The obligatory “Miss California to guest host Fox & Friends” post
posted at 9:58 pm on May 14, 2009 by Allahpundit
Perfectly predictable, so much so that I almost called it a few weeks ago. And yet, I’m torn. Pro: She’s so hot, she’s capable of turning straight women gay. The more airtime, the merrier. Con: Like I said when defending her from Shuster’s vomit attack, the reason she’s been sympathetic through all this is that she came by it innocently, simply giving her opinion in answer to a question. Now that she’s parlaying it into a stuntcasting tryout on the conservative network of choice, a bit of that is gone. It’s not unlike what happened with Joe the Plumber or even the tea parties, which also started unassumingly and got snapped up by FNC once the buzz got big enough. Then again, we’re talking about someone here who gets paid to model underwear. Kind of hard to be a “sellout” under the circumstances.
Here’s her chat with Hannity from two nights ago; no matter how softball her interviews end up being on “Fox & Friends,” they can’t possibly be softer than this. If you can’t be bothered, at least watch the very end of the second clip where they talk about feminists going AWOL and she hint-hints to Sean that maybe she’ll work for Fox someday. I confess, I don’t get the distinction she draws earlier between posing for Victoria’s Secret but absolutely, positively not posing for Playboy — the difference is literally a few inches of fabric — but we’ll take what we can get. As for the campaign to humiliate her, yes, of course it’s still going on. The “Fox & Friends” gig even figures into it.

Nancy got PWNed today and Prejean is running all the way to the bank. Maybe there is some Justice during the reign of Obama!
Upstater85 on May 14, 2009 at 10:02 PM
…which I think says something very strong about the situation of the conservative movement in terms of publicity. We’re so hungry, whatever morsel we manage to get our hands on is wolfed down so fast, that it just makes things worse. You could argue that it happened to Palin, as well. Our side literally fell in love with her, hard…while the other side moved immediately to destroy her. Part of the 24-hour media culture, sadly…and it’s not likely to change anytime soon.

You must never have hit a home run with a woman; a few inches of fabric makes all the difference in the world.
Bishop on May 14, 2009 at 10:04 PM
1. State your (conservative) opinion.
2. Get media (blog) attention.
3. Guest “host” Fox and Friends.
This will happen forever.
Nonfactor on May 14, 2009 at 10:05 PM
Meggy could fill us all in on what a few more inches of fabric can cover up…
Upstater85 on May 14, 2009 at 10:06 PM
You know what they say about “almost”, Allah

Seven Percent Solution on May 14, 2009 at 10:06 PM
Took ya long enough…
This was this morning’s news.
If this is more than a one-time shot, think I’ll be watching more of FoxNews in the morning….can’t miss Meghan Kelly…and now Carrie Prejean?
There are indeed good things in life to look forward to each morning.
That was below the belt…/s
Then again, you do raise a point…what’s below the belt. :-)
coldwarrior on May 14, 2009 at 10:07 PM
As compared to someone that paid to go to AgSchool at an Ivy League school that’s not really an Ivy League school
Upstater85 on May 14, 2009 at 10:08 PM
I ♥ Prejean.
carbon_footprint on May 14, 2009 at 10:08 PM
Wow, the trolls must be terrified right now due to the Pelosi-gate… They can’t even pull of a “Faux News”
Upstater85 on May 14, 2009 at 10:09 PM
Miss California deserves this and the other good things that come her way after the h-ll the gay mafia has put her through the past few weeks. Good for her.
txag92 on May 14, 2009 at 10:10 PM
So, in your view, women are either Madonnas or whores. No wonder you’re alone.
Blake on May 14, 2009 at 10:10 PM

