Carrie Prejean vs. Larry King [merged threads]

And I disagree Diogenes. She said It’s a confidential agreement and I’m not allowed to talk about that. If that was in fact, the first Larry heard about it, he should have dropped it then and there. The fact that she believes that she’s not permitted to discuss it is all that’s important. Was she overly cautions? Neither you nor I have any way of knowing that.

Then the first call the screener lets thru is a gay guy asking her something about gay marriage.

Seeing as how that issue is the only reason anyone’s ever heard of her, that seems like a pretty appropriate line of questioning. Nor was it an unfair question: “What would you tell a gay friend who said he wanted to get married?” That’s the crux of it, no?

What other subject could there possibly be to talk to the twit about?

There is no evidence, nor (as far as I can see) even an assertion by Prejean that they had an agreement as to whether she would be asked why she settled, and there is only her own word that she had an agreement not to take calls. I don’t buy that she had an agreement for either (especially the calls), but I don’t really care even if she did, because agreements like that are made to be pissed on.

What’s confidential about it? They had a pretrial conference where she complained about her religious views being disrespected. The lawyer just turned around a laptop with her sex tape running on it. Her religious stance is a farce. She was looking for a payday and a chance to roast the “liberal” press. She has been a very poorly chosen tool of the righties. They should run fast and far from her.

According to her, King had agreed not to talk about the mediation, and not to take any phone calls. That seems unlikely to me, but that’s her story.

Supposedly she was initially asking for a lot of money but settled almost straight away once she was shown a copy of a video of her pleasuring herself. That would have been shown in court if she continued to press the case.

This is obviously what King was hinting at.

Why?

He’s a friggin’ talk show host. Seems to me he was doing his job in trying to prod her to talk about stuff.

And this coming from someone who thinks Larry King is a tool.

You know, you could save yourself a lot of effort (and the SDMB a lot of pixels) if you just replied to every thread with “Conservatives can do no wrong. Liberals are big mean poopyheads. No matter what.”

She also claimed she didn’t have a sex tape until confronted with it.

Merged DiosaBellissima’s thread (started in MPSIMS) with Morganstern’s (in the Pit) because of the similar content and tone.

If she was trying to imply that she was forbidden to talk about why she settled, then she was lying.

Then she denied it was her in the tape. Then she lied about how old she was in the tape. Then she lied about it being the only one.

That’s what makes it hard to believe she had any agreement about taking calls. Not only does she have no credibility to begin with, but she’s claiming she was claiming she was given an agreement LK never gives to anyone. She’s full of shit.

Wait … what? Carrie Prejean is a Visitor?! :eek:

Also, perhaps she was just taking the safe route – rather than risk misinterpreting the agreement or saying too much, she’s just taking the easy course and refusing to answer any questions about it. Very similar to a lawyer who won’t answer any personalized legal questions at a cocktail party; not that he couldn’t, just that it’s too much of a minefield to pick and choose on the fly. (Didn’t we have a Pit thead meltdown about this?)

It’s fine for her to refuse to answer, but there was nothing inappropriate about LK asking the question. Why the hell does she think she gets on shows like that at all, if not to answer the questions about the Miss America flap?

Hey, if she didn’t want to talk about it, she didn’t have to. But also didn’t have to go on a live national call-in show.

Yes, clearly the liberal media is attempting to slience her by having her as a guest on * TheToday Show*, The View, and Larry King Live.

Oh, how much more suppression can this poor girl stand?

See, that last line is where you lose people. The fact that all broadcast journalists are liars and will creatively edit interviews to make their subjects look good (or bad) does not mean it’s alright.

You don’t know that, and Larry hasn’t accused her of lying on that point, as far as I can tell. Is she a habitual liar? Sure. That doesn’t mean she’s always lying.

Hijack: why is it inappropriate for Miss America to have a sex tape and let people take pictures of her tits? The primary qualification for the job is looking good strutting around in a bikini, for fuck’s sake.

It’s not inappropriate at all. I wish they’d all do it.

Can I have her front?
