  • MEANWHILE IN STATE LEGISLATIVE NEWS: “MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A resolution has been introduced in the Alabama House that praises Miss USA contestant [Miss California] Carrie Prejean for speaking out against gay marriage during Sunday night’s televised pageant.” Man, it’s been an uphill climb for Alabama ever since slavery ended, huh?

    They sure do throw a rockin tea party, though: http://teablogging.net/2009/04/16/more-love-from-alabama/

    Also: Who’s taking wagers on when that CA harpy is going to show up as Fox News “fucknutz correspondent” or whatevs.

  2. Dave J. says at 6:10 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    What’s the over/under on months until this chick is a lead anchor on FOXNews?

  3. Dave J. says at 6:10 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    StephanieInCA: Gah, jinx.

    Has anyone told them that California wasn’t on the Confederate side in the War of Northern Aggression?

  5. Zbigniew Chrysler says at 6:11 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    Can you imagine being from there?

  6. Texan Bulldoggette says at 6:11 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    It’s mildly amusing that the guy who introduced it is named Love. Maybe he’s just trying to score with a chick; there can’t be that many attractive women in AL.

  7. youknew says at 6:11 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    The resolution was introduced Tuesday by Republican Rep. Jay Love of Montgomery.

    Mr. Love is the love nazi. Showing no love for the gays.

  8. Scandinavian Fetus says at 6:12 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    Alabama is still a state?

    I though that it was just a concept memorialized in collectible plates.

  9. youknew says at 6:13 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    youknew: No Love for YOU! Next?! Interracial couples and the blacks

  10. wheelie says at 6:14 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    As a conservative Republican, I object to the Miss USA show featuring questions about gay marriage. I also object to the ‘adult females only’ rule.

  11. Mr Blifil says at 6:15 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    After which time exactly zero Alabama residents will get to bone her.

  12. WagTehGod says at 6:18 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    “We live in a land where you can choose slavery or opposite slavery. And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a slavery should be between a master and a slave. No offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised. Also.”

  13. Kev-O-Tron says at 6:19 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    You’re know you’ve gone through the looking glass when the state of Alabama praises anyone from California for anything.

  14. Accordion-o-rama says at 6:25 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    Alabama Facts on File

    State Capitol: Montgomerey
    State Nickname: The Yellow Hammer state (relates to Chinese railroad workers)
    State Slogan: Get ‘er done!
    State Love Position: stable

  15. grevillea says at 6:27 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    You see, people? We let the gheyz marry each other and now chunky heiresses like Meghan McCain can’t score a gold-diggin’ closet-case hubby. We gotta defend traditional gay marriage, bitchez!

  16. thursdaynext27 says at 6:30 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    Can any statement starting with “A resolution has been introduced in the Alabama* House that…” ever be good?

    (* - can substitute with any other state from Texas to Virginia)

  17. Will work for shoes says at 6:31 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    Kev-O-Tron: Wonder if they’d be so quick with the praise if she wasn’t WASP.

  18. WadISay says at 6:32 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    After seeing Prejean, I am no longer so impressed by that prehistoric sea creature thing with “teeth the size of cucumbers.”

  19. sevenrepeat says at 6:35 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    being a resident of california, i wanted to kick that dumb blow up doll in the teef…but i figured that she’s stupid; so let alabama have her!

  20. 19kevin8 says at 6:41 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    Did they pass a resolution praising Miss South Carolina in 2007, too? Also.

  21. shortsshortsshorts says at 6:41 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    California’s counter-resolution will be to recognize that Alabama is in fact a State… even then I think we’re giving them too much.

  22. chascates says at 6:42 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    I would thank the good people of Alabama for making Texas look good but I fear our own governor will waste no time in his affirmation of said motion.

  23. bitchincamaro says at 6:42 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    youknew: Silly libtards. Tuesday is opposite day in AL.

    That’s all I got.

  24. Custerwolf says at 6:50 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    Being a backwoods hicklit with no teevee, I just now saw my first pictures of Carrie Prewashedjeans. I don’t know how hard she had to work to get that lovely body (Ma and Pa did all my sweaty work for me by passing on their non-fat genes), but I’m guessing she had to spend most of her lifetime working to aquire that much stupid.

  25. Texan Bulldoggette says at 6:51 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    I would think AL would have more important business than recognizing some chick from CA. Aren’t they poor & unemployed with crappy hwys–is this the most pressing business they have?