Upstater85 on May 14, 2009 at 10:10 PM
MC, that is a great point.
Weight of Glory on May 14, 2009 at 10:10 PM
Oh Snap!
carbon_footprint on May 14, 2009 at 10:10 PM
The attacks have been vicious and unwarranted from the beginning. Nothing she says or does will change or diminish that.
If anything and everything she says or does in public to advance her career is going to be used as justification for the past and ongoing attacks against her, this simply encourages political assault.
What is she supposed to do? Take their harassment silently and in seclusion? For how many months or years should she put her career and life on hold because she was attacked in this manner? Is that what all victims of such treatment should do? No. Never.
Stand up and speak. Be all you can be, Carrie.
Loxodonta on May 14, 2009 at 10:11 PM
No downside to hiring her. Zero.
AYNBLAND on May 14, 2009 at 10:11 PM
Now that will certainly increase Army enlistments. :-)
coldwarrior on May 14, 2009 at 10:13 PM
If Bill Clinton was the current president, Miss California would be offered a White House internship, complete with a closet full of blue dresses.
txag92 on May 14, 2009 at 10:13 PM
It was either this or guest starring in The Apprentice
Upstater85 on May 14, 2009 at 10:13 PM
+1 Heh
Didn’t think of it that way.
Upstater85 on May 14, 2009 at 10:14 PM
She missed a big opportunity by skipping out on Larry King… of course they had to put her up opposite the person who leaked that she got a boob job…
ninjapirate on May 14, 2009 at 10:14 PM
I was just thinking to myself this morning, what FoxNews needs is more beautiful blonds. Life hasn’t been the same since Lori, “Bunker Buster” Dhue left the scene.
TheBigOldDog on May 14, 2009 at 10:15 PM
There’s no gyno shots in Victoria’s Secret. Seriously, are you blind?
Blake on May 14, 2009 at 10:15 PM
Good for Carrie! I wish her much success!
TN Mom on May 14, 2009 at 10:15 PM
Good for Carrie!
And good for everyone, else too. The signal sent that standing up for your values will be supported and rewarded is a good one. We’ve seen far too many people shut down by intimidation and harassment.
Screw the PC totalitarians.

You know, you see Meggy and you can’t help but hear ‘It rubs the lotion on its back’…..over and over.
Who cares, great for her. Next.
HornetSting on May 14, 2009 at 10:16 PM
Too skinny and too much self-confidence
Remember, this is what initially caught Billy’s eyes…
Upstater85 on May 14, 2009 at 10:16 PM
:smile: Prejean
sven10077 on May 14, 2009 at 10:16 PM
Well, she certainly isn’t backing down, you have to give her that.
I can’t decide if she’s milking her 15 minutes of fame for all she can (and there’s absolutely NOTHING wrong with that)…
…or she’s thumbing her nose at all those misogynist lefties who want her to shut up and go back into the kitchen.
Religious_Zealot on May 14, 2009 at 10:16 PM
She quit because she could not work for an organzition that had no respect for contract law or something.
Blake on May 14, 2009 at 10:17 PM
I’m not. Rub it in the face of the brownshirts. Good for her.
The funny thing is to think about the advice of the also-rans (including the winner) that went something like, “She should’ve said the proper thing.” Heh.
ddrintn on May 14, 2009 at 10:17 PM
IDK
Heidi Klum is considered a tramp in most circles ///s
Upstater85 on May 14, 2009 at 10:17 PM
I suggest Carrie be used in Army recruitment ads.
Imagine her in light desert gear.
Partially open due to the heat.
Sweat dripping.

