Let's take Ms. Gallagher's (NOM) rant point by point, shall we?
Edited on Wed Jun-10-09 08:26 PM by pepperbear
Hollywood hates Carrie

Hollywood didn't fire Carrie. The producers of the pageant did. Never fear; David Zucker or Jerry Bruckmeimer will hire her in a heartbeat.

First they abuse her, then they try to get her to recant...

Yep, she's a regular Norma Jean, that one. How exactly did they abuse her? Did they tie her up and make her cry? Where's the proof that the Miss. USA pageant ever tried to make her recant? They withheld the title from her, which is all they were empowered to do. They have that right, even if it is because of what she said.

then they threw mud...

By revealing photos she had taken of her own volition. Immature? Maybe. If she had won they would have been published anyway. You know...money and all that. When you hold a contest that's all about beauty, but you twist it to pretend it's all about values, you're stuck dancing with the one that brung ya!

and now they are doing what they wanted to do from day one: Get rid of Carrie

Because she couldn't be a spokesperson for NOM and perform her duties as Miss CA at the same time. Trump let her keep the crown at first, but she doesn't appear to want to turn give up on your lovely opportunity.

This cover story about a contract dispute doesn’t pass the smell test

Oh, my! A cover story! It's a conspiracy that reaches the highest places and institutions of our country! It might even lead to the WH! These days, doesn't everything?

Americans aren’t fooled that easily

Americans don't care that much.

God knows, and we know, the truth about Carrie

What you know about God's intentions wouldn't fill a thimble. But here's some truth; The very next day after the pageant, Miss. Prejean booked herself on the first talking head show she could find with her sordid tale of betrayal and injustice. Most people didn't remember who had actually won the pageant.

She’s a young woman of great beauty who chose truth over the glittering tiara that Hollywood offers

Nope. She's a young woman of artificial beauty who, upon losing the title, chose the lure of punditry and Fox news over the glittering tiara that Hollywood offers. Next stop: Rush!

Of course they will try to punish her, but we know she will be fine in the end, because her values are in the right place

She'll keep the NOM spokesperson job and become Anita Bryant Redux.

Hollywood will dance its tribal war dance over her body 

Again with the Hollywood. Nope, Hollywood will turn over and press the snooze button to get a few more minutes. Besides, Harry Potter 6 will be out in a month or so.

 the hatred generated against her has been extraordinary 

Because she spoke from her heart about certain people who aren't worthy of the same rights as her.
Hey, but she did say "No offense." Classy!

 but Carrie will be free to define her own mission and message from now on

Which means she'll keep the NOM spokesperson job and become Anita Bryant Redux.

Congratulations

Thanks! Couldn't have done it without her!
