The Top Story: Now that she's the former Miss California, how is the media covering it?

Carrie Prejean was pushed back into the news cycle when she was fired from her job as Miss California yesterday for not living up to her beauty queen duties. While the story -- and the potential for hilarity -- is still developing, there are already a few media moments worth noting. Let's take a look, shall we?

Larry King Live

I usually don't care for Larry King's interviews but I have to give him credit for trying to cover the different sides of the story, letting Prejean's pastor dispute claims that the firing was over her job performance, followed by Miss California pageant director Keith Lewis getting to explain his experience (as the guy who actually had to manage Prejean until he just couldn't take it anymore.)

"I'm a Right Wing Tool... Get Me Out of Here!"

Always quick with a satirical response, Huffington Post blogger Andy Borowitz suggested that Prejean could move on to a reality show about conservative talking heads facing tests of their right-wing sensibilities. So instead of having to endure bugs crawling over them, they have to sit through a Michael Moore film festival. That could actually be entertaining.

Julie Chen talks with Tami Farrell

Since the new Miss California, Tami Farrell, didn't get a chance to speak on Larry King Live, I think it's worth noting Farrell's appearance on The Early Show. After hearing too many attempts by Prejean to make questions fit her prepared talking points (resulting in interviews that sounded like Prejean was actually testing a new version of ELIZA), it's a relief to hear a Miss California who can hold a conversation that, well, sounds like a conversation.

Carrie Prejean: Best Person in the World

Olbermann brought up Prejean's firing on his facetious "Best Persons in the World" segment, saying Prejean got the "Best Comeuppance" and then wondering why anyone paid so much attention to her opinion about anything. However, as much as I approve of the snark, I also enjoyed that Olbermann included footage of Billy Bush talking to Prejean about her firing. When Prejean tries to turn it into another excuse to claim that the world is just full of Carrie haters, save for Donald Trump, Bush quickly responds with, "And he gave his blessing to terminate you." (It almost makes me forget about how Bush annoyed me on Larry King Live.) Meanwhile, I'm thrilled that Olbermann realizes you don't have to throw around insults like "dumb bitch" when you have clips that demonstrate her lack of intellect.

Jezebel translates the Lewis/Prejean emails for you

In response to Fox News getting the emails between Lewis and Prejean, Gawker media empire blog Jezebel delivered the snark by translating Lewis' professional tone and Prejean's, uhm, less carefully worded messages. I know those emails are going to be a goldmine of snark and this is a great first step. Basically, Prejean's emails reveal the former Miss California as that nightmare co-worker who just scans your emails, looking for a reason to turn things confrontational.

I have a feeling this story isn't going to go away for at least a couple more days, who knows what kind of goldmine of funny will come next?
