I've been trying to stay away from Carrie Prejean, I really have, but her interview with Larry King last night made it nearly impossible not to shame her.

A quick summary of why Carrie Prejean is newsworthy:

In 2009 while participating in the Miss California pageant, she was asked about same-sex marriage and replied, "Well I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one way or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And, you know what, in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, no offense to anybody out there. But that’s how I was raised and I believe that it should be between a man and a woman." This answer reportedly cost her the pageant title. Prejean then sued pageant officials alleging religious discrimination. That lawsuit was settled after a video came to light showing a 17-year-old Prejean performing a "solo" sex act.

Last night she went on Larry King to promote her new book that I'm not going to name, but I'm sure the pop-ups are colorful. When King asks her about her reasons for settling the lawsuit, she lacks the comprehension skills to separate the terms of the settlement from the motivation behind doing so and threatens to walk out of the interview calling King "inappropriate". King moves away from that topic and takes a phone call from a gay man who presses her on her beliefs which prompts Prejean to remove her microphone and act like a 9-year-old whose daddy just asked her to clean up her room.

Watch the train wreck below...


I thought Larry went easy on her. Had I been conducting that interview, I would have asked Prejean her thoughts about being prosecuted for child pornography and labeled a sex-offender for the rest of her life for creating a solo-sex video when she was a minor.

I wonder how she would have reacted to that.
