An open letter to NBC and Donald Trump

An open letter to NBC and Donald Trump

I have been watching this fiasco unfold about Carrie Prejean. I can not believe the retaliation that this poor girl is made to suffer. A judge that called her answer "polarizing". Pageant directors who tried to humiliate her with news (true or false) of a breast enhancement that she denies. Statements from those same pageant directors about her opportunism. All this because she gave an honest answer to a question from a judge with an agenda.

What were the pageant officials thinking when they invited a militant homosexual with his own agenda to judge this disaster. Mario Lavendiera is a man on a mission. His biggest claim to fame is a website where he draws mustaches and cocaine on pictures of celebrities. This is a man who's command of the english language is so deep and so broad that the best insult he could come up with is to call her a f***ing b*tch. His assesment of poor Miley Cyrus is "sl*t" I'm less then impressed with who you chose to select the ultimate girl next door. That's what this competition is supposed to be about, the perfect girl next door who wants the American dream, home, family, career, isn't it.

Your own pageant directors are quoted on MSNBC as saying she forgot her commitment to the people of California. Lets look at that one shall we. Its the people of California who voted to ban gay marriage by saying yes to proposition 8. Tell me exactly how she would be representing the people of California by denying her religious beliefs and speaking out in favor of the minority. Shanna Moakler and Keith Lewis should be released from their duties ASAP because they have an agenda to humiliate her and make her suffer because she wouldn't speak the party line.

Moakler and Lewis state she has gone beyond her right to her opinion and shown her oportunistic agenda. It wasn't Prejean who started this whole thing, it was the Miss USA pageant officials and its owners for not thinking that a man like Lavendiera with a very known and public agenda wouldn't use time on national television to his own advantage and for that agenda. He openly said he took points from her not because she was inarticulate, but because she gave the wrong answer.

In the 40's when someone wouldn't speak the party line we called it the holocaust. In the 80 when it was the few telling the majority how live, we called it apartied. What do you want to call this? I call it discusting. Perhaps its time to fold the pageants. Since the owners and directors of the Miss USA pageant and its source (state) pageants have blurred the lines between current events and political activism, maybe we should be rethinking what we want from our young girls. Mr Trump, would you have wanted Ivanka to forsake the values you taught her for some silly prize? Why let your staff punish Prejean for not giving up on hers? And for the record I did support the concept of gay civil unions. I'm rethinking that now
