The fallen Miss California Carrie Prejean has signed up with right-wing publisher Regnery to write, um, speak into a recorder for a ghost writer. Media Matters:
Disgraced Miss California USA Carrie Prejean has landed herself a book deal with Regnery Publishing, the notorious right-wing publishing house.
I’m sure Prejean, the darling de jour among Christian conservatives and the right-wing press, will feel right at home with Regnery. After all, Regnery is a major hub in the right-wing noise machine that's been whitewashing her stance on “opposite marriage” for months.
Prejean's sure-to-be lightweight tome, a memoir(!!) called “Still Standing,” will fit right in with the conspiracy-laden publishing house. Regnery has produced some stunning works of fantasy marketed as “investigative journalism” —
The most infamous of the Regnery titles is undoubtedly Gary Aldrich's Unlimited Access, which included such “revelations” as lesbian encounters in the White House's basement showers, Hillary Clinton ordering miniature crack pipes to hang on the White House Christmas tree, and the claim–backed by anonymous sources–that Clinton made frequent trips to the nearby Marriott to shack up with a mistress “who may be a celebrity.”
That last bit helped catapult Unlimited Access to the top of The New York Times's best-seller list, though Aldrich soon revealed to The New Yorker's Jane Mayer that the Marriott story was “not quite solid” and, indeed, was “hypothetical.” But according to Aldrich, it was Regnery editor Richard Vigilante who had moved the Marriott bit out of the epilogue (where it had been presented as a “mock investigation”) and into the middle of the book (where it was presented as an actual occurrence). Vigilante, Aldrich told Mayer, threatened not to publish the book if Aldrich didn't agree to the changes.

Palin, Prejean, and the PlummerWe have to stop giving them print space. It only serves to keep them relevant.

Sorry. No Prejean.As much as we would all like to see Carrie Prejean serve as vice president of the United States, she cannot, unfortunately, hold that position until she is 35 years old.
Maybe the country will do the right thing, however, and quickly pass a Constitutional amendment that eliminates the vice-presidential age requirement, so that once again genuine Christian faith can have dominion over the executive branch of our government.
A book deal, eh? That worked so well for “Joe the plumber”From a report of one stop on Joe’s book signing tour:
