Carrie Prejean fired from job as Miss California

Okay, that has to hurt.

In this economy, I'm not exactly keen on celebrating the firing of anyone, no matter how massive a tool they may present themselves as being or how horrible they may or may not be. But the news today that Carrie Prejean, who famously turned her position as Miss California into a soapbox for anti-gay rhetoric with a flair that Anita Bryant herself might find impressive, has been fired by the man who once defended her is meriting at least a tiny confetti-toss at my desk. (whee.)

Keep in mind that Prejean was not fired for her documented passion for "opposite marriage", nor should she have been. Lord knows there are bigger haters out there in more powerful positions. She was finally let go by dollmaster Donald Trump for her failure to fulfill her pageant-waving duties, whatever they might have been.

So pardon me for not feeling terribly bad about the news. I guess I won't be winning Miss Congeniality anytime soon. And hey ... on the brightside, she got a sweet new rack out of the deal, right?
