“My distaste for Marilyn Marks is no secret,” writes Post blogger Michael Conniff, “and it includes my disdain for anyone who unrepentantly disregards the truth. Much as I detest what she stands for, I have tried to keep my criticism tied tightly to things she has done that disgrace the body politic, as in the ongoing Election Commission fiasco, whereby her cries of the common good were swallowed whole only by those determined to get fooled again and again. All of that is prelude to saying Marilyn Marks plays dirty–and I’m going to tell you how…. To summarize: she’s trying to deprive me of a livelihood, and she lied about the woman I love. Why? You’ll have to ask her, a woman who has rendered herself not only superficial and superfluous but downright dangerous.”
