Looks like [she’s fired](http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,525716,00.html) anyway: > [@](#): > > “This was a decision based solely on contract violations,” Keith Lewis, executive director of K2 Productions, said in the release. "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.” > … > > “I told Carrie she needed to get back to work and honor her contract with the Miss California Organization and I gave her the opportunity to do so,” Trump said in the same release. “Unfortunately it just doesn’t look like it is going to happen and I offered Keith my full support in making this decision.” ---

Well, that knocks most of a year off the time before she does her first porno. This is a whole new ballgame; the odds for those who have earlier dates have suddenly improved. ---

First Anne Frank, now Carrie Prejean. When will the inhumanity end? ---

Dammit, Prejean’s grandfather fought in WW2 to protect our right to ignore contractual obligations! This is UNAMERICAN! ---

I think it’s great that we live in a land where you can choose employment, or… opposite employment… ---

> [@Revtim](#): > > Dammit, Prejean’s grandfather fought in WW2 to protect our right to ignore contractual obligations! This is UNAMERICAN! Which means her porn movie will start with her walking out in front of a huge American flag in her pageant regalia, which she’ll then strip out of and invite guys in WW2 costumes to “get a reminder of why we fight!”. “No dumb son of a bitch ever won a war by marrying another dumb son of a bitch! He won it by making it with a hot blooded chick, and creating babies who would go to the next war!” ---

After allowing her to continue, the miss California people would have been best served by her finishing the year and doing a good job. Having to fire her, makes them look like they made a mistake. I read she was a spoiled brat and was very hard to work with. It sounds logical. ---

> [@ArchiveGuy](#): > > [Her response](http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/cprejean/2009/06/11/official-statement-by-miss-carrie-prejean/). Someone’s not telling the truth… I wonder what this line means: > [@](#): > > I worked in good faith to meet my responsibilities as Miss California USA. I have met every scheduled appearance, and responsibility, as recently as May 31st. Does that mean the 31st was her last engagement, or the last one she actually met? Cause that probably makes a difference. Whatever, she’s played. Cue the “Roxy Hart says goodnight” music and then give her to the troops. ---

I was just listening to an interview with her and she said “people need to understand that tolerance is a two-way street.” I almost fell off my lollerskates. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/contestant-loses-miss-usa-for-not-being-liberal-enough/493798.md?page=14)
