Carrie Prejean releases full -- and hopefully final -- statement
Carrie Prejean has released a . . . wait for it . . . rather windy statement about being fired from her job as Miss California.
Listen up. It may be the last time she gets all of your attention.
"Let me begin by saying I treasure the opportunity I've had to represent the great state of California, and I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the thousands of Californians, and other Americans, I have met and who have stood with me through this controversial firestorm. One of the many enduring things about being Miss California USA was the opportunity to get to meet and know so many wonderful people. I would not be the strong, courageous woman I am today without your support, and prayers.
"I would like to thank Mr. Donald Trump and his organization for his support and defending me through the most challenging time of my life. I am so grateful for him, and the opportunity I've had to get to know him. I admire and respect him. I wish Tami Farrell the best; I know she will do a great job.
"I hope Americans watching this story unfold take away the most important lesson I have learned through all of this: Nothing is more important than standing up for what you believe in, no matter what the cost may be. I've done my best under the difficult circumstances to handle the vicious attacks with integrity and show respect to others, even those who don't agree with me."
Hang on. There's more. . . .
"I worked in good faith to meet my responsibilities as Miss California USA. I have met every scheduled appearance, and responsibility, as recently as May 31. I have followed the proper protocol requested of me and haven't made any appearances or speaking engagements without the consent or approval from the Miss California USA or Miss Universe Organizations. I have not signed with any book publisher or taken on any business proposals. As of today, June 11, 2009, I have done everything possible to honor my contract.
"I am proud to be an American, and blessed to have had the opportunity to exercise my freedom of speech. I am excited and looking forward to where God leads me in the future. I know He has big plans for me. I am proud to be the strong woman God has molded me to be. I will always stand for the truth, respectfully, and never back down.
"Thank you and God Bless,
"Carrie Prejean"
Whew!

Just do porn famewhore! adios amiga!
She really thinks highly of herself, doesn't she? Get off your high horse Carrie Prejean. You aren't that special, either. Let's hope her 15 minutes of fame is up now.
Yeah, Phew - just be quiet, woman. You are there to be ogled at like a piece of meat - we don't want you to think or voice your opinion because it's not our opinion and we are right. How dare you challenge our omniscience! How dare you suggest a man cannot marry another man or a dog or a shoe. We want the word "marriage" and we want to water down what it means so we can purge our deep self loathing. We are the thought police and you will obey our laws!
I'll never side with homosexuals against women at all.
Hey Carrie -- Give back the fake tittie bags!
What a classy young woman! I am sure we will be hearing more from her! God bless her and what she stands for.
I guess that this makes beauty contests part of the anti-christian gay subculture from now on. Pretty disgusting.
She is quite the young lady and role model. I think the more she is targetted by the LLLM(looney leftist liberal Marxists) the better off she will be.
Go girl! An awful lot of us have your back.
Freedom of Speech. God Bless America!!!!!!
I'm glad people want her to be a role model. I sure wouldn't want my little sister to follow her lead and go expose herself in pictures and act like a total diva to her employers, by what fox news released. But hey as long as she is bigoted, it's all that matters right?
Beauty pagents are archaic!
