Update:
So the story comes out she made a sex tape(albeit a pretty dull one, apparently), which violates the morals clause in her beauty pagent contract. This is getting funnier and funnier. Firstly the concept of a contest based on pulchritude having a morals clause is pretty funny, secondly this paragon of Christian principles making a sex tape is even more funny, and the contest organizers trying to recover the money they fronted her for a boob job is flat out hilarious.
Original comment:
Well, she's certainly making the most of the attention she's been getting, and it looks like her celebrity may well last longer than 15 minutes.
While I disagree with her opinion, she certainly has the right to it, and the right to express it publicly, including in that sterling bastion of intellectual thought, the Miss USA contest.
I do find some of the fawning over her by elements of the media more than a little fatuous, however. While Miss Prejean does not seem as vacant as is the norm for beauty contestants, neither does she strike me as an intellect of particular depth, nor a commentator of vibrant lucidity. What she brings to the table is moderate articulation and being easy on the eyes. That's all. For her to be heralded as the champion of "traditional" marriage strikes me not only as shallow, but points to a lack of depth on that side of the argument.
