I kind of think that the proper conservative response to a false accusation concerning the reported mugging of Randi Rhodes is to adopt the line from “Dirty Harry” after the child-murdering villian has himself beaten up to frame Harry with the deed. As best I recall it, it goes:
“Why do you say it couldn’t have been you?”
“Because he looks too damn good!”
Adapted to the present situation:
“Why do you say it couldn’t have been a conservative?”
“Because she looks too damn good!”
