Miss California Opens Mouth, Exhales Inanity

Prejean said she was calling in to promote traditional marriage, but when Van Susteren asked her about civil unions she said, as transcribed by U.S. News and World Report:

You know what, Greta? I don’t have the answers to everything. I’m not running for political office. I don’t have the answers to everything, you know, in the world out there.

But I think that there should be rights for people, you know, especially in California. I think that people that are homosexual should have some rights, you know, hospital rights, and things like that.

Rights for hospitals and things like that – generous! Then, when Van Susteren proceeded to ask Prejean about gay adoption, the beauty queen seemed to think the anchor was trying trick her and scolded:

Greta, I am focusing on marriage right now, not adoption, not civil unions, just traditional marriage, and I’m going to do whatever it takes to promote that.

At the press conference earlier in the day (clip below, via Pandagon) Prejean didn’t fare much better. She explained that she is passionate about her cause because “marriage is good” and “unless we bring men and women together children will not have mothers and fathers.” Then, during the question and answer segment of her press conference, following a reporter’s question as to whether Prejean will be going into politics she laughed and said, “I think that is a silly question.” AT this point, we’re just relieved that Prejean finds the idea of her starting a political career is as silly as we do.
