To be insulted by you is to be garlanded with lilies.

No, Monica Crowley isn’t the only Foxbot who’s snidely implied (or said outright) that Sandra Fluke is a lesbian. Though there’s never been any evidence to back up this assertion, it’s S.O.P. whenever Foxbots know they can’t win an argument based on the fact. It’s a very typically Conservative tactic: if you recognize that you can’t win an argument, just resort to smug arrogance and cheap personal insults. You still won’t win the argument, but you’ll feel a lot better about yourself having belittled another human being whose only crime is having the truth on their side.
This isn’t the first time that Crowley’s played the smug arrogance and cheap personal insults card. Nor will it likely be the last. Thoroughly and self-righteously convinced of her own moral superiority, Crowley simply can’t stomach losing. Her cheap and petty attack on Sandra Fluke only serves to demonstrate what a small, petty, and ugly person Monica Crowley can be. It’s too bad that she couldn’t find it within her cold, black heart to drop the partisanship long enough to, if not celebrate, than at least acknowledge Fluke’s engagement for the rite of passage it is. It’s a happy time that should have nothing at all to do with politics or partisanship- unless you’re a smug, arrogant Conservative like Crowley, for whom Liberal = Evil = unfit to enjoy the normal joys and rites of passage of the human existence. How sad it must be to live in such a cold, joyless, self-righteous box, eh?
More than anything, I feel sorry for Monica Crowley. Listening to her for any length of time leaves me sad that she’s evolved into such a miserable excuse for a human being.
