It was bound to happen - an inevitable character assault on former Miss California Carrie Prejean by a host from MSNBC, the place for misogyny, after K2 Productions, the company that directs the Miss California USA pageant, filed a publicity-seeking, lawsuit.
Prejean unintentionally created a firestorm when she answered a question from self-proclaimed gay rights activist and gossip blogger Perez Hilton during the Miss USA pageant. Her offence was to say that she believed marriage should be between a man and a woman.
On MSNBC's Oct. 20 "Countdown," host Keith Olbermann dedicated part of a segment with the Village Voice's Michael Musto to a lawsuit seeking the $5,200 from Prejean, known for her stand on gay marriage, for breast augmentation surgery.
"To Miss Prejean, briefly - you play Judge Judy in this equation here," Olbermann said. "Does the Miss California pageant have a prayer of getting their breast augmentation loan back?"
Musto, who writes a column about gay issues for the Village Voice gave the lawsuit no chance and took a few jabs at Prejean over her breasts.
"They have a better chance of getting the breasts themselves," Musto replied. "But no, that money is spent. By the way, Keith, we were just talking about balloon boy. Now we're talking about balloon girl. I'm so proud of that one. Look, I'm not making fun of her because she's beautiful. Let's face it, she could be a float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. She's very inflated and she's not giving it back. She didn't even keep the receipts."
The dirty little secret about the lawsuit is that K2 Productions Executive Director Keith Lewis has publicly said he harbors sympathies for proponents of gay marriage. And it's evident the lawsuit is an effort to embarrass Prejean for her stance she bases on her religious faith because it references the Bible, stating that "had she heeded the guidance of the Gospel of John, who admonished only those who are without sin to cast stones in judgment, she might have avoided this legal battle."
But Olbermann had a bizarre take on the suit, suggesting there was some equivalence between Prejean's traditional views on marriage and her maintaining that the suit breaches her privacy.
"She says her privacy was breached when the boob job came out," Olbermann said. "Yet, she didn't have a problem sort of positioning herself to get in the privacy of the lives of gay people who wanted to get married. Do you think the irony of that is intelligible to her?"
Musto neglected to give a serious answer and went on mocking Prejean.
"I think she leaves ironing to the help. Oh, irony? I can't believe I went there," Musto said. "No, she's not big on irony. I actually think she has some consistency, or feels she's being consistent, in thinking, well, two large same-size breasts should not be discussed any more than two same-sex genitals. Whatever."
Immediately after the lawsuit was reported, Prejean's attorney Charles LiMandri told Andrew Breitbart's Big Hollywood Web site the suit was part of an effort to attack her reputation.
"This is just the latest installment in K2 Production's ongoing smear campaign against Carrie Prejean. They have proven, once again, that they will use whatever scurrilous accusations they can dredge up - or invent - to try and tarnish Carrie's reputation and her good name. It is both appalling and pathetic to see K2 and their friends in Hollywood try to destroy this young woman simply for standing up for her beliefs."

So says Keith "I can see augmentation from my bathtub" Olbermann. But the fact is, she didn't "position herself." It was Perez Hilton who positioned her (or since he's such a pro at that salacious stuff, should I say, Perez Hilton propositioned her?).

October 21, 2009 - 10:21 ET by KC MulvilleYesterday, we had the stories about how some news outlets were expecting public bailouts because journalism is a public good. It was necessary for the survival of the republic.
Keep that in mind, and then review this segment. It was shown on the most valuable time slot, eight o'clock. This was shown on the admitted most-favored network of the White House. This, my friends, is what these clowns think is indispensable to the survival of liberty ... Keith Olbermann free-associating with the movie critic of the Village Voice about whether a boob lawsuit has a chance.
Oh yeah, sure, I can imagine liberty surviving without that!

October 21, 2009 - 21:08 ET by SkipperMLMThis just goes to show that conservatives are much more informed. If there were a test at all the voting polls to allow people to vote only after they were able to not only identify what the candidate looks like, but where they stand, only the truely informed would be able to vote and there would be a HUGE change in our government. I know this is radical, but I don't think people should be able to vote if the don't know the candidates positions and a good knowledge of how the US government works. That's means they really do not care and should be barred from the privilege. Some actually believe the government makes, instead of takes, money.

This is another one that just baffles me...
October 21, 2009 - 10:43 ET by stage9Like with Palin, this whole Prejean obsession baffles me.
I have never seen people so insane over someone who has a differing point of view than they and attack them with such unmitigated hatred.
I don't like Perez Hilton per se, (who has proved to be much more of an unstable individual than Prejean has been painted) but I don't read of anyone positing unceasing attacks about the man because they oppose his worldview.
There is such an insatiable hatred and an unrelenting "attack" mentality by some of these liberal talking heads that I think that it frankly borders on psychotic.
This reminds me of my grandmother who was always at war with her neighbor. She recorded phone conversations, video taped her taking her trash to the curb; she was always on a constant "sting operation" to catch her neighbor "in the act". What act? Who the heck knows. I'm not sure SHE even knew. We always thought it was just demintia setting in.
This liberal behavior reminds me of that. It's an unstable insanity.

Baffled
October 21, 2009 - 11:42 ET by EllisWyattI'm baffled too. I keep re-reading her entire statement:
"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. You know what, in my country, in my family, I think 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."
No disparaging remarks about gay people. She's not even explicitly saying that gay marriage should be illegal! When this kind of statement is judged as offensive we are doomed.
If you're not outraged at the media, you haven't been paying attention.

October 21, 2009 - 11:45 ET by TomoramaThe typical pussy Bathtub boy mantra, she must be dumb, she shhhhh, is a Conservative.
Is it me or do we have the best looking ladies that actually have a brain as well?
He is the biggest pussy on TV and it has been said he can't seal the deal when it comes to the ladies, what a shock.
Hannity is partisan as all hell, but unlike bathtub boy, he has dissenting voices on ALL of his shows, someone name a dissenting voice on Olbermann ever.
This coward reminds me of the SNL skit where Edie Gorme and Steve Lawrence (look alikes) both ALWAYS say to the look alike Sinatra after EVERYTHING HE SAYS, "Your the greatest Frankie".
Bathtub boy spews his stupidity and Steve Lawrence types all say after "Your exactly right bathtub boy and your the greatest".

This also came up...
October 21, 2009 - 13:53 ET by MCLIJazz...about 15 minutes earlier on "The O'Reilly Factor." It was the last topic of the "Is It Legal" segment. There were no personal attacks from Bill, Lis Wiehl, or Kimberly Guifoyle. And here's the kicker: more people will have watched that segment, and the rest of "The Factor," than Olby and Musto.
An additional kicker: the previous segment on "Countdown" was Worst Persons in the World. In naming Rush Limbaugh Worser, Keith said that "Emotionally, Rush Limbaugh is a 14-year-old boy." This coming from a man that is emotionally a 14-year-old boy.

The privacy of homosexuals is not being questioned. They want to be very public about their supposed rights and have no problems getting in your face to get special rights.

Together Olbermann and Musto have half a brian, no personality and with comments like these obviously do not know that when you are stupid it's best not to broadcast the fact.
If I was a liberal I would be ashamed that this is what is representing me. I know some liberals and they are nice folks unlike this trash.
