Kudrow please. I saw David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc stealing day-old bagels out of the Dunkin Donuts dumpster yesterday. Just make the damn movie! It's a hand-UP, not a hand-OUT. #johnmayer

From the article:
"[...]is not giving up on the possibility of a Gilmore movie. "Anything can happen," she insists. "I’m in touch with [Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel]. If there’s a story to tell, then absolutely I think we’re all going to want to tell it. That’s the bottom line.
"If I thought it was definitely not going to happen, I would say, ‘No, it’s definitely not going to happen,’" she adds. "I would do that for you, my friend. But I don’t want to say that. Because I think that the beauty of Gilmore, and the beauty of family relationship shows is, you never really run out of story. You’re going to battle your family until you’re all in the ground. Those things never resolve, doesn’t matter how much therapy you get. Ten years later, there’s still going to be [material] there to mine and to delve into."" #johnmayer

Please go away. I know that probably sounds harsh, but hear me out. I saw your new video on MTV the other day and you know what I thought? I thought, "well, that explains all his public apologies." Yes, it seems less that you are really contrite and more that you are trying to sell a new album.
You know who else has a new album coming out? Rihanna. Yes, the ex-girlfriend who you brutally assaulted. You will be competing against her on the charts. Do you see how that could look badly?
You say that you want to work on yourself, than work on yourself. I mean away from the cameras. Do your soul searching in private. Spend the time in therapy. Travel a bit. Learn to meditate. Devote yourself to a worthy cause. Just step away from the spotlight, please.
If you are worried about your career, you shouldn't be. If there is one thing the public love more than a fallen celebrity, it is a reformed fallen celebrity.
Of course, this all assumes that you are truly remorseful. If you really are giving out public apologies for the sake of your upcoming album, well, feel free to disregard this note.
Sincerely,
Sputnik Sweetheart #johnmayer

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

But of course what Prejean wants is to claim that because she has the same bigotry as Obama she must also have some of his good qualities.
Not so much. #carrieprejean

Prejean is a white woman, with all the entitlements and privileges that skin color brings you in this country. Obama is a black man, and thus has faced institutional racism his whole life. Obama is not a bigot for the same reason reverse racism doesn't exist: To practice true bigotry or racism, you have to have the power of the institution behind you.
Carrie, YOU ARE A BIGOT. Now what are you going to do about it? I suggest stuffwhitepeopledo.blogspot.com as a launching pad to your shiny new life as a former beauty queen who tours the country explaining your own white privilege and how you overcame it just enough to keep your nose, and your votes, out of gay people's love lives. #carrieprejean

While I agree with you in terms of race and privilege, both Prejean and Obama benefit from being straight and heteronormative, in a country, culture, and legal system that favours that. It is very easy to oppose gay marriage, or say that marriage is for 'a man and a woman only,' when you are never going to face the repercussions of this statement.
And given that this particular issue is about the rights of LGBT, I think it is important to not let this important distinction fall by the wayside. #carrieprejean
11/12/09
I didn't mean to overlook this critical distinction; I wanted to point out that Prejean cannot compare herself to someone with whom she has no shared experience, i.e. being black in America. The fallacy of her statement, "If that makes me a bigot, so is Barack Obama" is that it's overly simplistic, ignoring the American context of race and heteronormalcy.
I'm deeply disappointed that Obama hasn't taken more of a stand on gay rights, but ultimately I consider Prejean to be a bigot, not Obama, for the reasons stated here and in my earlier comment. #carrieprejean

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

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*

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

Of course, I kid. It would have been so easy for me to not read it. It was just too tempting! #carrieprejean

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

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

Carrie: "I'm a bigot, but so is the President."
That means that you are still a bigot, Carrie! #carrieprejean

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.
11/10/09
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
