Carrie Prejean

Here's what Carrie Prejean said when a bull dyke with a butch haircut asked her opinion on gay marriage:

"I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage and, you know what, in my country and my family I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anyone out there but that's how I was raised and that's how I think it should be between a man and a woman."

No malice, no prejudice, just a simple explanation of her moral beliefs, unswayed by popular opinion. What's more American than that?

The cranky judge that asked her the question exercised his freedom of speech by hissing like a cat and engaging in middle school name-calling as he excoriated Ms. Prejean for giving a sincere answer to a stupid question. It's a bikini contest, for crying out loud. What next, asking a panel of Brazilian beach volleyball players about global energy policy?

By the way, what was a gay man doing judging a beauty contest? What's next, a panel of Jews, Muslims and vegetarians judging a pork BBQ cook off on the food channel? Only in America...
