Sir, Is this really the 21st century? John Gapper's description of DR Rachel
Maddow as a "a chirpy gay liberal" is a disgrace! ("Shock: Drudge loses his
grip! <http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/6e6628f2-a5ef-11dd-9d26-000077b07658.html>",
October 30.) I'd hope we'd passed the days of describing people by their
sexual orientation. This seems to occur only in the case of women and it is
a derisive tactic.
Maddow is an intelligent and capable woman with a rapier wit. Chirpy? Yes.
Gay? Yes. However, you do not say "chirpy homosexual Anderson Cooper", do
you? The FT knows better than this!
