Thanks for adding to what she said. Also, I am not a Mona-hater. I don't read all of her stuff like I do Charlie's and JVL's, but when I do, I find her arguments are backed up with facts and mostly persuasive. Every time she's on Thurs Night Bulwark, I find her commentary to be measured and thoughtful. So I don't understand the hating.

Agreed, Sandy. I feel like many commentors just can't quit with the flippant responses altogether, even at The Bulwark. They appear to have settled on Mona as their target. It's lame and I dislike it intensely. Even the ones who are clearly intelligent become instantly stupid in their meanness.

It seems like a lot of the more lefty women here just have a hard time figuring out why a Mona exists. She's like some kind of exotic creature they don't know how to deal with.

Maybe that's it. I have known many Monas and they don't trigger me- and I fell off the left edge decades ago.

Agree they are mostly flippant responses. (Good word. Synonyms for flippant are superficial and thoughtless.) So not worth my time to respond to.
