Tidbits and Cat Treats: Townie Edition

By Zamboni

We cats have have returned to the land of E Pluribus Unum to find the Washington, D.C. chattering classes agog about some new book that dishes dirt on Beltway types.

Sheesh. If this tome isn't completely emblematic of the capital's narcissism, we don't know what is. But okay, we'll bite. Here are our initial takes.

Are we supposed to be surprised that Ed Henry of FOX "News" gives everyone the cheaps and that Darrell Issa is a crook? Please.

Andrea Mitchell is the perfect example of how the media can't cover newsmakers they're friends with. And we don't care how many times Rachel Maddow has Mitchell on her show and compliments her on her "great reporting." It makes us hack up a hairball.

We're sure that Mark Kirk knows all about makeup.

Who is "Tammy Haddad"? And why should we care?

Finally, we'd like to know why Hillary Clinton's "F--- the White House Correspondents' Dinner" retort is supposed to be "shocking." We cats have been saying that for years. Good for you, Madam Secretary!
