Perez did add "why or why not" to the question, so I can see why she'd venture into her personal views.

You're missing the point of those questions JJ. Anyone that may pose a question to a beauty queen may have a political agenda. The test is to respond to questions in a diplomatic way that offends no one.

No, it's simply putting you head in the sand to think they weren't loaded questions with the purpose to have each contestant espouse the views of the powers that be. Look what happens to someone who doesn't tow the line. Hell the guy...

Okay, very good. But her being able to "cut a bitch" never seemed that threatening to me.

I was thinking more of someone who's made a movie, or was in a mainstream movie. But I forgot, this "Celebrity, Get ... " is not just filled with movie or TV people.

I was thinking "Ant" too, but I've never forgotten Harvey's penchant for putting people in there place in his drag queen voicy way. It wouldn't be with facts, or some dry rhetoric, it would just be "Btich please, @$%^T&^^##&^##^&*& ..."....

Please enlighten me with someone else's name.

Why say this without mentioning someone you know of??? Who else do you know that can be bitchy and dramatic and is "out of the closet" and still alive that can put her in her place for the child that she is.

I'm sure it won't be the last time she gets fired. People can only take so much of an insufferable bitch.

Politics aside, the bitch didn't meet the expectations of her employer. She wasn't true to her contract. In the real world, you don't do your job or commit breach of contract, you get fired. The organization is her boss and they canned her. I think it's very simple and has nothing to do with her beliefs.

You can't offend no one. There are always crazies out there who'll get offended by the littlest things. Last year's winner offended countries like Israel, and believers in our military. This years offendee's just happened to be more "dramatic" about having their feelings hurt.

The test is to respond to questions in a diplomatic way that offends no one. If it was just giving the right answer, it would be alot harder to pick a winner - because everyone wants world peace. Well, almost everyone.

That's a bizarre statement given how much a political platform the pageant was. How do you think they came up with those questions they asked? Youthink thereactually wasn't any political agenda with the question and the person asking it...lol.....

I didn't know Carrie brought the Mormons to California and helped the majority vote for Prop 8. Such power. And sure, Carrie is an idiot for stating her opinion. She forgot how intolerant people can be about other opinions.

I am SO glad the anti-gay bigots grabbed her and made her their spokesperson so we could all see what a self-serving idiot she is.

Spring pageant season starts with Miss USA next Sunday, April 19th. Here's this year's crop of girls all wanting to show that she too can fall on her ass in front of the world this summer at Miss Universe.
