We really care what a former fashion model says
________
Apparently we do when her name is Carrie Prejean.
Carrie Prejean was asked by a hostile judge about an issue that had nothing to do with her business, which was that of being a beauty pageant contestant, and did not go around talking about random issues based on the fact that she was a beauty contestant (or, in the case of Carla, married to somebody important).
The only people who made Prejean’s statements either important or political were those in the media.
