So I’m surfing the web while waiting for my toenail polish to dry, and there’s more on Carrie Prejean, who Republican America saw as the next Anita Bryant.

I think it was unfair to put her on the spot with a loaded political question while she was competing in a beauty pageant. Honestly, if there’s ever a time to lob a softball, that’s it.

Question–‘Carrie, would you like to see a better world for the next generation of children?’
Answer–‘Yes, my whole purpose in life is world peace and perfect harmony.’

Think of how much simpler it would have been. It’s sort of fun to watch the religious right scramble to explain why Christian womanhood is compatible with making sex-education tapes starring oneself, but the whole thing is kind of mean.

Carrie Prejean is a courtesan. She cultivates beauty and tries to charm. Seeing opportunity, she signed on to a role as spokeswoman for conservative morality, but now her contradictions are tripping her up. The build up and the tear down both seem cruel to me. She doesn’t seem to have much integrity, but a courtesan’s first obligation is to herself. She might take a look at another blond, Ann Coulter. Ann is aging out of the Republican babe niche, and with the right coaching Carrie might be able to fill her place.
