I thought on this very tragic day (ELizabeth Edwards RIP, Obama's hostility to liberal bloggers, liberal bloggers jumping off the presidential primary challenge cliff), we could use a little laughter and schadenfreude:
Spitzer has turned into the star of the show. He's quick, he's energetic, and he's forceful. And while neither of them are a laugh riot, Spitzer appears far more comfortable with the laugh-y drivel required of cable-news hosts. So it's perhaps no wonder that, with tensions high over the show's relatively low ratings (they're way down from Campbell Brown's ratings at this time last year), Parker's beginning to lose her cool.
According to "Page Six," Parker actually stormed off the set a couple of weeks ago over her jealousy of the way Spitzer dominates the show. The fracas occurred during filming of a pretaped segment, and she returned shortly after to finish. But things on set are uncomfortable. "Her weaknesses are felt internally," a source sniped to the Post. "[Spitzer is] smart, tenacious — he turned out better than they thought."
