Also, Playboy didn't ask her to pose nude. They asked her to pose "opposite clothed."

I disagree with everything the woman said, but the truth is she was viciously attacked for stating her beliefs with a venom that kind of shocked me.

BINGO!

"...since semi-nude portraiture was part of the imbroglio that landed Prejean in trouble with pageant officials in the first place..."

Yeah, right!

Jesus would probably love a good throat fuck.

over the Bible Mafia every time.

Where is your coverage of Lettman's sexism towards Palin. Broadsheet is silent on this but take time to continue to bash a woman with the same view on gay marriage as Obama.

Femisex.com has just published comments that David Letterman will make tonight apologizing for his sexism re Palin.

Letterman to apologize to Palin on tonight’s show.

Femisex just posted his forthcoming comments:

Broadsheet is too busy busting a 21 year old woman apart to talk about Letterman's shameful misognyy. Hats off to all the 4th wave feminist sites that worked so hard today to make this come about. Salon you are so so yesterday.

THIS PAGENT IS NOT GOING TO SUCCEED IN THE FUTURE. FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS BEING USED AS A LIE DETECTOR BEFORE THE WORLD. ITS A SAFE BET NEXT YEAR THE CONTESTANTS WILL BE SCHOOLED ON WHATS POLITICALLY CORRECT TO SAY AND NOT NESSESSARILY WHAT THEY BELIEVE. IN SHORT THE WHOLE CONTEST IS A FRAUD. YOUR BELIEFS LEFT OR RIGHT NOW ARE DECIDING A BEAUTY CONTEST. ITS A DISGRACE AND LEAVES A BITTER TASTE IN IN THE MOUTHS OF AMERICA. JOE CAPRIO/CITYLIFEPRODUCTIONS

For Christ's sake, if you wish to be taken seriously refrain from posting in total caps.

Frankly, I'm growing weary of the trophy hunt for evil misogynists that gets trotted out like old porridge every day on any site relating to feminism. There's a point where useful and cogent information crosses into being a tedious bore.

But, in regards to Letterman's constant reference to Bristol I do agree, he needs to shut the fuck up about this young woman unless he can say something positive, which he won't.

Just leave her out of the mind puke, Letterman. No one wants to hear cheap filth about a very young woman boning A-Rod. Asshole. Todd needs to break his damn arm.

What Carrie Prejean and many others don't seem to understand is that freedom of speech does not mean freedom from ridicule.

Yes, she was just stating her beliefs-- but remember, there was a time when people who believed in segregation just felt like they simply had a difference of opinion from others.

I just hope that, in 10 or 20 years time, her homophobic words and activism will be just as abhorrent as Strom Thurman's speeches sound today.

Cool.

And Jack and Jill, the shameless plugging for femisex is getting old and your comments are mind numbingly predictable. "Broadsheet is sexist/misogynistic because of the way they talk about Carrie Prejean/any Palin woman, remember when they wrote X, Y, or Z!? but femisex is better, see this link, And oh, when will broadsheet stop being sexist?!" Frankly I wish broadsheet would cut down on it's pop culture media watch a bit, so I'm thrilled that I'm not reading about Prejean and any Palin in the same day for a change. Not to worry though, I'm sure they'll get to it sooner or later. Just as I'm sure that when they do, you will show up with yet another variation on your redundant salespitch.

wow (link in sig)!

I tripped over smarter rocks.

Sad really. I'm all for parents giving some kudos to a child's appearance (since they'll hear plenty of negatives later) but surely parents should encourage a little intellectual development? Makes you wonder what Prejean was like as a 16 year old and what her parents were doing to help her develop into an adult.

The emails make her appear to be the illiterate, smug, nasty person I always suspected her to be.

From the leaked emails:

"I expect you to be forwarding me ALL email requests and interview requests to me. I know how you are and it’s not right if you are selecting things for me. Thanks for your cooperation. And fyi I am a presenter of medals at the special olympics in a few weeks for the summer games. So now u know I am doing this and I expect your full support. Also I was asked to fill in for a dj on a local radio show.. Ill be reading from a show biz script monday. I am doing this."

"You do not cooperate with me, and you pick and chose the things YOU want me to do. That is not happening anymore. Stop speaking for me. I have MY own voice. What are u gonna do fire me for volunteering for the special olympics hahaha ur crazy No I am doing this appearance. You do not need details. Its for the SPECIAL OLYMPICS!!! You just need to know I will be doing it alright."

Now THAT is a representative of California!
