Many of those can be, for lack of a better word, racy.<\/p>\n<p>The photos released today of Ms. Prejean in a black bikini bottom and an unbuttoned gray sweater vest are in my opinion exactly what Ms. Prejean says they are. The most revealing photos appear to me to be the type of inadvertent \u201cpeek-a-boo\u201d shots that often happen during photo shoots involving skimpy clothing. Ms. Prejean does appear to be trying to modestly conceal her &#8220;naughty bits&#8221; and not intentionally show the world what God gave her.<\/p>\n<p>In my experience shots like that are normally filed with all the other shots taken during that photo session and forgotten about. I for one agree with Ms. Prejean the behavior of the photographer who released those shots was reprehensible and unprofessional.<\/p>\n<p>While he (or she) is most likely within his (or her) legal rights, releasing those photos was in my opinion unethical.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/hotair.com\/archives\/2009\/05\/12\/trump-to-emotional-miss-california-youre-not-fired\/\" target=\"_blank\">Trump to emotional Miss California: You\u2019re not fired<\/a> &#8211; Hot Air<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.floppingaces.net\/2009\/05\/12\/miss-california-keeps-her-crown\/\" target=\"_blank\">Miss California Keeps Her Crown<\/a> &#8211; Flopping Aces<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2009\/05\/12\/msnbcs_shuster_miss_ca_usa_decision_makes_me_want_to_vomit.html\" target=\"_blank\">MSNBC&#8217;s Shuster: Miss CA USA Decision Makes Me Want To &#8220;Vomit&#8221;<\/a> &#8211; Real Clear Politics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven&#8217;t felt the need to comment on whole Carrie Prejean &#8220;controversy&#8221; for various reasons&#8230; The whole affair has been has media fueled Charlie Fox Trot.