MY EYES! MY EYES! No wonder Chelsea is aesthetically challenged.
txag92 on May 14, 2009 at 10:19 PM
I’d say Chelsea is pretty darn lucky that she managed to look like she does… Things could have gone much worse……..
Upstater85 on May 14, 2009 at 10:21 PM
Or the other option: that Prejean actually has more than a few marbles in her head and can elucidate an opinion beyond “Oh ma GAWD” in her best Valley Girl voice.
No, that can’t be it, as the lefty pantloads would have everyone believe, Ms. Prejean is a typical dopey blond making her way through life on a great smile and big boobs. Give the woman a chance at least.
Bishop on May 14, 2009 at 10:23 PM
Her voice needs a little work. She has a nice delivery and she’s very composed. With some experience she will make a good media personality: actress, model or reporter.
Ted Torgerson on May 14, 2009 at 10:24 PM
Pretty women don’t have to have a personality, do they?
Hint: I need tons personality 2 make for my looks :)
terryannonline on May 14, 2009 at 10:26 PM
Where was the winner from again? What was her name? No, I’m not being facetious. I really don’t know. I think it was the Carolinas – north?
Who’s the winner in the end?
Upstater85 on May 14, 2009 at 10:26 PM
Now stop that!!! :-)
{How ya doing these days, my Pachyderm Pal?
Caught a bit of conversation last nite about you being under the weather. Don’t wish to intrude, but just wondering.]
coldwarrior on May 14, 2009 at 10:27 PM
Now Olbermann will have a new reason to hate her. She’ll have more of an audience in an hour than he’d get in a week. LOL

More of like
apocalyptically hot

txag92 on May 14, 2009 at 10:31 PM
Her looks can only get her so far. She actually has to be somewhat entertaining to have a huge audience on television.
terryannonline on May 14, 2009 at 10:31 PM
Cool photo here for future Prejean stories. She’s so beautiful and identifiable that all one needs to see is that classic silhouette.
Yeah, and I have no clue who won the stupid contest. Carolina something or other
econavenger on May 14, 2009 at 10:32 PM
Olby hears that all the time from Chrissie Matthews.
coldwarrior on May 14, 2009 at 10:32 PM
I don’t see Carrie as an intellect, but she is pleasing on the eyes and seems to have an authentic sweetness to her personality. That is far too rare these days.
Loxodonta on May 14, 2009 at 10:33 PM
I just can’t get over how hot this girl is
blatantblue on May 14, 2009 at 10:34 PM
That one is saved to my inbox…excellent photo…classic indeed.
coldwarrior on May 14, 2009 at 10:34 PM
LMAO. Miss California on the Drudge marquis outdrawing The Worst Person in the World.
Jaibones on May 14, 2009 at 10:34 PM
She’s in college so she is no dummy. However, it is not an Ivy League University, like Obama and AP attended. Therefore, she must be an idiot and be put down all the time.
Blake on May 14, 2009 at 10:34 PM
Dunno. The MSNBC crowd, for the most part, have neither. But of course they don’t have a huge audience, either.
ddrintn on May 14, 2009 at 10:34 PM
They are confused. Do they defend the liberal dim bulb Pelosi, or go with Axelrod’s boy and let her flap in the wind. I say Axelrod’s boy will win this one.
SouthernGent on May 14, 2009 at 10:35 PM
First, MSNBC doesn’t get good ratings. Secondly, some of the folks at MSNBC are so crazy that is what makes them entertaining.
terryannonline on May 14, 2009 at 10:37 PM
Are u talking about Allahpundit? Allah went to an Ivy League school?
terryannonline on May 14, 2009 at 10:40 PM
Absolutely not true. I have seen pictures of you and you are very attractive.
carbon_footprint on May 14, 2009 at 10:41 PM
I think Gretchen Carlson played a role in getting her on Fox & Friends. I mean with Gretchen’s ties to Miss USA title it makes sense doesn’t it?
Dire Straits on May 14, 2009 at 10:41 PM
Therefore, she must be an idiot and be put down all the time.
Blake on May 14, 2009 at 10:34 PM
She modeled for Victoria’s Secret! Don’t you get it, engaging in such activity means she’s an utter dolt, don’t ask me why, it just does. Brains and beauty are not accepted by nature, or whatever.
Bishop on May 14, 2009 at 10:42 PM
Awww…. thanks. But I still need a personality. I’m somewhat funny so that helps… a little.
terryannonline on May 14, 2009 at 10:45 PM
Not really. She didn’t start the whole thing. The judge started it. Because of her honest answer, she became the latest target for smear, with the message going out that anyone speaking the same opinion she did will get the same smear treatment. But it backfired! Thanks the judge and the subsequent attempts to smear, she is cashing in! The message is now – you don’t have to be intimidated into silence. And that she used Obama as a sheild is gotta be causing some problems among the wingnuts.
pearson on May 14, 2009 at 10:46 PM
I’m sure there are lots of well educated conservative women who have worked their entire careers in journalism who are wishing they would be so lucky to get a break like this… and I’m right there with them. She’s nice to look at, but that’s not why I watch the news.
popularpeoplesfront on May 14, 2009 at 10:47 PM
You have a BEAUTY CONTEST PARTICIPANT.

