Carrie Prejean's Sex Tapes Bare GOP Hypocrisy

Supporting gay marriage is worse than starring in porn?

(Newser) – How come conservatives are willing to overlook Carrie Prejean’s sex tapes, but won’t accept Meghan McCain’s support for gay marriage? McCain watched in disbelief as Sean Hannity recently asked Prejean if she was “in love with her boyfriend” when she made the tape. "I’m sorry, why would being in love matter when it comes to filming yourself in a sexual context?" she asks.

“Making a sex tape is never acceptable,” McCain opines in the Daily Beast. It will eventually get out, and could ruin your career. “I know I’ve learned my lesson after posting a now-notorious photograph of myself on Twitter—and I had all of my clothes on.” Apparently, “as long as you oppose gay marriage, filming yourself having sex is taken more lightly,” says McCain. “Does anyone else see the hypocrisy in this kind of thinking?” Maybe, McCain muses, if she were against gay marriage, the pundits would give her a break, too.

"inappropriate" Carrie. That will be making a sex tape and then preaching God, Hypocrite?

McCain let her ego over-ride logic and she pushed to fast for the conservatives. Prejean---is an idiot, kind of reminds me of the blonde bimbo on the view, the "survivor" slut who showed her true colors on the show and then now tries to reclaim her viriginity and her christian values like she had them all along?

(NEWSER) - Jose Fidelino has a confession: He’s to blame for Al and Tipper Gore’s breakup, all seven of Larry King’s divorces, and the Sandra Bullock-Jesse James split. “No, I am not a 50-something masseuse or a tattoo model with a thing for Nazi outfits,” he writes in Time . “I'm just a gay man who's about to celebrate his second wedding anniversary. Apparently, my marriage is a menace.” If gay marriage endangers the institution of marriage, Fidelino reasons, then he's one big homewrecker. More»
