The line about this not being the totally worst mistake she’d ever made and the masturbation behind the Bible didn’t tip you off? 🙂 ---

Who do you think wanted the sex tape to be with held? If it is part of a confidentiality agreement, it was on her part and her lawyers trying to salvage her. It is not working. ---

I wonder how her book is going to sell. I think even the anti-gay marriage folk are starting to reach for their car keys at this point for fear the tape of her going on a topless shooting spree in a crackhouse is just around the corner. ---

It might prohibit Miss California from talking about it, but why would they care if SHE did? Then that would indicate the lawyer lied, right? As for your previous reply to me: I still think it unlikely that they just happened to find these tapes after she said something bad. And I don’t put it past them to have not really cared about it until she said something that made them look bad. ---

I’m surprised that it’s approaching midnight eastern time on Sunday and the tape(s) have yet to be released. How would you like to be Ms. Prejean’s lawyer/advisor? “Well, Carrie, the tape is coming out soon whether you like it or not. You can either make a million bucks by authorizing it’s release or you can make nothing and be dropped like a hot potato by all the people who have been supporting you and paying your bills for the last six months.” It’s obvious that her whole Christian conservative persona is a facade. Will she embrace her dark side and just go for the money? Tough call. ---

My guess is that she’ll try to find some way to take the payoff but keep it a secret. She’ll take the money and then adopt a stance of “not commenting” on the tapes, or on Vivid. ---

My guess is the stances she takes on tape will speak for themselves. ---

If Carrie has sensitive ears she can hear the orchestra striking up the song _Nowadays_ (from CHICAGO- “Ladies and gentlement, Miss Roxie Hart says goodnight…”) but more likely she thinks it’s just the overture. ---
