David Sessions says enough already:
THE CARRIE Prejean show has gone far enough. If it had concluded with her brief, inarticulate expression of solidarity with the traditional definition of marriage, and maybe some natural follow-up interviews, I would have nothing to say about her. I’d even give her props for having the courage to say something unpopular—particularly to a loathsome bully like Perez Hilton—with little idea that it would boost her career the way it has. Opposing gay marriage doesn’t make one a contemptible bigot. But her subsequent rise to evangelical superstardom? This is going nowhere and helps absolutely no one except Carrie Prejean.

You have a crush on David Sessions, don’t you, Rich? Don’t think I didn’t notice that the Derek Webb aside from above is really just a camouflaged link to Patrol too. We’re on to you and your infatuation!
p.s. David Sessions is mine and will never go out with you.

That’s Right
@The Dane – Gosh, now I’m blushing!
For some reason, a lot of Patrol stuff has been catching my eye lately. And in my attempt to have at least one aside every two hours, I have to use everything I can get!
Plus, I mean this stuff is just freaking awesome!
What about the latest scandal with her topless photos? Will evangelicals still stand behind her then?

Corinne,
I just watched a Daily Show clip on that whole fiasco. Wowza, what a mess. But then again, I’m not sure topless photos should be much more offensive and antithetical to our Faith than beauty pageants in general. As Jon Steward points out, the miss America pageant does have a swimsuit section. Objectification is objectification.
Seriously. Objectification is objectification. The hypocrisy of the pageant system is cute, if nothing else. How is any of this news? How was it ever news to begin with?
