DUmmy greenbriar has been especially hostile due to the frustration she suffered on her much-ballyhooed cruise adventure. While Mr. greenbriar, whom she has described as a violently abusive drunk, lay sleeping in an alcoholic stupor, she made vigorous attempts to have sexual relations with a bartender on the ship. The humiliation of his repeated rejections has had a very negative effect on her outlook on the world. It isn't surprising that the infinitely more attractive Ms. Hasselbeck would become a target of DUmmy greenbriar's envy and hatred. The fact that Ms. Hasselbeck has political views more in line with normal people only serves to intensify DUmmy greenbriar's realization of inferiority and failure.
