Carrie Prejean Is Uber-Twittered

For those of you keeping score at home, this might be a first.

In the thousands of interviews Larry King has conducted in his decades-long career, one thing he has not done is solidify a reputation as a tough questioner. Guests frequently go on his show to find a sympathetic ear and to redeem themselves in the face of a scandal or public backlash.

Carrie Prejean thinks otherwise, it is clear today, of Mr King. The former Miss California and author was flabbergasted by King’s questions as to why she agreed to settle with the Miss USA pageant. Prejean deemed the questions ‘inappropriate’. King persisted. Then Prejean, speaking to someone off-camera and personally defining the meaning of a ‘pregnant pause’, decided to walk away.

The incident consequently sent the Twitterverse into a frenzy.
