A Note from PadSquad Loxie and PadSquad Lindsey:

Hello Gaslamp-Ballers! We first of all wanted to say: Go Padres! Its been a great run so far and we are so happy to  be back in the "swing" of things.

We also wanted to say "thank you" for supporting our own PadSquad Carrie in the Miss USA pageant. We are trying to do what we do best and get all our FrairFaithfuls rallying for Carrie Prejean to be the 2009 Miss USA. The support already has been amazing, but with the competition so soon we thought we'd try to rally just a little harder!

On the Miss USA site, you can vote for your favorite contestant and we want to put Carrie at #1 before the telecast, so we need your help!
Also you can become a "FAN" of Miss California USA 2009 on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Miss-California-USA-2009/74832777984

A few of us will also be joining the OpenThead, so we hope to see you there!!

THANKS SO MUCH!

Associated Press: Miss North Carolina USA crowned Miss USA 2009

If there is a YouTube moment from Sunday's show, it may be Miss California's answer to a question about legalizing same-sex marriage. The tall blonde stumbled some before giving an answer that appeared to please the pageant audience.

"We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage," Prejean said. "And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised."

Some in the audience cheered, others booed.

Poll Closed Already?

Carrie has a passion for people with special needs, whether it’s a child with a disability or a grown adult living homeless on the streets.

Better not let Wiggins see that.

BIG controvery already!

Oh no! I don’t watch these things, but once I realized it was the Pad Squad gal in the finals, I was following it online and when the video went up…OUCH! Hoo boy. Not as bad as Miss “the Iraq” and “such as” from a prior year, but…..it certainly cost her the crown.

What a rough question

But she answered in sincerely and thoroughly. You’re going to piss off 1/2 of the country either way you answer but she was really classy in explaining her opinion.

I don’t agree with her necessarily, but that doesn’t mean she should have been penalized for having the opinion that 46/50 states agree with.

by soulSD on Apr 19, 2009 8:16 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I agree

I mean, she stumbled with the whole ‘oppisite’ thing, but she gave an honest answer in the nicest way possible. what more can you ask for? tough luck I guess.

Guess Carrie got 2nd place over all

this isn’t live NBC! East Coast Bias!

by jbox on Apr 19, 2009 8:23 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Wow

just saw that video on Perez Hilton. I really admire her for her honesty. I think she knew before she even opened her mouth that her answer will come with backlash from America, but what really makes me mad is that Perez Hilton would put her in that position and would use that answer against her and plaster it all over his website. I think he definitely knew what he was doing.

And what in the world? Why is he even a judge on Miss America??

"i kinda feel like nevin and klesko were some fling we (the padres) had in the past and now realize were a bad idea and are embarrassed about."

Miss USA

I think they still try to make Miss America a “scholarship contest.” Miss USA is purely sex appeal. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Denial. It's a sweet sweet place; come join me....

Can you say set up?

Donald Trump running the show, it just all seems to set up to me. Perez Hilton a judge, questioning the contestant who went to a Christian College, asks the most loaded question he could… BS!

by Rob619 on Apr 19, 2009 10:29 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Perez Hilton

is, to quote him, “a dumb bitch”

DODGERS, RED SOX, YANKEES, BRONCOS, PATRIOTS and RAIDERS all suck. Especially the Dodgers.

I cringed when she said

“in my country” – lol, whoops.

Now I’m seeing “liberals” and “conservatives” fighting about it on twitter. So awesome.

I’ll just hang this here:

Yes, that was the cringe line for me too

Glad someone else reacted the same way I did ;-) I would certainly not go so far as calling her a ‘dumb bitch’, but yeah, that was a very clumsy way to answer that question no matter which side you fall on in the debate. I felt like she needed to take a deep breath and think a moment before answering.

by Christina on Apr 20, 2009 3:24 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

As if a beauty pangeant isn't controversial enough

we’ll kick it up a notch with questions like that.

She wasn’t allowed to win because she offended that little bitch Perez hilton

Who asks questions about gay marriage at a freakin pageant???
