Former Miss California Carrie Prejean appeared on the Nov. 11 "Larry King Live" to promote her new book, "Still Standing." Tension ran deep, with Prejean accusing the host of being "inappropriate" and at one point, taking off her microphone and threatening to walk-off the set.
King also blindsided Prejean, who famously spoke out against same-sex marriage in the Miss USA pageant last April, with a caller who asked her, "I'm a gay man and I love pageants. I'm sure that you, Carrie, have got great gay friends that helped you possibly win. What would you give them as advice if they wanted to get married?"
Prejean had taken off her microphone while the caller asked the question. She later claimed on air that the agreement King had with her publicist about her appearance did not include taking phone calls. King insisted, "I didn't know we weren't supposed to take phone calls."
King twice tried to obtain an answer from Prejean about a sexual video she made as teenager for her boyfriend. He fired four questions to her about her settlement with the Miss Universe organization, despite Prejean's insistence that those matters were confidential and she could not comment on them.
It was at that point Prejean told King he was "being inappropriate."
King is notorious for his softball celebrity interviews. Why the hardball now, especially putting a caller on the air who obviously looked for a "gotcha" moment with Prejean?
Could it be because she's expressed conservative beliefs?
This line of attack appeared to be a new one for King. The CNN host interviewed Monica Lewinsky in 2000, and backed off of a line of questioning about the former White House intern's feelings toward Linda Tripp after she replied, "I think because she's in trial, it's probably not appropriate for me to comment. I'm sorry."
King tried once more to draw an answer from Lewinsky, but moved on to another question after she demurred a second time.
With Prejean, King quickly asked her about the recently leaked sex tape. He treated the matter of a sex tape very differently in his 2007 interview with Paris Hilton.
Hilton catapulted to the top of the pop culture stratosphere in 2003 when her ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon released a video of the couple having sex.
Yet Hilton's sex tape (the entire reason for her fame) did not come up in her interview with King, even when he asked her when the intense paparazzi interest in her began. Hilton claimed it began at the age of 16 when she "moved to New York ... and began modeling."
Granted, King's interview with Hilton came four years after the release of her sex tape, and Prejean confirmed her video just this week, but it was disingenuous of King to not point out that Hilton owed her household name status to her video escapades.
King's treatment of Prejean showcased the harsher examinations conservatives take get under the microscope of the mainstream media.

I still do not understand
Thu, 11/12/2009 - 15:00 ET by Roger the ShrubberI still do not understand why any conservative would hitch their trailer onto the train wreck that this dumb bimbo is...
Just because she is anti-gay-marriage doesn't mean she isn't, well, a dumbshit.
She is painful to hear/watch and I am embarrassed that many of my fellow conservative waste their time on this piece of white trash.
I agree. She's doing this
Thu, 11/12/2009 - 15:08 ET by rwesleyI agree. She's doing this to herself. How many of us would expect an outlet like Larry King Live, The View, or Oafra to do anything but make an interview as salacious and degrading as it can get?
Sure, she can espouse conservative values and she can be a Christian (all have sinned and fallen short). However, she's trying to repair a reputation in a very ill-advised manner.
Why is it?
Fri, 11/13/2009 - 10:30 ET by Patriot IIThis liberal scumbags keep raking her over the coals for what they say is an inappropriate answer, but never say a word about the dumb bass that asked the "inappropriate" question that had not a damn thing to do with the pageant? Insanity is rampant in this country.....!!
My sentiments exactly.
Thu, 11/12/2009 - 15:15 ET by Another Dead KennedyMy sentiments exactly. Sorry to be the one to agree with you, Roger.
I have to wonder what exactly Prejean was expecting from this interview. She is famous for several key events (the notorious Perez incident, boob job custody fight, and a sex tape apparently?), but apparently didn't want to discuss any of them? Was she hoping to discuss the beauty pageant business?
Yeah, enough already
Thu, 11/12/2009 - 15:55 ET by SickofLibsI just wish she'd come into contact with Levi The Johnson and they'd cancel each other out and arc into a cloud of vapor.
My sentiments exactly
Thu, 11/12/2009 - 15:56 ET by Solrac7She reads the bible and doesn't approve of gay marriage and this makes her a conservative super star? Are we so struggling for stars that we need this blond bimbo with her beauty queen mentality, fake tits and sex tapes to be our pillor of virtue. Face it, she is another hack trying to make a buck with her book and 15 minutes of fame. Why would any self respecting person show up on liberal talk shows in the first place? And then act surprised when the "inappropriate" questions come, geez. Your 15 minutes of fame have expired bimbo!!
Nobody is hitching anything up... however, your comments

Thu, 11/12/2009 - 20:05 ET by SickofLibsDo we now throw away common sense, too?
Her handlers should hip her to the fact that she is not doing conservatives any favors anymore by continuing to accept invitations to what we all know are going to be attempted character assassinations.
She's got a book, I'm sure it will sell well with or without Larry King, Oprah, and the rest of them.

