Rep. Chaffetz Bullish On Carrie Prejean's Political Prospects

Carrie Prejean! Are we still even allowed to be talking about her, this being Sarah Palin's appointed week in the media spotlight? Apparently, yes! Hollywood gossip-mongers TMZ report today that Representative Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) was recently talking bullishly on Prejean's political prospects: "[Carrie] has the ability to draw crowds and if she has a strong message to go with that, who knows what she can do? She has star power which can open doors."

Uhm... sex tape much? Chaffetz suggests that it will be "an impediment" but "we've all made mistakes when we were 17." CUE THE NATIONWIDE SEARCH FOR THE JASON CHAFFETZ SEX TAPE.

Chaffetz went on to suggest that "people are excited about [Prejean's] convictions and beliefs," which led me, naturally to itemize said convictions and beliefs:

1. Carrie Prejean does not support gay marriage.
2. Carrie Prejean thinks Perez Hilton is an insufferable, howling jerkface. (No argument here!)
3. Carrie Prejean thinks the media makes way too big a deal about 1 and 2.
4. Carrie Prejean will relentlessly bombard the media on that third point.

And you know what? Chaffetz has a point! That's way more convictions than your typical Congressperson ever evinces!
