Fox News analyst Monica Crowley defended the bully-like, grade-school taunt she used in a Tweet she sent out about the news that Rush Limbaugh’s recent punching bag Sandra Fluke was engaged to her long-time boyfriend Adam Mutterperl. Upon hearing the news Crowley tweeted:
To a man?"Sandra Fluke Announces Engagement"

Fluke, a Georgetown law student, can not catch a break with conservatives. First, Limbaugh famously called her a “slut” and a “prostitute” this past February when she advocated for employer-covered contraception.
Then, Fluke announced that she’s entering into one of those highly revered and superior heterosexual marriages social conservatives are always on about, and Crowley all but called her a lesbian in a Tweet.
Following a backlash on Twitter in which people lambasted Crowley for being “homophobic" and a “terrible person,” according to Huffington Post, Crowley defended her lame joke by placing the blame on humorless liberals.

According to Huff-Po one Tweeter called Crowley out for insinuating that Fluke is gay and Crowley responded that her tweet was a “straightforward question.”
