Prejean threatened walkout before she stepped on to 'Larry King Live' set

By GottaLaff

When C-Pre glanced over at who I assume was her attorney, gave him a nod (at about 2:05), and mouthed, "We have to leave" (at about 2:24) on the video we posted yesterday, I suspected this had been staged, er, planned:

Upon entering CNN's Washington Bureau Wednesday night, the first words out of Former Miss California Carrie Prejean's mouth to CNN news assistant Christina McAusland were, "You tell Larry if he's not nice to me, I will get up and leave." [...]

She arrived with an entourage of five, (for cable news Green Room context, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., never arrives with a group that large) and barked at a studio operator for touching her hair while setting up her microphone.

Ooo, Diva McDiverson is getting a little big for her fancy pageant walkin', isn't she?

She accused the King staff of lying to her when they sworetogod there would be no phone calls. Those fiends! What could they have been thinking letting a caller slip in? After all, why would C-Pre expect phone calls on a call-in show? Unheard of!

She belittled McAusland saying, "Is the intern talking to me? Oh look at the little intern, look at the little intern trying to explain!"

"I've never been treated so poorly in my whole life," McAusland, who recently accepted an executive producer position at Newsie.com of Media Convergence Group, said.

The G.O.P.: Running out of diversity

(No, I did not doctor this photo. It's from here)

We've seen a shortage of funds. We've seen a shortage of food. Now the G.O.P. has a shortage of... diversity:

The Republican Party is, understandably, extremely eager to put forward a new, new face, and so maybe it's no coincidence that of the three who have come to the fore post-election -- Sarah Palin, Michael Steele, and Bobby Jindal, none are white men.

But beyond them, the party's top rank is overwhelmingly white and male. And Jindal's weak performance last night [...] serves, along with Palin's fading profile, a reminder that the party is unlikely to have an obviously, visibly different face to put forward in 2012.

So which white guy will it be? Because that's all they have left: Very un-diverse white guys.

At this point, though, there's a fairly clear frontrunner, I think: Mitt Romney.

Go here for more. I've had enough, thank you.
