This week's fool is Perez Hilton. Perez bit off more than he could chew during this year's Miss USA pageant when he asks Miss California Carrie Prejean a question on same-gender marriage and got the smackdown by her on national TV.
Hello, she's from San Diego. A CONSERVATIVE part of Ca-lee-forn-ia.You seem to be saying that he shouldn't have asked what he did because she was statistically likely (based on where she's from) to spew some bigoted crap. That doesn't make much sense to me. Even if she were from Utah, what difference doesn't make? She's still accountable for her views.
He didn't "get the smackdown" at all. His question was valid. Her answer was prejudiced. How does this reflect negatively on him?
That aside, Hilton's a transphobic misogynist. His claim that he was not representing the gay/Latino community with his sexist slurs isn't actually any kind of defense, even if it were true. He's just generally gross and he should definitely shut up.

[Image]The 2009 NFL Draft is tomorrow, and we'll finally find out who not only becomes the Number One overall pick, but where the rest of the college football studs will (or won't) end up.
Just a heads up, Renee and I have another edition of our blogtalkradio show coming up tomorrow with Crystal Ann Gray and Ethan St. Pierre. We'll be talking about the just concluded Andrade trial. So please join us at 8 PM EDT for what should be an interesting show.
We'll also be making an announcement about two exciting upcoming guests for our radio podcast.
Now, let's find out who earned our Number One pick as the fool of the week.

So what does he do? Insults her, then arrogantly asserts that he's Perez Hilton, he's not a rep of the gay or Latino communities and speaks for himself, and he can be offensive.
Yeah right, you are still gay and Latino, race still matters in America and you insulting a white female is not going to be tolerated. I already had major problems with him for his ad nauseum penchant for insulting cisgender women with the 'trannies' or 'drag queen' epithet.
[Image]Hell, I'm surprised that hasn't come out of his mouth to diss Carrie Prejean with.
But what he has done is made her a right wing star and created another PR disaster for the GL community.
Perez Hilton, shut up fool!
