Trump Finally Fires Prejean

Anti-gay bimbo Carrie Prejean has belatedly been fired by Donald Trump and lost her Miss California crown. From the media coverage, Trump finally had enough of Prejean's attitude that she could do whatever she wants including ignoring her contractual duties as Miss California. It would be wonderful if she'd simply fade away from the scene but based on her past behavior we may not be that lucky. I will not be surprised if she doesn't try to depict herself as a Christian martyr somehow. She and the anti-gay Christianist forces truly deserve each other. Here are some highlights from the Los Angeles Times:
*
Donald Trump has told TMZ that he has finally relented and has given the go-ahead to fire Carrie Prejean. Here's the official word. K2 Productions, the independent producers of the Miss California USA pageant, under license from Miss Universe, mention continued breach-of-contract issues as the reason for Prejean's firing.

"This was a business decision, based solely on contract violations," Keith Lewis, executive director of K2 Productions, said in the docs. "After our press conference in New York, we had hoped we would be able to forge a better working relationship. However, since that time it has become abundantly clear that Carrie has no desire to fulfill her obligations under our contract and work together.” Even Trump says that Carrie just wouldn't do the job she agreed to do and she behaved like a B-word to everyone but him. No, not "bigot," the other B-word.

TMZ quotes one of her e-mails: "You do not cooperate with me ... you pick and chose [sic] the the [sic] things YOU want me to do. That is not happening anymore. Stop speaking for me. I have MY own voice." And BTW, the Donald doesn't think her bad attitude has anything to do with her stand on homosexuality.

She'll end up as one of the brain dead hosts on Fox and Friends in the mornings, I'm sure. I can't help but wonder if the good people over at FOX realize that the name of their morning show is very similar to queer German film Fox and His Friends by the late, great director Rainer Werner Fassbinder. I hope they don't know. I find it more amusing that way. lol

i suspect that keeping Prejean on the Miss CA payroll was becoming such a PR hassle that pageant officials took the first chance to let her go
