"The way that I answered might have been offensive ... but for me, it was being Biblically correct"
Miss Cali Claims She Was "Biblically Correct"

Posted Apr 21st 2009 9:00AM by TMZ Staff

Sure, she alienated the gay and lesbian audience and probably lost the crown by saying "Marriage should only be between a man and a woman," but Miss USA loser Carrie Prejean has no regrets.



Matt Lauer gave Carrie a second chance to answer the controversial question this morning on "Today." Her answer: "The way that I answered might have been offensive ... but for me, it was being Biblically correct."

6. The Bible blesses polygamy and marrying cousins, too.
Edited on Tue Apr-21-09 08:24 AM by TexasObserver
It also condemns eating shrimp, pork or associating with menstruating women.

2. Hmm, does she think it was "Bibilically correct" to parade around half naked
in front of a bunch of men? :rofl:

10. Oh, but my dear CTyankee, THAT's not about sex, really, really it isn't. It is only about the
ILLUSION of sex.

Men are sooooooo naive about these things.

16. If I were a man, I don't think she would be my sex partner.
Am I the only one that saw her "perfect" looks as downright boring? Bleached hair and bleached teeth and vapid. :shrug:

20. Pardon my error! Re "perfect" looks, I just ordered a copy of Susie Orbach's book Bodies.
More on this subject later.

The amount of time and effort that goes into "the look" quite possibly renders many people quite simple-minded, ergo, preferred sex partners for some.

3. Our politicians use the same excuse in not supporting equal marriage rights.

They just dress it up in *slightly* prettier words.

7. Crimeny, what a hypocrite!
"I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling; also that women should adorn themselves modestly and sensibly in seemly apparel, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly attire but by good deeds, as befits women who profess religion. Let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness. I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet woman will be saved through bearing children, if she continues in faith and love and holiness, with modesty." -- 1 Timothy 2:8-15.

You can't get any more Biblical than this.

Is she showing us how to fellate?

The topic of the day, to swallow or not to swallow..., and how that shows that gay marriage is anti-bible.

9. I'm SURE she's not a hypocrite too
Since she's so big on being biblicly correct. I'm sure she doesn't eat lobster or pork of anykind. i'm sure that shirt isn't some sort of blend and she's not mixing types of fibers. Of course she mever curses, or has touched a football. Also she keeps the Sabbath day holy i'm sure....

....and when her towels got all mildewy in the shower she took them to a priest right?

29. She just told me what is and isn't correct but the bible says thats bad
A WOMEN! I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man. She must be quiet. If she followed her bible she wouldn't tell people how to follow the bible.

25. No kidding. She has found a professional niche
She will be a lifelong employee of Fox News. She will do something easy like reading the news from a teleprompter, or co-hosting the early morning Fox and Fiends.

13. She DOES have a right to her own opinion...
and now she is learning that it is
not one that is accepted by EVERYONE.

In fact, it's pretty laughable and
indefensible.

I'm GLAD that she put it out there,
it exposes the brain-washing.

I think it's funny that she thinks
individuals have the RIGHT to CHOOSE,
when same sex marriage is neither recognized
in most states nor protected by
federal laws.

17. The interesting thing is
once you strip away the bimbo-speak part of it, it's pretty much the same thing that President Obama said last year during the campaign, and I haven't seen him back off of it. I'm much more interested in his true opinion about the subject, rather than some anorexic fundie whose title really won't bring world peace.

15. She's going to make far more money this way
than if she had won the goofy contest. She'll be the spokesbabe for the fundies, sort of Sarah Palin from 25 years ago.

That's her angle. Now, as for this "Perez Hilton" character with the made-up name, I had never heard of him before this incident. Clearly, he was using the opportunity to judge a Miss "Be an Anorexic Like Me" pageant to remedy that situation with a lot of people. I'm sure it didn't take him more than a few hours of Internet research to find one fundie bimbo among fifty who would show up, and give him an answer to a question that a beauty pageant winner has zero influence on in the first place. Looks like he's getting his fifteen minutes, too.

And above the whole thing is the laughing figure of Donald Trump. He pulled a publicity stunt a few years ago where he got to look magnanimous with Tara Conner, when she was found to have been less than Barbie-pure. More than being either a developer or capitalist, he's a showman first and foremost. He knows that thinking people have been paying less and less attention to these meat parades, and he's drummed up some phony interest in this one.

We're all being played by each of these three, the best thing to do is let them slip back into the obscurity from whence they came.

21. Minority report here:

I don't like or agree with her answer. BUT, to hypocritically give a more PC answer would have been appalling. Is that what we want?

22. The GOP will make her a spokesmodel. Her career is sealed
Edited on Tue Apr-21-09 09:02 AM by WeDidIt
She'll get gigs on CBN and other Christian broadcasting.

She has a long, lucrative career. There's money to be made in suppressing human rights with religious arguments.

26. i think that everyone (even those wrong) have a right to her own opinions
however, i think she lost the contest not due to what she said, but it was how she said it. she did not come across as very intelligent in her thoughts.

rw pundits will say she lost because of what she said, but i submit it was to how she said it.
