Gay Marriage debates on cable news is the apparently the new hot thing! I guess it's a good thing, but when you get the likes of Stephen Baldwin, an Ex-Miss California and the always hateful Maggie Gallagher to have the debate it seems more like a side-show! Though it is fun to watch…
Baldwin's views can be summarized as "It's a sin, I'm being persecuted!" and Gallagher is whining about how the awful gays attack anyone who is against their rights (shocking, right?). Surprisingly, the Ex-Miss California came off as the reasonable and intelligent one throughout the segment.
Now if we could just get Perez Hilton screaming "Bitch!" and Carrie Prejean flashing her fake boobs, then we'd really have a show!

omg, more cnn fail.
“Surprisingly”? WTF? Are you saying you expected her to be a dumb blonde or some other stereotype just because she is a beauty queen?
Actually, she IS a dumb blonde if she’s unable to critically examine her upbringing and think independently. Then again, most Americans are stupid in that way. Before you attack me for that statement, take the three seconds to ask WHY it offends you. Before you tell me that if I don’t like it, I should move, let me remind you of something a great man named Socrates once said: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” So, I reiterate my point: if you cannot or will not continually reexamine your perspective and beliefs, then you are an idiot.
Um. I think you might have missed the point on two fronts, Alaras.
First of all, the ex-Miss California discussed here is NOT the current one who has been criticizing gay marriage. This one is a well-spoken and thoughtful pastor who SUPPORTS gay marriage.( As does the former Miss USA whom Andy neglected to even mention.)( Though they did both support Prejean for speaking her mind in the pageant, as do I.)
Second, what I object to is not a criticism of a person based on observation of his/her behaviors. Dumb people exist, and so do blond(e) people, and sometimes the groups overlap. But it is offensive to ASSUME that beauty queens in general are automatically unintelligent, which is what Andy implied when he said it was surprising that she came of as the most intelligent. What the hell?
She is not only a dumb blond, but she is a person who has no moral values. Posing simi nude at the age of 17 to become a Victoria Secret model. What Christian would not do the same. And then she cries that the media is after her because of her comments. Get a life bitch. Ask Miss America, Venessa Williams. She tried to play the black card when she got busted, but fortunately, she had talent and she is doing well. The little blonde dumb ass bitch is trying to hide behind religion and moral values. She is a slut. 17 and posing nude. Why is she not giving them the name of the person who took the photos so they can be arrested for child pornography. I guess she feels that would be wrong, because she was persuing a modeling job as a Victoria Secret Model. A dream that all you girls aspire. What slut.
Andy( comment Andy, not blog Andy): THIS PARTICULAR ARTICLE IS NOT ABOUT CARRIE PREJEAN. It is about people talking ABOUT Prejean. Prejean is blonde and quite possibly stupid. THE PEOPLE IN THIS VIDEO ARE NOT HER. The beauty queens in this video are intelligent, thoughtful gay marriage SUPPORTERS. I resent the stereotype being applied to THEM, I was not commenting on what has been said about Prejean.
