Carrie Prejean has a serious congressional supporter who thinks she should pursue a career in politics ... and it's not just because she has her finger on the hot-button issues. 
TMZ spoke with Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) who tells us he thinks Prejean could be a serious contender in the political arena: "[Carrie] has the ability to draw crowds and if she has a strong message to go with that, who knows what she can do? She has star power which can open doors.
"We've all made mistakes when we were 17. [The sex tape] is going to be an impediment, but people are excited about her convictions and her beliefs."
For the record -- Carrie was 20 when she filmed her world famous solo mission.

The mere fact that this Utah public servant would even jokingly suggest that a half-witted, dethroned,hypocritical plastic puppy such as Prejean should even be considered for a job that requires at least some logic, intellect & common sense is more than grounds to remove him from the same in the next election !!!Wait, on second thought, those are the credentials that most of the current members of the House & Senate used to get elected! Go ahead & hit the campaign trail full speed Saint Carrie.Considering that 75% of the mindless American public are akin to sheep being led to slaughter, you could probably get elected too.

She is no less full of crap, than any other politician.
Most politicians are sell outs and whores anyway.

Chaffetz thinks she has the ability to draw people. That statement gives a great deal of insight into his political views. She can draw crowds and LIE. She would be a great politician. DO NOTHING FOR THE GOOD, JUST BE A GREAT POLITICIAN. That's what wrong with this country now. We have too many politician's politicians.

of course she could be a politician. She's cut from the same self-interested, money-hungry cloth.

I wish Vivid could get the rights to the Prejean family Thanksgiving dinner. Akward !

Why do the nutjobs have a problem with his "drawing a crowd" comment? All campaign long the Socialist media would only focus on Obama's crowds, and exaggerate the numbers to boot. Never would they talk about his substance because, well, he had none. As we're now painfully learning as he continues to kill millions of jobs, the economy and our security. Can't wait to watch this failure booted from the White House in '12

She had me until the recent Larry King interview. She is nothing but a dumb "beauty queen." Perez Hilton makes me want to vomit, and I think he and Shana Moakler wrongly viciously targeted this girl. However, she squandered her opportunity to be a strong female roll model. Too many indiscretions and lies. And, clearly dumb as a rock (no offense to rocks).

This guy is more ignorant that Carrie.

The only thing that qualifies her to be a politician is that she's a lying hypocrite and I mean that with the utmost respect. Are we really even having this conversation?

At least it is better than Mikes suggestion, to accept the offer to do porn.If she fails as a political candidate, it would give her a better shot at doing something with Fox.

Dude is from Utah. He's probably in the market for a sixth wife by now. Flattery will get you everywhere!

Well, the past is the past (though this past is not so long ago) But the present is the present, and she presently has been lying through her teeth and presenting herself as something she is not. Oh, wait! That is one qualification for being a politician!!! And who needs brains when you have good looks and a nice body!!! That's just what we need- dumb, loose women with questionable integrity helping run our country! YeeHaw! Put her on the ballot!!!
