And she should spend all the money from selling the book for CHARITY !

Yes, that is the only way to make the book its meanings. It was not her to make up this story. It was enough. If she really wants to claim her conservative character, She should not again use her ugly behavior to make ugly profit. That is the only way she can gain her self-respect if that is what she wants to earn instead of money, but i doubt it. She should spend all the money from selling the book for CHARITY

thank you

I added an update to the post with an example JavaScript code that uses this pipe.

NOM & Prejean

Who is more stupid...National Organization for Marriage (NOM) for using Carrie Prejean to increase their revenues or Carrie Prejean for being used by NOM. Neither seem to be more intelligent than the average person...at best.

Come On Be Real!

Carrie was not persecuted by the Miss CA people, heck they paid for her boob job so she would compete for Miss USA. Why would anyone spend that kind of money on elective surgery not to do their best elsewhere to support her.

She was fired as a model for being too difficult to work with, she refused to return calls and to accept appearences, but jumped to appear for NOM. That's job abandonment, anyone else in any other industry would have been fired immediately.

Futhermore to go on about loosing like she did, showed no respect for the actual winner. She is telling the world that one could win against her fairly? She lost, move on!

I really can't imagine ever speaking to my boss the way that she returned e-mails and text messages. Yet a quick smile, tilt of the head, and "Oh, protect me from the big bad gay people" is just smoke and mirrors.

A Prejean book is just an insult to the literary work of so many worthy journalists. More importantly the people who purhchase this book, are enabling her to continue to preech being a christain without having to live a christain lifestyle.

Pro-traditional marriage

Aren't most of us "pro-traditional marriage"? This says nothing. What Mr. Bedard means is anti-gay marriage. Let's be mindful of semantic slant, please. It's important as a journalist.

Prejean/Palin ticket for 2012

Finially a running mate that will actually make Sarah look smart.

A book, eh?

Carrie can write?

Okay, that may be a bit harsh and unfair, but in all seriousness, I hope she plans to hire a professional writer to tell her story. The half dozen times I've heard her speak publicly, I found her to be strikingly inarticulate. She's a terrible public speaker, in my opinion. That makes it all the more ironic that she's making her living now as a spokesperson for NOM. Well, stranger things have happened.

Anyone can be fired from a job

Carrie your fired! get over it and move on.

Response to Slime Ball - correction

Correction - typos:

Meant to say:

Enough of the lies and distortions and defamation of character of so many innocent people:

1- Keith Lewis

2- Photographer of topless photos

3- Other pageant officials

4- Anyone else who dared cross her path and get in her way - of having her way. God help them!!

Response to Slime Ball - part 2

8 – Carrie DEMANDED the list of offers that came in – so he sent the Playboy one to her. How she lies, and lies. Such a distortion – so not true. He sent it to her in a matter-of-fact manner, period. There was no demand or expectation by any stretch. She would have never received that offer had she not demanded to see ALL offers.

9 – Carrie was fired from her previous employer –modeling agency – see my previous post. This is a pattern. No one can put up with her crap. There was no conspiracy. She was not a victim. She’s a opportunist. She’s white, heterosexual, young, beautiful on the outside, and held the coveted title of Miss Calif. She didn’t have to work alongside these folks on a daily basis/all through email and phone. Tthey were fair with her and tried to help her and save her from NOM – who, has destroyed her. And, when they’re finished with, they’ll drop her off on the side of the road . It may be very soon as her 15 min. are over and the press has moved on. The only reason her attorney, hired by NOM, is still pushing the issue of lawsuit is to keep her in the press until she can find a book deal. There’ s no guarantee (this is the correct spelling btw) a book deal and big bucks will materialize – so, guess she’ll be headed back to school to finish her degree.

So long Carrie.

Enogh of the lies and distortion and demafation of innocent people.
