Excellent work, Grasshopper! I came back ‘here’ looking for ‘her’ and found ‘her’. (This will likely only make sense to the sitemaster…it goes to the post but not to the topic per se.)

How evil of the media to hog-tie Carrie and drag her to press conferences and media appearances. How exploitative of them.
And when they captured the head of the National Organization for Marriage and tortured her until she called Carrie the “new face of the marriage movement”, well we should try them with the waterboarding lawyers.

As reported by CBS News:

He (Keith Lewis) also scolded those around Prejean, saying, “Shame, shame for taking this young woman and exploiting her to further your own agenda.”
Prejean has become something of a “poster girl for conservative causes,” Solorzano observes.
But her mother says Prejean is the one being exploited, telling the Web site MomLogic.com Carrie is “being persecuted for speaking her opinion.”

The pageant officials have their share of logs in their eyes, and the media have no problem in equating persecution to exploitation. And if they are going to go there, they might want to report on how Carrie Prejean has become the reverse poster child for gay activism. Is there no exploitation in that?

Lewis, Moakler, etc, are spinning. Right after the pageant, they, along with Hilton, trashed Prejean repeatedly. Conservatives were not exploiting her. They came to her defense because they hated the way she was picked on by these folks for her views. They are being so utterly bogus and insincere in trying to make it out like they care about her and do not want her exploited, yet demand she has to represent California the way they want her to, which is basically agree with their stances on gay marriage. Pure nonsense.
Is it part of the contract for officials of Miss USA to trash their contestants publically and try to humiliate like that?
Is it part of the contract to out her on breast implants and/or possibly release private photos?
Is it part of the contract to rub it in her fact after she lost saying she lost because they did not like her answer but now that they realize the public is against them try to make her to be liar for saying she lost because of her answer?
Those folks there got enough nerves to demand she live up to her end of the contract and not grant interviews without their permission while they have been going out there trashing her.
They turn what is a simple contract and make it into an unconscionable contract. They baited her over and over again and then demand she has no right to be interviewed and defend herself to fend off attacks?
If anyone is guilty of breaching the contract, it would be Moakler, Lewis, etc.
