The Miss California Verdict, Plus Views on Other News of the Day

It's official: The Donald Trump announced today that Carrie Prejean, a.k.a. Miss California, can keep her title. Personally, I don't think her conservative views on the gay marriage issue have anything to do with why Prejean was almost decrowned. Furthermore, I don't think the "liberal media" is "out to get her." (I think she destroyed her credibility by making this claim during her press conference, which was held after the decision was made.) As has been mentioned numerous times, our left-leaning, Democratic president shares her opinion on gay marriage. Sure, celeb blogger Perez Hilton might be having a field day with Prejean, but he's just one person. I disagree with both Prejean and the president on gay marriage, but this is America-- and everyone has the right to express his or her opinion. No, I think the scandal has more to do with the fact that Prejean lied about some risque photos on her pageant application and got breast implants that were paid for by the Miss California USA organization. Speaking of the prez, coverage of the Miss California debacle was preempted by coverage of his decisions and negotiations with Congress in regards to his healthcare policies. It's good to know that this country's news organizations have their priorities straight!