Hi Pahuber
Thu, 11/12/2009 - 21:30 ET by shawn228Its been a while, I hope all is well. Honestly did you really think LK's question was that inappropriate, since she wants to get publicity for her book and all?
Hi Shawn, I think that their were arrangements about the phone
Fri, 11/13/2009 - 14:15 ET by pahubercalls that were broken and certain items were off the table.
I believe that Larry broke their agreement to set her off for his own 'ratings'...
There is the view that I could take and say...hey, she was dumb enough to go on the show like a lot of conservatives do with pmsnbc and end up looking like crap...kinda like W. Jennings Brian allowing C. Darrow to put him on the stand. It just doesn't go very well...
or
We could say that Larry was inappropriate and deliberate in breaking pre arranged agreements to get her to do the show.
My point of contention is that some words were pretty harsh on her after all she has taken. Harsh words & criticism can be ok, but in certain cases of those raked over the coals by the MSM ad infinity and counting gets pretty lame after a time and is akin to poking a dead cat w/ a stick.
I have not really addressed the question as much as the comments posted.

Where is the world do you get the idea that any
Thu, 11/12/2009 - 16:37 ET by WhoIsJohnGaltconservative is "hitching their trailer..." to her? The point of this article is the different treatment conservatives get in the media. I'm not aware of any conservative that holds her up as a paragon of deep thinking. All the coverage that I've seen her get (on the conservative side of the media spectrum) is from the point of view that she is smeared because she IS conservative. From the very first treatment she received from that idiot at the pageant, who by the way, set her up, and it was obvious...she was treated like her opinion was provable as obviously incorrect and ignorant. She was treated horribly because of her religious views.
Now, to be clear...if I were in her position and knew that I had made a sex tape as a young, foolish person...I might go quietly into the night rather than try and capitalize on her Christianity.
That idiot, that flaming queen at the pageant was treated by the media as a legitimate member of the media, rather than the absolutely infantile self-loathing moron that he is. What does that right there say about the media? Remember all the horribly graphic scrawlings he put on her picture on his web site? Not one member of the MSM called him on it or even mentioned it as the filth that it ws. She answers a set up question honestly, and instead of taking her opinion as just that, the media treats him like gold and her like El Diablo himself.
I'd like to see the MSM start asked such pointed questions to gays about their problem.

I have not yet seen the movie. I'm pretty sure I've been out of college long enough that those kinds of friends no longer forward porn to my inbox. But like I said earlier, I've only heard that there's an x-rated film of Prejean out there. Could just be a rumor, but if it's not, it certainly falls into the hypocrite category. I just think Prejean will be a much happier person if she stops making liberal news!

Thu, 11/12/2009 - 20:27 ET by Another Dead KennedyActually, I think Prejean's parents are the ones who should be ashamed. After all, it was their daughter who chose to film herself in a questionable manner.

Now I know I don't have to explain to you the many issues with viewing porn at work, so while I can't link you directly to the video, you can do a simple search for Prejean sex tape download and you'll see the results. But given the fact that she's already admitted to the video, I don't see how you can question the validity any longer.

Are you saying if you behave inappropriately as a child, you are required to remain the same misguided person you were as a child for the rest of your life, forbidden forever from speaking out against inappropriate behavior because you once engaged in such behavior too?
Ah yes, the ultimate liberal sin...
Fri, 11/13/2009 - 07:34 ET by WhoIsJohnGalthypocrisy. How DARE any conservative utter any word about moral values if they have EVER transgressed.
I have a liberal friend with whom I work who believes that he can't tell his son not to do drugs because he did a bit when he was young. In his twisted logic, he has no moral authority. So (and this always trips him up, so he's learned to avoid the issue at all costs) since his son was never taught about the reasons that recreational drugs are bad, he may well take them to excess, and in the process, he may stray and shoplift in order to support his habit. It would follow, by my coworkers logic that his son can't tell his children not to steal because, well, he did it. And so on, and soon, there are NO moral values...is that how it ends up?
That seems to be the liberal approach to moral values; if you've ever done anything wrong, even if you recognize it was in error and say as much, you CANNOT SPEAK about such errors when someone else commits them. Else...HYPOCRITE!!!

