well, that didn’t take long, or, Catfight!

On Reliable Sources this past Sunday (five days ago) Howard Kurtz asked his colleague Candy Crowley if the media wasn’t looking forward to having someone else to bash (Democrats instead of the usual Republicans) for a change. (She was noncommittal, though she finally agreed that the press loves a good story.) The next day, he followed it up with a piece in the Washington Post, for those who hadn’t seen his program. (I wrote about it here.)

A mere three days later (yesterday), in the wake of the humiliating hammering Nancy Pelosi received at the hands of her caucus, who voted for their choice for Majority Leader over her “choice,” Digby wrote:

Man are these catty little MSNBC snots enjoying their full-on Demo bitch fest. They are partying like it’s 1999. Norah O’Donnell, Lawrence O’Donnell, Mary Ann Akers and some other person I don’t know have just spent half an hour discussing the fact that Nancy Pelosi ruined her own honeymoon and now it is really quesionable whether she can lead. Meanwhile, the dirty netroots and Howard Dean must have done something wrong because James Carville is hanging out all the Democratic dirty laundry (while his wife cackles with glee, no doubt) and he wouldn’t do that unless there was something to it.

After a thorough discussion of how hapless the Democratic nerds have already proven to be, Mary Ann Akers whispers that reporters all over town are “loving” this story. …

The spite girls are back in town.

Well, yeah. But this time they have another girl in their sights. Bill Clinton may soon discover that he got off easy.

That’s infotainment!
