Carrie Prejean may finally take a break from press.

Who's having the best week ever? Taylor Swift. Who's having the worst week ever? Carrie Prejean. Prejean appeared Wednesday night on Larry King Live in an interview that she apparently thought was to promote her book (watch her hold it up in the video). Instead Larry King grilled her on the terms of her settlement with the Miss USA pageant, causing Prejean to remove her mike and tell world-famous interviewer King, "You're being inappropriate."

Larry King asks a smile-pasted Prejean about suing the Miss USA organization and then their countersuit against her. "You accused [the pageant] of a number of things including religious discrimination," King says, "clearly an issue very important to you. Why did you settle? You don't have to tell me the terms of the settlement. But why settle, since you had a fight to carry on?"

Prejean answers, "Larry, everything that was discussed in mediation - I'll say it again - is completely confidential. I'm not going to be able to talk about that. So I'm just letting you know that ahead of time."

For a painful near-90 seconds, Larry King and Carrie Prejean play verbal volleyball over Prejean's refusal to answer King's questions regarding the legal battle between Prejean and the Miss USA organization. To divert the topic Larry King takes a phone call, to Prejean's dismay. "We're gonna have to leave," she mouths to her publicist, and she attempts to remove her microphone. A Detroit caller asks Prejean a question about what advice she would give to gay couples who want to get married, and a mikeless Prejean shares an awkward exchange with Larry King: "I can't hear you," she says.

Watch the video to see why Carrie Prejean can be pretty sure mainstream media personalities are going to stop calling her.

By the way, with all the press, Prejean's book doesn't appear to be moving from the shelves. We hope Regnery Press, her conservative publisher out of D.C., was conservative about their first print of the book.

Tantrum? Hardly. Prejean is legally barred from disclosing certain things. King was probing her, repeatedly, about precisely those things. He knew it, he persisted. She was right to terminate the interview. King also exacerbated his bad faith by going to the telephones as he did. Even more, though--I'm guessing a bit here--if she was beginning to feel that she was being maneuvered into saying something prohibited and catching it a moment too late, maybe--perhaps even subconsciously--she was responding as all sentient life does to threat and danger--separate from it. Obeying the court order trumps (pardon the pun) any TV interview. She was right. Maybe not graceful, but right. And this is just the King interview. Her bashers are right about one thing, and that she should have been up front about the image/ego..er..."morals clause" of the contract, as archaic and sexist as that is. I wonder how many others of those ladies would be in trouble if their locked closets were opened. She is provably no hypocrite. To be a hypocrite one must profess one moral code and life a lower one--AT THE SAME TIME. If she has done wrong, yet hurt no one, and squared it up with God, that's enough. Even our earthly justice no longer considers you guilty once you've done your time and been released. The sex tape? If, as I suspect, most of you reading this aren't terribly bothered by the issue of premarital sex, then what was immoral about making the tape? If you don't think she's immoral having sex with the boyfriend, making an erotic tape is no worse. And please don't try to tell me you're morally indignant that she showed some breast, when you're perfectly OK with celebs/actresses flashing skin all over the place. I'm afraid I'll bust a gut laughing that hard.