Fri, 11/13/2009 - 12:32 ET by Conservative Voicex rated? It was a private movie...she is hardly a playboy centerfold. And even if she was, she still could promote conservative values and not be a hypocrite about it.
Right. It was a private
Fri, 11/13/2009 - 13:08 ET by Another Dead KennedyRight. It was a private movie that isn't private anymore. In fact, why haven't we seen it yet? Because if she was 17 when she made it, it's considered child porn. So Prejean is guilty of distributing child porn, and anyone who downloads it is guilty of possession of child porn. This is dangerous territory.

King was nicer to the teacher "convicted sex offender" that slept with her student then he was to Carrie Prejean.

Thu, 11/12/2009 - 15:36 ET by mattm"What would you give them as advice if they wanted to get married?" Get help to restore yourself to heterosexuality and find a nice person of the opposite sex to marry.
Sorry if that irks some of you out there, but this whole irks me because it's so phony. The only reason "gays" are pushing for "marriage" is to poke "traditional values" in the eye.
Get help to restore
Thu, 11/12/2009 - 15:54 ET by Mitchell BlattGet help to restore yourself to heterosexuality
You can't really "restore" yourself to heterosexuality. First of all, that would imply that everyone is straight to begin with, but some people are obviously gay based on the fact that gay people have been existing for some time. And those people who are gay are gay because they are attracted to their own sex, so it's a phsychological thing that's basically impossible to change, in most cases.
Not to go off on a tangent
Thu, 11/12/2009 - 16:13 ET by MaximusBraveheartNot to go off on a tangent here but I disagree. Psychological is right, and it can be "changed" based on the witness of former gays. Gay marriage is pushed so hard since they want the psychological endorsement of others to feel good about their deviant thrills & indulgence in their life without such "rules." There are lots of unhealthy deviant behaviors so don't expect society to endorse them. The voters have shown that.

Thu, 11/12/2009 - 16:34 ET by mattmI wouldn't argue with you, because I don't know for sure. I suspect that you're only partly right at best, since there are cases of people who were once "gay", got therapy and changed.
However, my only point in saying that was that it would have been a hoot if Prajean had said that, just to send the questioner into a conniption.

Why Ms. Prejean...
Thu, 11/12/2009 - 16:18 ET by PrairieSkyagreed to go on Larry King, I'll never know. King is a joke and is a more than willing accomplice to the political left, and has been for years. This interview was obviously an ambush, and the decision to have her appear on CNN was a very poor one.
That said, I am no fan of Carrie Prejean...To me, she is just another silicone-enhanced, bleached-blonde, bubble-headed bimbo who has more than used up her 15 minutes of fame. I do think the way she was treated during (and after) the Miss USA pageant was wrong, but I for one wish she would just disappear, already. I don't want her parading around posing as a spokeperson for the conservative cause...She is an embarrassment (especially after her sex tape has come to light), and the sooner she gets off the stage the better.

I totally agree
Thu, 11/12/2009 - 17:02 ET by ProudAmerican58I also feel her behavior on King's show was less than "appropriate" as well.
Those weren't tough
Thu, 11/12/2009 - 15:51 ET by Mitchell BlattThose weren't tough questions; they were not personal or anything, and she easily dodged them just by not answering them, then King moved on.
King always asks the same stupid question over and over without any self-awareness. Watch Jerry Seinfeld get mad at him when he kept asking if Seinfeld's show as canceled:

Thu, 11/12/2009 - 20:45 ET by Galvanic. . . with Ms. Prejean when she was persecuted for her honest, faith-based answer to a loaded question from a militant activist.
We later discover that she herself had breast-implants to improve her chances of winning beauty pageants -- so much for honesty and fair-play.
And then we learn that she made a sex-tape with her boyfriend.
So, surrounded by controversy, she's hawking her new book on, of all places, CNN's gossip crypt -- The Larry King Show -- so that CNN and Prejean can exploit each other for big bucks.
While I still maintain that she was unduly persecuted by the MSM and punished by the several pageant authorities, I have no sympathy for her and this self-indulgent quest for publicity.

