Miss California Official Goes After Intolerance By Name

Miss California USA co-directors Keith Lewis and Shanna Moakler spoke to the press less than an hour ago regarding Carrie Prejean‘s contract with the organzation and how she was seduced into violating it by NOM.

Lewis ranted about NOM President Maggie Gallagher‘s use of Prejean in an advertisement that probably violated Prejean’s contract with the organization and her use of a woman who was unprepared for the firestorm that would result from her collaboration with NOM — and then he called out Gallagher’s use of Prejean’s image (and copyrighted footage from Miss California USA and Miss USA) to raise money for an organization that spends 42 percent of its budget paying Gallagher’s salary. The whole thing was sort of awesome, but the best bit is above left.
