GL – I agree, it was a bit over played in the media. I guess the other lesson is to be prepared when engaging in the public arena. On the other hand, you can’t really have it both ways – grab media attention to promote your book AND be a private figure. I am sure that a lot more people know about Carrie’s book than might have heard about it had there NOT been a bru-ha-ha on Larry King! Thanks for stopping by!

I just saw an over matched girl who should stay out of the public glare.
And do we all think Larry King didn’t know the deal his producers made with her?…Gotcha journalism, maybe?

Mark – I believe that there are career lessons everywhere! (Maybe this is why I can’t simply watch a TV show without needing to blog about it!) I think it is important to take the lessons no matter where they are! Thanks for your comment.

Carrie Prejeans, Ann Coulter, Michelle Backman, Scott Peterson, John Edwards, Kate Gosselin…and, of course, Sarah Palin, about 5 female teachers and their pubescent students, the unsavory behavior. Of course, it is not always the case. But, when the subject of sensationalist non-issue is attractive…the media sure has a way of jumping on it… I’ll try to learn career lessons from Carrie Prejean….but if we have a popultation of 300 million (again 15.7 million un/under employed I think there are other examples out there….Mark N.

If you’re being questioned in public a diplomatic answer is expected. And a sex tape?! People will be asking her about that when she’s 80. Who wants to buy a book from someone who’s been rude…hmmm, ‘difficult’ seems to be the cherry on the sundae.

I can’t, well maybe I guess I can believe she did say that. Good lesson for everybody what not to say. Thanks.
