Carrie Prejean Sued by Christian PR Firm
By David Gibson - Politics DailyA Christian public relations firm is suing former Miss California Carrie Prejean, claiming she owes it money for helping her navigate the controversy set off by her public statements on gay marriage. Prejean shot to Christian stardom last year when she told Miss USA Pageant judge (and blogger and gay activist) Perez Hilton that she was against gay marriage on the basis of her religious beliefs. Her testimony on a national television broadcast made her an instant heroine to Christian conservatives -- who claimed she ran second in the pageant because of her views on traditional marriage -- ...
2009's Top 10 Scandals
By Steve Pendlebury - AOL News(Dec. 28) -- Corrupt politicians, cheaters, hypocrites, creeps, con artists and publicity hounds. That reads like any other year's roster of people behaving badly. A beauty pageant, a state dinner, the Appalachian Trail, a golf club, a funny-looking balloon -- plus a bunch of kids. All of that sounds downright wholesome. Mix them together, stir in too much reality TV and a couple of sex tapes, and you get the uniquely spicy concoction that is the 2009 edition of the year's biggest scandals. ...
Bird Brains Compete for 'Turkey of the Year'
By Buck Wolf - AOL NewsJust how did the turkey -- a bird native to North America -- become synonymous with thoughtless, annoying people, so often overstuffed with jive? Let's face it, some of our nominees for 2009 Turkey of the Year wouldn't be welcome at any Thanksgiving dinner. So, with no further ado, let's look at some of the year's most fowl personalities. AP Roguishly Raw: That ring you hear when your 15 minutes of fame are up must be a call from someone asking you to pose nude. Levi Johnston's offer came from Playgirl, and he promised the pictorial would be "tasteful." We now know that Johnston's ...
Lou Dobbs Bids CNN Adios
By Steve Pendlebury - AOL News(Nov. 12) -- Lou Dobbs, the last of CNN's original anchors, abruptly announced in the middle of his show Wednesday that he's quitting the network. "Over the past six months, it's become increasingly clear that strong winds of change have begun buffeting this country and affecting all of us. And some leaders in media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond the role here at CNN and to engage in constructive problem-solving," Dobbs said in a statement that gave no indication of where he'll go next but had the ring of a political campaign to it. Embedded video from CNN Video ...
Carrie Prejean Clinches Book Deal: Why She Talked To Perez Hilton
By Lynn Sweet - Politics DailyCarrie Prejean -- the defrocked former Miss California -- is going to write a book for Regnery, the conservative publishing house, promising to "tell her side of the story." Regnery Publishing announced the deal -- sorry, no info about an advance -- on Monday afternoon. In its release, Regnery said: "Prejean attracted national attention when she answered a question at the Miss USA Pageant defending traditional marriage. The unprecedented personal attacks that ensued eventually culminated in Prejean being stripped of her Miss California crown. But the 22-year-old won the respect of millions ...
The Carrie Prejean Papers
By Lynn Sweet - Politics DailyMost of the time, I look for stories. Sometimes a story finds me. On Monday afternoon, I was in the make-up room at FOX News. I was booked on a segment about Rod Blagojevich, the impeached Illinois governor, who has been sued over an alleged deal for race tracks in exchange for campaign cash. He is also awaiting trial on federal corruption charges. ...
David Axelrod Implies That Miss California Carrie Prejean is a Dog
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyIn an appearance on NPR's "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me," Senior White House adviser David Axelrod put his foot so deep in his mouth that he needs a laxative to dislodge it. In a moment of banter about naming President Obama's dog, Axelrod let loose an ill-advised ad-lib:Although the audience (disappointingly) ate it up, I have a problem with this on several levels.First, and least, Axelrod's joke doesn't make any sense. Love her or hate her, Carrie Prejean is, objectively, not a dog. More important, and obvious, is the fact that a member of the White House staff (or anyone else) should not be ...
Miss California Retains Crown Despite Newer, Hotter Photos
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyOur long national nightmare is over. After days of nerve-jangling uncertainty, California's parades and county fairs can breathe a little easier, step a little lighter. Despite another attack by TMZ and TheDirty.com, and a raft of new pictures that definitely earn an R rating, Miss California Carrie Prejean will remain Miss California for the duration of her term:Miss California USA can retain her crown even though she failed to reveal she had posed in her underwear as a teenager, pageant owner Donald Trump said Tuesday. Carrie Prejean appeared by Trump's side as he made the announcement at ...
Jake Tapper Compares President Obama With Miss California
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyMan, I am rolling my eyes here, because nobody is going to be happy with me on this one.Unless you live in a cave, without cable, you know about the brouhaha surrounding Miss California Carrie Prejean. Unfairly excoriated for voicing an unfairly solicited opinion at the Miss USA pageant, she went on to join the anti-gay marriage group NOM. In doing so, she went from being a person who disagreed with gay marriage but viewed it as a choice that people should be free to make, to someone who seeks to deny the rights of others to marry.In the ensuing melee, Miss California's initial position has ...
Miss California's Gay Education: All Men With Mustaches Are Gay
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyWhich is totally not true. Some of them are just sissies who still like chicks.TMZ is digging deep dish dirt on Miss California Carrie Prejean, and they've uncovered a bunch of gay venom in her parents' divorce:In one of the docs, Carrie's dad describes a confrontation he had with her mom in 1996, in which he recounts an argument in a restaurant parking lot, where "Ms. Prejean accused me, in front of our daughter, of homosexuality." The papers also quote a court-appointed doctor who said "The mother questioned [within hearing of the girls] whether [her father] was a homosexual or had a ...
