Pierce The Space on Chatterbox

Over at medianews:

From CHARLES PIERCE: This Space always distrusts columns that call themselves by their own names, particularly when the author is by-lined anyway. This Spaces believes that to be pretentious dweebishness of the highest order, and This Space is tired of it, This Space is.

So This Space was predisposed to dislike Chatterbox right off the top, even before This Space read how Chatterbox is most concerned on who leaked the info on Bill (Sportin' Life) Bennett, rather than why it's good for this sinful world every time a gluttonous pecksniff gets hoisted publicly on his own prodigious petard. (Note To Bill: Re-read "The Ant And The Grasshopper."Now.)

This Space doesn't recall a similar diligence on Chatterbox's part as regards where all those really cool stories about Bill Clinton's extracurricular whoopie were coming from. Of course, this would have imperiled Chatterbox's -- and Mrs. Chatterbox's -- prominence in the bustling Beltway social scene, and This Space would never presume to do that.
