Pageant Officials Say Miss California Lied in Church - Video
(AP Photo/Denis Poroy)PR rep/spokesperson for the Miss California pageant, Roger Neal, denies that contest officials told Carrie Prejean, the current Ms. Cali, to publicly apologize for the statement she made in which she opposed same-sex marriage during the Miss USA pageant. Neal says that her claims are lies and that contest officials only urged her to use the national exposure to "heal some wounds" and reaffirm that she did not mean to offend anyone. He says, "She chose to stand up in church (the Rock Church in San Diego) and in front of the media and say something that was a lie," Neal said. "No one ever said, 'You must apologize to the gay community,' and no one ever said, 'Don't talk about your faith or your religion.' Those two things never came out of anybody's mouth."
Los Angeles talent agent and gay activist, Keith Lewis,who runs the Miss California pageant, has expressed concern about Prejean's ability to carry out her duties during the remainder of her reign. He says, "Given the fact that Carrie Prejean's first act upon returning to California was to headline five services at a church that promotes homosexuality as both unnatural and abnormal, we stand by our concern for her individual image and look forward to a time in the near future when she can put down her personal agenda."
Below is a video of Miss California's appearance this morning on the Today Show.

Oh my, she is good at playing a victim. I love the whole, why can't we all just get along routine out one side of her mouth and the you are a second class citizen crap out of the other side.
I wish that she would learn how to speak in a public setting. I count 9 "umms" and 5 "you know what"
Did you notice how she kept looking down at her notes. She could not even remember the bullet points that NOM wrote for her. With talents like that she NEVER should have been crowned Miss America, let alone Miss California. Public speaking is as important to that title as is looks.
Yes Steve, but in her new circle, intelligence is not required. Think Palin, or perhaps more accurately, Joe the Plumber.
YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
