Miss California 1, Perez Hilton 0
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/21/2009 6:22:56 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

How bad a representative does Perez Hilton make for the pro gay-marriage cause? Even the Today show, normally a reliable bastion of political correctness on social issues, seemed more sympathetic to Miss California when both were interviewed this morning. Making his case against Carrie Prejean, Perez proffered a pastiche of personal insult and intellectual incoherence. In contrast, Miss California took the high road, putting personal integrity ahead of temporal achievement.

Hilton was in a hole even before the live interview began. Today ran a clip of Hilton’s comments from yesterday in which he called Prejean a “dumb b—ch.”

When Perez appeared, questioned by Matt Lauer, his answers were an inconsistent jumble. When Lauer asked if “we’re ushering in a new era . . where these contestants are going to be subjectively judged on political and moral and religious beliefs,” Hilton replied “I hope not.”

But just a few minutes later Hilton declared that “Miss USA is not a person that’s politically incorrect.”

So which is it?

I’d love to see miss NC step down or be forced out by a scandal, and then see miss CA ascend to the throne-that little fag would sure have his panties in a bunch.

I'm waiting for the owners of the pageant to weigh in....if ever. This affair certainly has to have a negative effect on the reputation of the show which may be lasting. Whether or not it was a rigged decision is unimportant....it now has the APPEARANCE of that happening. A lot of money is at stake for the owners, organizers and sponsors of the event. What are THEY saying?

I wonder if Trump is still a part owner of this pageant. Wonder what he thinks of this flaming homosexual "judge" who's still running his mouth off and directly affecting the pageant's bottom line.

Politics aside, this flap is not over yet.....always follow the money trail.

I really don't care one way or another as I never watch Miss America, Miss USA, Miss World, Miss Budweiser or Miss Piggy. There's enough to worry about one's own bottom line let alone Trump's or that of anyone else who's involved in the flesh trade.

Hilton is a “friend” of Donald Trump and Trump owns the pagent. He appeared on Trump’s show “Celebrity Apprentice” recently and “judged” a viral blog contest.

He has no relevance. Many professional gay people I know consider him a complete and utter embarrassment.

And thanks, Perez, for giving the Yes on 8 people yet another wonderful soundbite to use if you twits ever bring this up again. You might ask Gavin Newsome how his arrogant comments, used in a Yes on 8 ad, turned many opinions and got many people to vote Yes on 8.

I've never heard of "Perez Hilton" until this flap came up and I just googled him to see who or what he is. Apparently he 'famous' for being famous and a celebrity because he hangs with celebrities. And has some crappy Gay Blog where he outs those in Hollywood -- Jodie Foster, or the MSM like -- Anderson Cooper.

Sooooooooo. Why was he even picked as a judge for the Miss USA 2009 pageant???

Oh and 'Perez Hilton' isn't even his name. It's Mario Armando Lavandeira, Jr.

Miss California won everything in my book. Why was this gay activist even a judge and why did he let his personal feeling get in the way of his job? This right here tells us that Prop 8 was the right thing to do.

Apparently Mr. Hilton doesn’t understand the meaning of the word “politics”. The last election in California shows that Miss California is politically correct, not him.

I was surprised they played Obamah's answers to the question in the interview.

Good for them.

“I was surprised they played Obamah’s answers to the question in the interview.”

I was, too. Think it shows how unpleasant Hilton was that Today went out of its way to show him up.

The ugly, angry, self-loathing left will “get” her. They own colleges, most major employers, most TV stations and newspapers. They won’t forget that a beautiful, kind, tolerant normal person said something the left doesn’t like.

As these things usually do, Ms. California will be so much more famous than if she had actually won the damn thing. If her opinions do not "fit in" with the pageant now, as the Hilton and the producers are saying, it's time for us to just stop watching. I heard that clip over and over yesterday, and it sounded like the audience was cheering when she said what she said, am I wrong? All of a sudden, Hilton said the audience overwhelmingly did not agree with her. Liberals lie because they are NEVER CALLED ON IT.

I think it's time to start writing Trump and the advertisers. Let Trump have a hard time putting this thing on.

By the way, this gal had better not sit down to coffee with this pig Hilton...keep him the non-entity that he is.

There's a saying that goes something like "you can tell who is losing a debate by who is throwing mud."

Prejean 1, Perez 0.

Perez = BIG LOSER!!!!

The bar’s height is not set by us but by Judaeo-Christian principles on which this Nation was founded.

The very existence and memory of that bar is what some strive to purge.

None of us can reach it consistently.

But for the grace of God we all fail.

Nonetheless, the bar is there and with that grace, we can and must both advocate and strive.

The guy who subs for KABC radio this morning says that he lives around the same neighborhood as Perez and they both get coffee at the same place.

He said Perez comes in all the time with the same clothes on looking like they have never been washed. He says his hair is matted and greasy every time he foes out.

And that Perez goes out to get his coffee while wearing pink bunnyslippers that are black with grime. He walks over pavement and asphault in the slippers.

He’s a pig ... and he looks it.

Perez specializes in “outing” gays who want to remain anonymous.
