OK. So it's only interesting because it offers a new method of refusing to answer a question.
Former beauty queen Carrie Prejean appeared on Larry King Live. King asked her why she had settled a suit she had filed against Miss California pageant officials. “You’re being inappropriate,” Prejean told King in response to each question.
King then moved on to a phone call.
Maybe it was a delayed reaction to King’s settlement questioins, but Prejean took off her earpiece and mic only when she (apparently) heard the first part of a caller’s question, “I’m a gay man…”.
Prejean didn’t move from the set. She didn’t do the usual “storm off the set” routine. She stayed glued to her seat and in the camera’s range, but moved into a cone of silence, talking only to an unseen handler offscreen.
The callers question: “I’m a gay man and I love pageants. I’m sure that you have great gay friends that helped you possibly win. What would you give them as advice if they wanted to get married.”
