    In reply to Prejean: "If I'm A Bigot So Is Obama"; Don And Betty's Future Revealed
    You know, as much as I dislike admitting it, Prejean kind of has a point in regards to Obama: irrespective of what we may think he may privately believe, he hasn't actually publicly supported gay marriage. And not doing so for political gain is a veeery cynical move, and say what you will about Prejean, but I personally don't think that she has the capacity for such cynicism.

    This is not to 'endorse' her or 'attack' Obama or whatever (and I actually can't even believe I have to state this as a disclaimer), but a runner-up beauty queen doesn't really have the same power or influence as the POTUS, and that's a very crucial point to make.

    (I kind of totes believe her on the Trump thing, tho. That man is a creeper, through and through!) #carrieprejean

    "legally recognized sacrament"

    see, when you put it this way it just sounds plain ol' unconstitutional. #carrieprejean

    I don't even understand marriage's place in the Constitution anyway, if there is to be no establishment of religion.

    I am of the idea that the government shouldn't really get involved in marriage AT ALL...other than a marriage certificate being considered as legal proof for hospital visitation and the like. CIVIL UNIONS, from gay and straight couples, should be legally recognized. Marriage? That should be up to whatever church or organization marries you. If, say, civil unions were legal for anyone, but the Catholic church decided not to marry gays, fine. They can be a private institution. But the government has to marry anybody...which then gets into polygamy, which is insane and all, but I'm of the opinion that consenting adults can do whatever they want as long as it doesn't harm anybody else. *whew*

    I want to hurt everyone who somehow thinks "marriage" is only a sacrament. Sorry, assholes, if you don't want gays getting married in your Church, great. Why the fuck don't they come out against heteros married by judges or other non-religious officials?

    Am I missing something? Why exactly can they still claim "marriage" as something that belongs to them, exclusively?

    @Ulookinatmyjunk, JOC: Seconded. She's as boring and stupid as every other cretin who makes themselves famous by being pretty (or plastic...Speidi?) on the outside, REALLY stupid on the inside, but all I can think when I see her (or Sarah Palin) is, "Fuck off, little girl. Go away, go away, go away." #carrieprejean

    "I believed then and I believe now that marriage should be a legally recognized sacrament between a man and a woman. If that makes me a bigot, so is Barack Obama."

    whoa whoa whoa, miss prejean back the truck up. legally recognized sacrament? sacrament = church, legal = state. never the twain shall meet. theres that pesky little thing called the first amendment of the us constitution.

    although i agree with the second part of her statement (i cant believe i just wrote that). obama has a virtually identical position on gay marriage. just because he doesn't sound the moral panic alarm or scream at the hysterical pitch of miss prejean, he has no intention of repealing doma in the near future and has defended marriage as an exclusively heterosexual institution. its not so simple as a red state/blue state division. there are plenty of anti-gay rights democrats. #carrieprejean

    @mordicai: Also, marriage is only a sacrament for Catholics and Orthodox Christians. Perhaps Prejean is Catholic, but she has been speaking at mainly fundamentalist Christian churches. It would be really disappointing if, in addition to being being bigoted, she was basing her beliefs on mistaken interpretation of Church doctrine. #carrieprejean

    @KATE!: Thanks for saying this. She might be much stupider than Obama, but they do have pretty much the same stance on gay marriage and of the two of them, he's the one who actually has the power to make some changes. So, you know, all the outrage at her saying they have the same position is kind of ridick. #carrieprejean

    @mfnher: You're using the fictional raping of a young girl as political fun? That's fucked up. Rape isn't generic violence like drunk driving or murder. It's gender violence, overwhelmingly misogynistic.

    There are a slew of ways to go after Glen Beck without pushing the tired idea that it's fine to push misogynistic violence as entertainment or to score cheap points. It just trivializes it. #carrieprejean

    @curiousgeorgiana: By her logic, you can call her a bigot as long as you acknowledge that he is too.

    Basically, she's calling progressives out for giving him a pass, even as they hate her for having the same belief about what the legal definition of marriage should be.

    I was agreeing with wtfox?! that she can't deflect her own bigotry just by saying the president agrees with her. That just means they're both bigots. #carrieprejean

    Why do they say she has a 'Flemish face'? She's Dutch. People often say Flemish, when they refer to someone having a face like a Vermeer painting (Girl with the pear earring), but he was Dutch too. #larastone

    "Hence why you'll never read about the night Charlize Theron's mom shot and killed her dad while 15-year-old Charlize watched in a women's magazine."

    Um, that's not true - we highlighted that aspect of her history in a Charlize cover-story/interview in UK Cosmo 8 or 9 years ago. The reason it doesn't get mentioned now is that everyone knows about it at this point, and I'm sure Charlize herself doesn't want this episode to be endlessly repeated - there is more to her than just this horrible chapter in her life.

    Besides this minor slip-up, good job at explaining the whole celeb law of diminishing returns. So true.
