Miss California Carrie Prejean is Still Miss California as New Topless Photos Surface

Donald Trump, who owns the Miss USA franchise, made his decision Tuesday to allow Miss California Carrie Prejean to keep her crown, despite her obvious contractual abrogation of taking nude or semi-nude pictures of herself, even when she signed a morality contract with Miss California USA and Miss USA that she had not.

And then she lied about it. Over and over. And just before Donald Trump announced his decision, TMZ posted a slew of other topless photos -- this time including topless photos that showed bared breasts and not just portions of mostly concealed breasts -- that were obviously not taken at the time of the topless photos that started the controversy. She explained these topless photos, which TMZ maintains were taken last year, were taken on a "windy day." Apparently the wind was so strong that it caused her arms to flail in all manner of provocative ways that she couldn't get them near her top to pull it closed or to grasp the buttons on her top. Yet, she was able to caress her hair, which, strangely enough, does not seem to be too windswept. There is also something very phony seeming about the photos, as if she's in front of a large video screen backdrop and not outside at all...

That would be just one more lie she can throw on the heap she's created since this topless photo scandal threatened her Miss California USA crown.

But she has nothing to worry about now. According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Donald Trump has absolved her, the woman who said that the photos weren't semi-nude because she was modeling lingerie. While someone informs her what the term "semi-nude" actually means, they also should inform her that doing talk shows and touting her Christianity makes her look like a hypocrite. But not because of the topless photos. No, because of all the lying.

One of the ten commandments mandates that believers should not commit false witness.

And just how many falsehoods has Miss California Carrie Prejean been caught telling of late? Too many. And that also is an abrogation of her contract, which maintains that she will do nothing to bring about condemnation of the Miss California USA and Miss USA organizations.

But a morality contract apparently has far less weight than a business loan or a merger agreement. Those are contracts that Donald Trump would probably expect to be followed to the letter.

Trump said, "We've made a determination that the pictures taken were acceptable, they were fine, in many cases they were actually lovely pictures, and in some cases they were modeling pictures."

Carrie Prejean, defending herself at the press conference, tearfully said that her grandfather fought in World War II to defend her Constitutional rights. She also said that some of the photos were photoshopped and people like "Judge Number Eight" (she refused to call Perez Hilton, the Miss USA judge that called her a "dumb bitch" on his blog after she had given her stumbling answer to his same-sex marriage question at the 2009 Miss USA Pageant) had waged a vicious campaign against her after asking a "a politically charged question with a hidden personal agenda."

She did not explain, however, how that question was approved by the Pageant committee before it was asked and why she didn't give a better answer. Perhaps it was a windy day in Las Vegas.

Donald Trump also said that Carrie Prejean had rectified some "miscommunications" with the Miss California USA organization, who not only were complaining about her breach of contract, her promoting her own personal agenda by going around the nation defending herself on talk shows, and how she neglected her duties as Miss California and missed scheduled appearances but seemed to find time to make appearances elsewhere in the country.

But when all is said and done, it come down to the simple fact that Donald Trump simply ignored the evidence and decided to let Miss California Carrie Prejean to remain Miss California until her reign is over. Call it a show of grace, of compassion, of leniency, whatever. But you can also call it rewarding a teller of lies.

Carrie Prejean first explained her topless semi-nude photos by saying that they were personal photos, never meant to be seen by the public, taken when she was 17 (implying that internet posters had no right to disseminate an underage photo of her). She said that she had forgotten about it. She said that there was only one, in a one-time only shoot when she dreamed of working for Victoria's Secret. Then she and her reps said they did not fit the definition of semi-nude because she was modeling lingerie. After that, there appeared more photos, which she explained as modeling photos and that the topless photos, the ones showing bare breast, were the result of a "windy day." But none of these explanations and the redefinition of "semi-nude" would have been unnecessary if Carrie Prejean had not signed the morality contract with Miss California USA and Miss USA.

Because signing it made her a liar. There had been semi-nude photos taken of her, despite all her protestations to the contrary. There were more photos than one. She was not 17 in the first topless photos that surfaced of her; she was 21 and the topless photos were taken after her breast augmentation surgery in January of this year. Redefining a term to suit ones needs does not make the new definition correct and is tantamount to obfuscatory and misdirecting, forms of lies. There was no "windy day" to blow the obviously separated tiny top away to expose her breasts in the latest TMZ photo exposures, which were every bit the definition of "semi-nude."

But it was just her word of honor on a printed form. Nothing major. It was just her word of honor in a statement to TMZ that there was only one topless photo. It was her word that said she was underage, that there was just one photo shoot. It was her word that maintains that the latest batch of topless pictures posted by TMZ were taken on a windy day.

And it is her various words that Donald Trump condoned when he allowed her to keep her Miss California USA crown.

And those words, albeit naked lies, are protected by the Constitution of the United States' First Amendment. It is what her grandfather fought for in World War II.

He fought so she could breach contracts and lie and wrap herself in the Constitution and his memory.

Oh, the pride the family must feel for Miss California Carrie Prejean...
