Miss California
Some of us have gushed over Miss California's statement on American family values and have repelled at any criticism of her and her supposed virtues. As it turns out she is a not so virtuous a spokeswoman some on the right had yearned for. In reality she has been exposed for modeling for pornographic photos and has had a documented enlargement of a part of her female anatomy. Any comments about her now? Her situation does recall the Biblical pronouncement of "whoever is without sin let them cast the first stone."

1 Cor 13:4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.

James, are you saying Miss California is without love and charity or those who think what she was portraying on stage which was indecent are loveless and without charity? She defended her answer by claiming faith, though not really mentioning faith in what. My point is that she used "faith" to cover a difficult situation, but did not use "faith" to defend her decision to expose herself to millions of people which she must have been most comfortable doing.

MSNBC's David Shuster said he wanted to "vomit" after the conclusion of Donald Trump's announcement that Miss California USA, Carrie Prejean, will keep her title. Shuster said the decision represents "everything that is wrong with the superficial nature" of pageants. "Donald Trump seemed to be saying lying is okay," he added.

California beauty queen shocked by firing
Carrie Prejean: 'They wanted me out and they got what they wanted'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ousted Miss California Carrie Prejean says she's "shocked" by her firing yesterday by the officials of the Miss California USA Pageant.
"They don't like me," Prejean told the entertainment website TMZ. "From day one they wanted me out and they got what they wanted."
K2 Productions, the producers of the pageant under license from Miss Universe, cited continued breach of contract issues as the reason for Prejean's dismissal.
"This was a decision based solely on contract violations," said Keith Lewis, executive director of K2. "After our press conference in New York we had hoped we would be able to forge a better working relationship. However, since that time it has become abundantly clear that Carrie has no desire to fulfill her obligations under our contract and work together."
Donald Trump, owner of the pageant, said he fired the Miss USA runner-up not for her stance against same-sex marriage, but for failing to make required appearances, as well as unauthorized attendance at other events.
"I told Carrie she needed to get back to work and honor her contract with the Miss California USA Organization and I gave her the opportunity to do so," Trump said. "Unfortunately it just doesn't look like it is going to happen."
"I am in shock," said Prejean's attorney Chuck Limandri on the Big Hollywood blog.
"The claim that she has an unauthorized book contract is false. She does not. The claim that she is refusing to appear is false. Carrie has been in constant contact with pageant officials seeking to fulfill her obligations. I have e-mails in my possession tied to the pageant organization as recently as last Friday citing future appearance requests for Carrie. She represented the Pageant in Las Vegas the weekend before last, and is scheduled to appear at a Special Olympics event this weekend in California, a cause dear to her heart. Everyone has been pleased with her appearances and excited to see her."
He also says it was a radio host, not anyone affiliated with the pageant, who informed Prejean she had been axed.
"What kind of employer alerts the media before they speak to their employee?" he stated.
Prejean told TMZ, "What's behind this I think is a political debate. They don't agree with the stance that I took [on California's anti-homosexual marriage Proposition 8].
She also says Lewis told her Playboy offered $140,000 for her to pose semi-nude. She rejected the offer.
As WND previously reported, Prejean became a lightning rod for controversy affirming on air that "marriage should be between a man and a woman." She claimed her state sponsors urged her afterwards to apologize for the statement and keep quiet about her Christian faith.
"'You need to apologize to the gay community. You need to not talk about your faith," Prejean recalled being instructed. "This has everything to do with you representing California and saving the brand.'"
Prejean, however, defended her statement by alluding to California's Proposition 8 ballot initiative, in which the state's voters added language to the California Constitution defining marriage as only between one man and one woman.
"I was representing California," Prejean declared. "I was representing the majority of people in California."
Lewis also wrote a letter condemning Prejean that echoed what she says she was told following the pageant.
"As co-executive director of Miss CA USA and one of the leaders of the Miss CA family, I am personally saddened and hurt that Miss CA USA 2009 believes marriage rights belong only to a man and a woman," he wrote. "Although I believe all religions should be able to ordain what unions they see fit, I do not believe our government should be able to discriminate against anyone. Religious beliefs have no place in politics in the Miss CA family."
Prejean nonetheless refused to apologize for the answer she gave.
"I don't take back what I said," Prejean told the church, according to a San Diego Union-Tribune report. "No way I wasn't going to stand up for what I believe in."

I still have to agree with those who point out that she's not exactly the paragon of Christian virtue; the very idea of a Christian participating in this glorified flesh market is still incomprehensible. But, at the same time, you have to admire her guts to stand firm on this issue, when very few other people will (including some pastors).

I agree with you. She is not the spokesperson for all Christendom with her past and present being less than upright in the area of flaunting her sexuality. I think the truth will be that she did not honor her contracts. When she was on Fox News right after all the bruhaha, she made it clear she would like to get her own news show. Hmmmmmm. Think she needs to build her audience and Fox will give her one.

It's more like the "Pull the plank out of your own eye, so you can see clearly to pull the speck from your brother's." While being very vocal concerning one particular sexual sin, it seems hypocritical for her to be openly engaged in another sexual sin, namely lust (i.e., participation in what is a glorified meat market). It would be just like me telling my people that adultery is wrong, while I'm shacked up with a woman who is not my wife. If she truly wants to be consistent with the Scriptures teaching about human sexuality, perhaps she should simply renounce that crown on her own, and call the pageant what it is: lust.

That would be called setting up a straw horse. Of course we are all sinful and unclean. But you can comment on the comments of others and her comments after she claims she "lost" the crown were self serving in my opinion. She was embarrassed at what she claimed was a loss. She felt she had to defend her loss. Then to have all those racy photos of her show up afterward leads one to believe she would have been better to find a different answer to her contest question or just ask for another one. She ran to Fox to have them cry tears for her. Remember Fox is in love with America's pastor. (RW) They will side with anyone who remotely claims Christian faith. Just not buying her story. Sorry.
