Erstwhile beauty queen, Carrie Prejean, was looking for the opportunity to sell her book, reciting nearly verbatim the same speech from her Today show appearance about what she claims is the double standard faced by conservative women in the liberal media on Larry King Live when the host threw a wrench into her rehearsed performance.
After Prejean gave her spiel, Larry King asked the former Miss California USA why she had dropped her claims of religious discrimination, libel and slander against the Pageant. Larry insisted, "Why settle since you had a fight to carry on?"
Carrie refused to discuss any details of the settlement and when King continued pressing, she said, "Larry you're being inappropriate. You really are." The two continued to banter, with Carrie appearing to threaten to leave the interview after removing her microphone. Yeah, she's really not interested in chatting about that sex tape of hers, in case you didn't notice.
After the interview, Anderson Cooper chatted about the incident on his show with another CNN correspondent, who explained that Prejean claims she was preparing to exit the interview early because she was told she wouldn't have to take questions from callers. To this, Anderson summed the entire episode perfectly by saying, "Bizarre." (Watch that clip after the jump.)
Well, at least Larry wasn't being "glib," I guess.