  26. One Yield Regular says at 6:52 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    You’d think that the civil rights history of a state like Alabama might give them pause before they loaded up the truck with bigotry and drove it all drunk-like around the nation like the last time.

  27. TeddyS says at 7:07 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    Now California’s legislature has to support Rachel Philippona, Miss Alabama, although she is not blonde and therefore ineligible for employment at Fox News.

  28. Custerwolf says at 7:11 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    One Yield Regular: Right fucking on.

  29. Jukesgrrl says at 7:28 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    Texan Bulldoggette: That’s how they got poor & unemployed with crappy hwys. Paying attention to someone else’s business.

  30. Can we get the LA supreme court to spring into action now. It would be great to make everyone in the state to think they have become ‘dirty’ (well dirtier) from all the possibilities from the gayz loving.

  31. MzNicky says at 7:38 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    Hey now y’all, we here in the glorious border state of Tennessee are GRATEFUL that Alabama exists, not to mention Mississippi, because at least we don’t look as fucking retarded all the time, usually.

  32. Mr Blifil says at 8:04 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    One Yield Regular: C’mon. There’s folks in their sixties and seventies around those parts still slappin’ each other on the back every now and again as if to say “we showed that nigra reel good…”

  33. A Better American Than YOU says at 8:12 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    Sigh. Montgomery is home of the Southern Poverty Law Center. A guy from Alabama started Habitat for Humanity. Do morons in other states ever introduce dumb-ass resolutions? I’m thinking someone from Minnesota, say Michelle Bachmann, might be capable. And California seems to be the place they beat the shit out of Rodney King and didn’t the cops shoot recently shoot a brother in a subway?

    How’s that hypocrisy thing working out?

  34. a world record here, folks. folks in alabammy found something nice to say about someone from California.

  35. A Better American Than YOU says at 8:29 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    Gee, that search didn’t take long. Those people in Minnesota sure are stupid. “In response to suggestions by China, Russia, and other countries around the world calling on the International Monetary Fund to explore a multi-national currency, U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann (MN-6) has introduced a resolution that would bar the dollar from being replaced by any foreign currency.”

    Wonder if anybody from Pennsylvania, say Rick Santorum, ever introduced any resolutions.

  36. A Better American Than YOU says at 8:32 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    azw88: Well I never cared all that much for Nixon, Reagan, Manson, O.J., or Duke Cunningham, but I’m sure there is someone I could say something nice about. Any suggestions?

  37. PerhapsSo says at 8:33 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    Even if you agree with her point of view, she still sounded stupid. Alabama is just praising her for pissing off the gheys.

  38. A Better American Than YOU says at 8:37 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    PerhapsSo: “Jay Love of Montgomery” is not Alabama. Moran.

  39. engulfedinflames says at 9:27 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    and michele bachman is hardly representative of mn. i’m pretty sure she’s not even a mammal.

  40. Brendan M. says at 9:55 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    EnBuenOra: They’re rewriting history.

    Rachel Maddow did a segment on it.

  41. heroinmule says at 10:12 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    Funny because the University of Alabama is CRAWLING with southern queens. Alabama is definitely the gayest state in the south.

  42. A Better American Than YOU says at 10:29 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    heroinmule: Alabama made Truman Capote the man he was — absolutely fabulous!

  43. Hunger Tallest Palin says at 10:50 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    And for failing to speak out against equal marriage rights, Miss Alabama will be burned at the stake.

  44. Hagar77 says at 11:21 pm, April 22nd, 2009

    Maybe it’ll be a wakeup call for Carrie Greenjeans. I mean, anytime [i]Alabama[/i] says “Right on!” it’s a clear sign that you need to take your shit straight back to the drawing board.

  45. what tha? says at 10:22 am, April 23rd, 2009

    If she is unhappy with her gay marriage, she needs to pipe down- you don’t hear other contestants complaining about their marriages.

  46. what tha? says at 10:49 am, April 23rd, 2009

    Maybe it’s the laxatives or the silicone talking, but this girl is an oracle. A big-hair gal in stilletos and a swimsuit giving us insight into snoring and the marital sock problems? It doesn’t get any better than this!

  47. bamaboy says at 12:35 pm, April 23rd, 2009

    Oh Nooooooooooooooooo! Not Alabama in the news again!

    At least the guy who introduced the legislation was a Republican. Alabamians may be stupid, but there is nothing more stupid than a Alabama Republican.

    Statehood for Puerto Rico NOW!
