It seems that a fistfight broke out at, of all places, The Washington Post newsroom a couple of days ago and the Usual Suspects (Aka media bloggers) have been having a field day with it.
Politico reports that 68-year-old feature editor Henry Allen had leveled some very harsh criticism on an article written by Monica Hesse, calling it "... the second worst story I have seen in Style in 43 years."
A colleague of Hesse's, Manuel Roig-Franzia, who was working with Hesse on another article, walked over to Allen and told him, "Henry, don't be such a c--- sucker."
Allen swung at Roig-Franzia, landing at least one punch before the two could be separated.
This has lead to some hilarious comments at Politico:
"Calling someone a c--- sucker at the ultra-PC Washington Post? Isn't that a hate crime?"
And
"Heet heem weeth choo purse, Manuel!!"
That's every kind of stereotyping, but still funny! Somebody somewhere is channeling Hank Azaria.

Was Barney Frank available for comment?
There have supposedly been some fights in the KC "Red" Star newsroom---but only between readers and the so-called reporters.
