Carrie Prajean is back in the news again--briefly. A month ago she had a tussle with pageant officials who wanted to fire her for failure to live up to her contractual obligations as Miss California. Donald Trump, the owner of the pageant, decided to let retain her position. Now a month later, pageant officials say that Miss Prajean is still failing to fulfill her obligations, so they've fired her with The Donald's approval.
But Miss Prajean is blaming gays for her troubles, specifically the sour reaction to her now infamous "opposite marriage" statement. This is a novel approach to employment: don't show up for work and blame gay people if you're fired. Whatever happens, don't accept personal responsibility for your personal behavior; it's always somebody else's fault.
In truth Miss Prajean's fifteen minutes of fame expired a month ago; nobody's much interested in her now. She tried to maneuver a bit of celebrity into a career on the religious right; her irked employers got enough of her antics and told her to get lost. But the pleasures and rewards of victimhood beckon. Miss Prajean says that she's writing a book that will tell all--especially her sufferings and pain and tears. Do you suppose that she'll have a chapter about her silicon boobs?
