Carrie Prejean

Summary: This article is about Perez Hilton criticizing Miss California Miss Prejean for an interview on Larry King where she is promoting her book. In the interview she says that people should never do what they wouldn't want there biggest fans to see. When Larry King asked her if she had any regrets she said that she regrets decisions that she made when she was a teenager and a sex-tape of her was made but she has no regrets relating to the beauty pageant.

Response: I think that people and the media were to mean to Carrie Prejean. To me it seems that she won the California pageant and than they rescinded the award for a political position and than made up an excuse to make it look like they're not politically biased. What interesting about the beauty pageant controversy is that in order to win you don't need to be smart or have good values, and now that there was a contestant with good values and who was willing to stick up for them she loses because of it. But to be fair if Miss Utah was a frontrunner is the Miss USA pageant and she was asked if she supports same-sex marriage and said yes we would probably get really mad and want to rescind her Miss Utah award, although the people at the Miss USA audience would cheer as if they were BYU fans at the end of that 2006 game against The University of Utah. This reminds me of a Simpsons episode where Marge is at some city meeting and she says something like she enjoys being a mother and everyone there boos her.

Rush Limbaugh

Summary: Apparently Rush Limbaugh was reading President Obama's thesis frmo Columbia University where President Obama was dissing the constitution and being critical of the founding fathers. What's funny is that what he was reading was not the president's thesis, a satire from a humor blog and he took it seriously. (I am proud to say that I as well have a humor blog) Rush Limbaugh did not apologize.

Response: To me Limbaugh seems to be behaving like a little kid.  It seems all political comedians do is find as many ways to criticize the opposite party and they behave totally rudely there not open minded and they don't apologize. I really wish those political people were more open minded and fair because then they would be more interesting to listen to. That fact that he was reading something from a humor blog makes me wonder two things. First of all, where is he getting his information, this makes me think that he just googles stuff all day to look for stuff that he can use without caring about wether or not it's credible. Second, how smart is he, if someone takes a satire seriously it makes me question how smart their reasoning is, it also makes me wonder how smart that blogger is because if he can make a satire that someone takes seriously than he's probably really smart.

This story doesn't seem to have gotten m too much attention so it makes me wonder if maybe this is a hoax. It would be quite embarrassed if it was.
