    Oh come on, if Dana Milbank wants to fuss at anyone about journalistic ethics and colluding with the administration and lacking integrity and fancy-ass shit, let him train his sights on his boss Fred Hiatt, first.


    This is about old media resentment, pure and simple. And it's pretty much the same thing that happened between poor Will Leitch and that old Buzz Bissinger fellow. This is about older newspaper men feeling irrelevant and insecure around their younger, way more relevant counterparts.


    You can't fight the future, Dana. Be honest about your motivations for your sanctimony. And remember, you may win this battle. But as far as the war goes, you've already been pwned.

    @lobstr: Correction: Dana was originally a man's name as was Lindsey (Lindsay), Courtney, Shirley. They were all man's names. What started in the South was they would name daughters with family names to keep the name alive. I saw a lot of this in Virginia, women named David, etc.

    To be fair, here's Milbank's rejoinder:


    Hey Huffpo! is that an Obama in your pocket or are you glad to see me???

    Nico: You are quick to malign and slow to correct.


    Yes that is true.


    But the better line would have been: You can eat my shorts traditional newspaper man. Neener Neener Neener.

    " Arianna Huffington then weighed in, saying that Pitney's got his facts "all wrong."


    No, Arianna said that Milbank "got his facts all wrong". Why would Arianna write an article attacking her own employee?


    Any case, Milbank's a petty Beltway prissy shithead, jealous of his status and perks. Boo-hoo, Obama called on Huffpost- so what? Milbank ought to go commit some actual journalism rather than attack a young upstart for bringing something substantial to the table. No wonder he feels threatened.

    Sorry, but I'm more on Dana's side. His column wasn't so much as snide as a sarcastic take on how event in Washington usually work: slowly, staged, boring, and manipulated.

    I think the American thing is a totally fair point, to be honest. I hate seeing the Brits walk away with all the Tony awards every year, especially for dreck like Billy Elliot.


    Also, God of Carnage? Crappy little French play made into something wonderful by fabulous American actors.

    @Perhaps Not: For some reason, fewer Pulitzer-prize winning (or even nominated) plays seem to make it to Broadway. If they could figure out why that is, maybe American wouldn't be shown up at the Tonys quite so often.


    Especially when real (American) dreck like Rock of Ages and Shrek are taking up theaters instead.

    Can I get a ruling by the denizens of Theater World? Is it sparklehands or jazzhands? Jazzhands seems to be the suggested nomenclature, and is used locally. Isn't sparklehands the retarded cousin to jazzhands? Sort of like the harpsichord/piano? Candlestick vs pin bowling, etc.

    @Bedheadjc: I've only ever heard jazz hands. Sparkle hands could merely be residue from the famous "Sparkle Motion" in Donnie Darko.

    I can't figure out why no one has made Showgirls into a musical. Is Versayche holding out rights of some sort?
