The scene: a bar, having drinks.
The conversation (about blogs and journalists):
Person who is not me: For example, Shailagh Murray of the Washington Post is an excellent reporter and a very good friend.
Me: (jaw on floor, in almost hysterical voice) but...but...but.. Shailagh Murray is the devil!
The punchline: Person who is not me is a not insignificant Democratic campaign manager type person.
Joke's on all of us.
