinter in your brother's. Ms. Prejean should have known this.

I may have left the faith several years back, but it still irks me how folks feel free to lambaste others for their sins, without accounting for their own, especially when they are seen as spokesmen for the faith. It irks me even more when otherwise sensible people continue to drink the kool-aid and circle the wagons around somebody who needs, at best, some support and guidance, rather than defense when, it is found that they, like the Emperor, have no clothes.

Oh please! I don't feel sorry for her either.

She made about 4 of those tapes that we know of. So she'd have been stripped of her crown had she won.

It is what it is.

I have read and enjoyed many of your posts in the past. I think that most of the people taking umbrage with the criticism are upset with the unfairness of the attacks on her rather than defending her actions. Nobody has seen the video. I am not willing to believe what some scummy ex-boyfriend, the lowlifes at TMZ, or the queers at the Miss America pageant say is on the video. I am guessing that it is far less graphic than what many here have claimed.

During the pageant she did not object to queer marriage based upon her “Christian faith”. She said that she was raised to believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Typical in 99% of the homes in America. Her Christianity became an issue later in order to attack her. According to those who attack her, if you have committed sins in the past, you are a hypocrite and can never be considered a true Christian. Was not Mary Magdalene a prostitute. Was not St. Matthew a tax collector (much worse in my book)? Was not St. Paul a murderer?

The Bible verse is Matthew 7:5 “Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.” It fits perfectly with this situation. She may have made mistakes, but look at yourself and your own errors in judgment. Words that many on this thread should think about.

Thanks for the ping.

Every Christian has his day to make a stand. We have to think about what our answer will be before it's in front of us.

When it was Carrie's turn, she spoke from her foundation. That's more than the band of scalywags around here would do. I hope she stands strong.

California Christians are a different breed from Fundamentalists.

While I am backslidden, I would be appalled to try and tell someone what I thought was Christian about myself while living in or doing things.

Carrie may have turned her life around. I dunno. However, to get implants for modeling, she was raised to think it was okay. Signs of the times.

Mosttelling point I guess, she was raised to believe it was just simple vanity, while th older generations were raised to believe it was more than just vanity andjudge women as to why they get it, not because of Mastectomies, but to become more wealthy strippers? Porn actresses?

Now, it is just a resume booster for models?

and she thought nothing of it as a professing Christian? And unashamedly went public with that info??

Clemenza I don’t think nude pics for yer boyfriend is equivocal to homosexual marriage.

The notion that Christians must be pure to have an opinion on homo marriage makes it impossible for Christians to do so by default.

I oppose homo marriage because I am a traditionalist of western culture...Christianity is only a part of that.

And I think anal sex between men and fisting and so forth are perversions...and hardly rise to marriage vows.

I have taken sexy pics of many women I have known who have granted me such favor, I don’t think that precludes me from criticizing faggotry...or any other social matter.

How about helping her out, buy her book. She has shown determination to stand for the right thing even after all they crap the left wing has thrown at her.

How many Reps and Congressman can we say that about, a very few.

Wow... I'm so glad I don't you. I doubt I could live up to your very tough standards.

Have a great day.