Along those lines, where is hawkdriver? This is the hot babe thread.
[Life can be difficult. At such times, I confess that helping others laugh or think or be comforted is not done without self interest, as it is a great comfort to me. And if all else fails, eventually fatigue dulls the pain.]
Loxodonta on May 14, 2009 at 10:51 PM
Well, at least we haven’t followed the Russian example…yet.
coldwarrior on May 14, 2009 at 10:51 PM
Another reason why I’m not ecstatic about the decline in newspaper readership. You don’t have to be “camera ready” to write for a newspaper.
terryannonline on May 14, 2009 at 10:53 PM
Unless you moved into my crawl space while I wasn’t looking, I suggest that heat you’re feeling is coming from you.
Here’s how to tell: If you’re alone and hear the sound of heavy panting…
Loxodonta on May 14, 2009 at 10:56 PM
AP,
As a christian I agree with you.
Except for this part.
shick on May 14, 2009 at 10:59 PM
You promised never ever to mention the crawl space.
Now I have to move all the, mmm, the…well, you know.
BTW, any idea of how many hitchhikers I did leave there?

sven10077 on May 14, 2009 at 11:04 PM
She’s just guest-hosting for an hour. She doesn’t have her own show yet.
That’s life. Loads of conservative men could say the same about JtP (although I’m fine with not having a media rectal exam, thanks).
ddrintn on May 14, 2009 at 11:06 PM
Those twenty-something queens over at TMZ have been hammering her non-stop.
They’ve posted no less than 3 insult-riddled posts per day since this whole thing began.
The Ugly American on May 14, 2009 at 11:06 PM
What ARE you talking about?!!!!
You could have the personality of a bowl of mush and you’d still be physically attractive. But you also have a vibrant personality.
Women!
Loxodonta on May 14, 2009 at 11:06 PM
Prejean makes all the fuss over switching to HDTV worthwhile.
viking01 on May 14, 2009 at 11:11 PM
So very, very…very hot.
Grafted on May 14, 2009 at 11:14 PM
I noticed that.
carbon_footprint on May 14, 2009 at 11:14 PM
Yeah, she’s hot, but she’s no Megyn Kelly.
Pablo on May 14, 2009 at 11:14 PM
I’m having trouble deciding who is classier: Perez Hilton or TMZ? Tough call!
terryannonline on May 14, 2009 at 11:15 PM
You could replace Gretchen Carlson with a pair of dirty gym socks and it would be an improvement. Ms. America out, Ms. California in.
I approve this message.
Pablo on May 14, 2009 at 11:17 PM
Bishop’s crack from the other thread: I’ll watch for the articles!
And congratulations to Hot Air commenters: I first heard she would be working for Fox right here, the day after the pageant.
Christian Conservative on May 14, 2009 at 11:19 PM
Gretchen is a chipper gal. It works with a morning show.
terryannonline on May 14, 2009 at 11:21 PM
No. But I have noticed your stash of videos. They’re marked “_______’S SECRET,” so I didn’t watch them.

Dave Rywall on May 14, 2009 at 11:21 PM
Half the comments are about how hot she is. How ludicrous.
Dave Rywall on May 14, 2009 at 11:22 PM
no not really except the 22 year old likely has a better grasp of her limitations than CEO/Ad Manager/ and Spender in Chief does
sven10077 on May 14, 2009 at 11:23 PM

sven10077 on May 14, 2009 at 11:23 PM

Half the comments on Obama have been about how “elegant” he is. QED.
