What is the difference between Carrie Prejean and Nancy Pelosi?

I wondered that today. Pelosi finds herself caught in a web of lies. She claims that the Bush Administration did not inform her that they were going to waterboard terror suspects in Gitmo. That is nonsense. The current head of the CIA came as close as he possibly could in calling the Speaker not entirely forthcoming in her attempts to cover her butt.

Carrie Prejean finds in a similar problem about coverups - in this case there are some semi-salacious photos. Ms. Prejean claims she did not know when a photographer caught her in these pictures. The pictures might be called "art" photos. But they are far from obscene. Her story lacks credibility.

Prejean is a beauty queen. That role is often described as a bimbo. Pelosi seems to be a policy bimbo.

The only difference I can discover is that Ms. Pelosi's lies can influence public policy. That seems a lot more dangerous than posing half naked.
