As if it weren't sad enough for lady political bloggers that Hillary Clinton was throwing her support behind a man on Saturday in Washington, D.C., they also had to deal with male-type reporters tussling with them in the pit. Sure, the whole world is distracted by Mayhill Fowler and what makes a journalist a journalist—but shouldn't the question be more like, who would want to be a journalist? The Huffington Post's Rachel Sklar reports on some steamy rough and tumble action: "I don't know this guy's name, but he was a jerk. [Salon's] Rebecca Traister stood on a chair by the press area, and then he came over and demanded that she move because it was 'his' chair, and he'd moved it there. He'd been away for at least 20 minutes. 'Are we going to do this nicely, or what?' he said to her. Whoever you are, dude, you're a prick." Well, unlike identifying someone from a photo of their prick, it's pretty easy to I.D. this "prick" just from Sklar's picture of his hat!

Judging by the photo and description, the "whoever you are" (mmm, media reporting!) in question would have to be Newsday's Glenn Thrush (pictured above), one of the best-regarded and most hilarious and helpful of reporters working during this endless campaign season—and also, dead giveaway, the only regular hat-wearer in that group.

It's certainly unusual for the mild-mannered and Canadian Rachel Sklar to call someone a "prick"—and I'd love to see what would happen if Thrush had typed up this exchange on his Newsday blog and called Sklar or Traister "a bitch," surely the counterpart of "prick." Now there's a real old media/new media story for someone with way too much time on his hands to pick apart.
