In reply to the discussion: Sandra Fluke Says Monica Crowley Insult Was 'Blatant Homophobia' [View all]Quantess
(27,630 posts)41. In what universe was Monica Crowley's comment an effective jab at Sandra Fluke?
The original gag was that Sandra Fluke needed tons of birth control because she was such a slut. We got it. Not true, also ignorant, but we understood the jab.
So now that she's engaged, "ha ha she's a lesbian".
To me, that is a massive FAIL of snark. Sandra Fluke truly didn't feel insulted...because it was such a dumb and ineffective swipe. It unintentionally insulted the LGBT community, but it totally missed Sandra Fluke.
For anyone to argue that this was an effective burn on Ms Fluke... I just don't see how.

Monica Crowley has always struck me as an Ann Coulter wannabe. She makes outrageous statements

I agree! She's very impressive and a real lady with guts to take the crap she's been delt.

Also sexist as Crowley seems to be implying that a woman can only be strong if she is gay.
