Carrie Prejean Tells Hannity She’s “Not Perfect” – You Know, Sex Tape

video
» 7 comments

prejean_11-10Carrie Prejean gave an exclusive interview to her favorite cable news program – Sean Hannity‘s Fox News show – last night, and she had a lot to talk about.

Prejean has a tell-all book out this week, and there are rumors of a sex tape floating around. Yeah, a sex tape.

The first step by Hannity was to establish exactly what was on this supposed sex tape. “I was all by myself, I was sending a boyfriend at the time who I loved and cared about video of me,” Prejean said. Ok – solo, so…not exactly a sex tape, but it doesn’t fit her established M.O. either.

> Update: Well that wasn’t much of an exclusive – she was on the Today show this morning as well.

Prejean has a book out this week, “Still Standing,” (which has a cover that looks a lot like Sarah Palin‘s) and Hannity has a reason to be excited for its success – he wrote the forward. Here’s what you’ll find in this new publication. “People have heard bits of pieces of the liberal media’s version of it but basically its for Americans who believe their beliefs are under attack,” she said.

Also, there’s advice for young girls. “Nothing is private anymore, nothing is private, with Facebook, with MySpace, with all that going on you have to be so careful,” said Prejean. Also, apparently with solo sex tapes.

Hannity, presumably to cheer her up, tried to put himself in her shoes. “If there were pictures of me, I’ll be honest, I’d be melting and falling apart,” he said. (Wait, there’s one picture of Hannity that might have some people falling apart.)

Look, Prejean has gone through the media wringer, and sure, some of that is self-inflicted. But a point driven home by Hannity is a good one – she’s 22-years-old. “I make mistakes just like all of us make mistakes,” said Prejean during the interview, and that’s true. But she’s working from a standpoint that mistakes like this aren’t in her repertoire. Will she stick around the media spotlight? We’ll see – Joe the Plumber hasn’t exactly disappeared, and Prejean has that extra something that Joe never will.

Here’s the full interview:

    “But she’s working from a standpoint that mistakes like this aren’t in her repertoire.”

    How? Just because she believes marriage is between a man and woman? She was called a c*nt for the same comments Obama has made.

    you don’t believe that people can make mistakes when they are young, and they can grow up, realize their mistakes, and set their life on a different course?

    Carrie wouldn’t be who she is –an upstanding Christian moralist who gives speeches at the value-voters summit–if she hasn’t made at least one sex tape.

    The problem here is not Prejean’s. She is exactly what she appears to be – a model/beauty pageant contestant. The problem is the level of expectation put on her by the conservative movement.

    Anyone can make a mistake, and that is exactly what this looks like – a mistake compounded by a greedy ex (can anyone spell Levi Johnston?)

    Hannity is no help to her with his endless moralizing and such.

    Apparently, since Miss Prejean is now claiming to have been 17 when she filmed the video, Harvey Levin is in possession of child pornography and her former boyfriend is accused of distributing it.

    Where’s Chris Hansen, when you need him.

    Then Mr. Levin needs to turn it over right now and reveal the source of the video.

    This was NOT a SEX TAPE! Read the damn book!

    A lot of people make mistakes, but when they’re not in the spotlight like her. Then you’re much less likely to ever hear anything about it, but just because she is…people want to bash her. I’m not trying to justify it, but who am I to throw the 1st stone. I’m not perfect, & none of you are either. At least she’s trying to learn from it, & help others to not make the same mistake.
