ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Former vice presidential candidate and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is defending Miss California USA Carrie Prejean with her typical conservative BS. The Baghead Coalition of anti-RNC conservatives didn't give Palin much of a vote of confidence when she finished seventh on a list of future GOP presidential contenders. When Palin went rogue during the McCain campaign, she violated her Republican Party loyalty oath. Disloyalty is considered a mortal sin in the GOP.
Prejean created a stir at last month's Miss USA pageant when she tactlessly said she was raised that marriage should only be between a man and a woman. It was a loaded question, but a proper Miss USA is supposed to be able to handle the tough questions. Prejean showed her evangelical skirt when she answered the question with a thud that showed little imagination. It is always possible, too, that Carrie was raised 'wrong,' but her mother appears to have been recently dating another woman.
The former vice presidential candidate says in a statement, "The liberal onslaught of malicious attacks against Carrie Prejean for expressing her opinion is despicable." That is certainly wrong. The First Amendment gives everybody the right to express their opinion. It also gives the public the right to lampoon a beauty contestant who talks like an ideological parrot.
Questions about her work with gay marriage opponents and semi-nude photos taken of Prejean when she was a teenager had put her title in jeopardy, but pageant owner Donald Trump decided to let Prejean keep her state crown. The Donald lost his cojones with his decision that was not businesslike. “The Donald” is now a corporate eunuch.
Palin says she respects Prejean for staying true to her beliefs and can relate to her "as a liberal target myself." When you run for office with views that are far form the American center, what do you expect, Governor Palin, when you loot department stores form 'coast to coast?'
In addition, Plain was supposed to speak to the annual joint fund raiser for the National Republican Congressional and Senatorial Committees. Last Saturday night Palin was told she would not be allowed to address Republicans. She did show for the dinner, but did not speak.
The reason given for the snub, said a Palin aide, was that NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions was that former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, the fund-raising gala’s keynoter, did not want to be upstaged.
It is tough when you are a conservative martyr. Prejean and Palin appear to be birds of a feather.