Did Anyone Actually LISTEN To The Interview Instead Of Watching?
Thu, 11/12/2009 - 22:42 ET by The7SticksLarry King may suck, but if anyone looks worse in this interview, if not sounds, it's Miss Prejean. That's why you have to listen to an interview like this on the radio, like I did listening to Phil Hendrie's show. I mean, this woman had no idea on how to even defend herself on the air. Apparently, she kept signaling someone off camera for advice (most likely a press agent, if that's my guess.), and everyone would know that's a big no-no in these kind of environments (you definitely couldn't get away with coaching someone in a courtroom as I found out when I tried to coach my father on an eviction notice behind the court floor.) Do you realize how ridiculous it is to say "That's inappropriate" as if she has to ask someone for permission in order to think for herself?
I've got news for you: she's not the one being victimized, you are. YOU are all being victimized by this ridiculous system of everything must have a political agenda behind it, therefore you are a victim. Miss Prejean should have had enough notice that Larry King pursues his own political agenda, just as Sean Hannity, or Rachel Maddow might pursue theirs through their questioning. The question though is: maybe you should grow up a little and actually challenge your opponent to the duel rather than letting them challenge you. You cannot be so air-headed that you can't make any better comeback than saying, "uh, that's inappropriate" and taking her microphone off like a dithering nincompoop. I mean, please.
OK, Sticks, here we go:
Thu, 11/12/2009 - 23:03 ET by SickofLibsYou can't possibly be so stupid to know that there were not major groundrules agreed to in advance as to how the interview would be conducted, could you? If the answer is no, seek professional help (but not from anyone with SoA on their card).
If the answer is YES, proceed below:
1) Prejean was bound to not discuss any aspects of the lawsuit. Keyword: any. All other questions were hers to field. King pissed on this.
2) Prejean's terms specifically forbade taking viewer calls. King not only pissed on this, but feigned ignorance and blamed it on his staff (in Obama-esque fashion).
Summation: King is either senile or needs to retire, because this was total BS.

Fri, 11/13/2009 - 04:00 ET by 007memoYou purport that King "especially put a caller on the air who obviously looked for a "gotcha" moment with Prejean?"
Be honest Ms. Raezler. Prejean, in a drama queen moment, removed the mic before she even heard the question from the caller.
And I don't think I've ever seen a King interview that he didn't "go to the phones", it's a staple of his show.
And actually, "King is notorious for his softball celebrity interviews." And this interview was equally soft. Pretty soon Prejean will be calling on the ACLU to defend her.
I think people need to
Fri, 11/13/2009 - 04:13 ET by Conservative VoiceI think people need to realize that she is young...she isn't a political football...she is a real person.
The left is certainly out to make her into a hussy, as a way to make her in to a hypocrite....even though it doesn't make her one. What I find even more annoying though is people on the right who demean her, calling her bimbo, or worse, because she made mistakes. I think she should be applauded for standing up at the pageant for what she believes, knowing it was going to cost her...and leave it at that.
I feel sorry for her, I certainly wouldn't want all my youthful moments judged by all America and having the media machine working overtime for gotcha moments....and that is the message the left wants to send...if you don't want to end up like CP, walk the pc line.
Prejean is a drama queen, manufacturing controversy
Fri, 11/13/2009 - 13:11 ET by 007memo"The left is certainly out to make her into a hussy, as a way to make her in to a hypocrite." She has made her own self out to be a hussy and hypocrite. Think about it.
" I think she should be applauded for standing up at the pageant for what she believes, knowing it was going to cost her..." No problem with standing up for beliefs, but it's laughable to claim that it has cost her. She is profiting very nicely from all this "unwanted" attention that she seeks out and gloms onto at every opportunity. Prejean is a drama queen, manufacturing controversy all along the way - all the while enrapturing her minions.
"I certainly wouldn't want all my youthful moments judged by all America". Me neither. But if you're going to put yourself out there as a holier than though judge of others, you must remember; judge ye not lest ye be judged.
Judge others?
Fri, 11/13/2009 - 13:35 ET by BlondeYou are confused, 7. Totally confused. It was Perez Hilton who was doing the judging, Prejean was the judged.

Larry King's double standard
Fri, 11/13/2009 - 10:29 ET by wenders99Would King ever be as critical during the monthly love fests with Bill Maher? I've NEVER heard a caller critical of Maher during these infomercials. Have any of you? The very reason celebrities go on his show is because he gives them free reign to say what they want without consequences (at least from him).
