Ex-Miss California Carrie Prejean Working on a Book
http://www.usnews.com/blogs/washington-whispers/2009/06/19/ex-miss-california-carrie-prejean-working-on-a-book.html



We haven't heard the last of Carrie Prejean, the fired beauty queen, and not just because her lawyer is threatening a lawsuit against the Miss California USA pageant. Publishing sources say that she has begun shopping her story to publishers, and they tell Whispers that they are eager to cut a deal.

The book would likely tell her side of pageant life and what has happened since she backed traditional marriage over same-sex marriage in answering a question at the Miss USA pageant. The answer sent the liberal and gay community into a frenzy and, she says, ultimately cost her the Miss California crown. She has since become aligned with a pro-traditional marriage group, National Organization for Marriage.

A letter to Miss California USA officials this week protesting Prejean's firing offered some details of the book project, which her lawyer says was one of the reasons given for the beauty queen's dismissal. In the letter, the lawyer, Charles LiMandri, says that pageant producers, including Donald Trump, suggested that she write a book, thus making it an authorized project.





Oh boy. This should be rich. Care to think of some titles DU?

2. Whatever the title I think I'll wait til it hits Dollar General bookshelves in about a year.

I'm sure with a book from someone like her the rwing foundations will buy trainloads of her story only to dump it on the remainder market at a later date.

Caribou Barbie is "writing" a book too. I would think ex beauty queens and losers tell the same story.

16. "What do you mean 'sticking foot in mouth' isn't a recognized talent?"...
Or maybe "No, the new face up bigotry is up here." ?

Perhaps "At least I didn't talk about 'US Americans'..." ?

... "Wait... I thought it was Paris Hilton's question that counted!" ?

19. I'm trying to think of something clever
along the lines of "Opinions are Like Assholes" but I'm falling flat today. I think you mean "Perez", BTW.

27. Will crayons be included, or will I have to buy my own?
I'm making the safe assumption this will be found in the toy aisle of the local Rite-Aid.

28. You'd think, yeah.
But some of the comments at that link are terrifying.

I hope Carrie Prejean makes millions on her book. I personally will buy 100 of them and give them to friends that have young daughters. I know this young woman is a hero to many Americans. 86% to be exact. She had the courage that not many (if any) twice her age....would display.


There's more but I don't want to paste it here. PU!

I'm not sure I'd want this guy lurking in the toy aisle. :scared:

39. At this critical juncture in our national history it would be a dirty shame
not to have a book by this insightful beauty queen.

Needless to say, ladies and gentleman, I'll be advance-ordering.
