Battle of (a couple) Titans

As far as public spats go, this one is pretty fun. Ironically it's between two columnists who I link to on the right side of my page: Susan Estrich and Michael Kinsley. They are apparently friends, but a public attack started when Estrich blasted Kinsley for a "lack of women op-ed writers" in the L.A. Times, where Kinsley runs the Op/Ed page. The link shows Estrich's original attack, followed by Kinsley's short but brutal response.

My favorite line from Kinsley: "I'm sorry that she has "never heard of" Charlotte Allen, but I think it may be possible to be a woman even if Susan Estrich has never heard of you."

Very entertaining.
