The Liar's Crown

We can now sleep easier at night. Carrie Prejean will be allowed to keep her crown as Miss California. Donald Trump accepted her explanation that her topless photos were just lingerie shoots when she was a teen-ager.

However, now racier photos were released that she earlier claimed did not exist. The new photos are not from behind, but clearly show her breasts and nipples (the news outlets that released them covered up the nipples). There is no lingerie being advertised here and it seems that she was 20, not 17 as she claimed, when she posed (before her breast enhancement).

Now I understand that she probably lost the Miss USA crown because of Perez Hilton's totally unwarranted response to her answer to the gay marriage question. And these photos may indeed have been released to mock her Christian confession.

However, the girl is a liar. She signed a form stating that no photos like this exist. 1st lie. Then she stated that there were no more shots other than the lingerie shot from behind. 2nd lie.

Why in the world is she being held up as some kind of Christian role model? She is attempting to make a living and a career, not on talent or ability or hard work, but on her looks--both natural and enhanced. Do we want our young girls to emulate her in strutting her body before talent judges or a camera lens? And do we condone her lies?

Let Ms Prejean return to the scrap-heap of obscurity where she belongs. Let her go back to school and finish her degree and become a teacher. And stop holding her up as a defender of the faith. Let's reserve that for people who are actually doing something for God out there.
