BREAKING: "Obama Girl v. Guiliani Girl" Fake Smackdown Leads To "Blogger v. Blogger" Real Smackdown

WARNING: this post is so "inside", you have to be on the guest list just to read it.

I hope by now you've had the chance to check out the new "Obama Girl" video, which features three "Obama Girls" "fighting" [including pillows!!!] three "Guiliani Girls". Haven't seen it yet??? It was only the #2 meme on the 'tubes on Monday -- after the photoshop hackjob Redbook did on Faith Hill. Anyway, if for some reason you still haven't seen it, you can check it out here. But I should warn you -- you'll probably fall asleep three times just while reading the associated article.

Okay, anyway, our good friends Julia Allison and Rachel Sklar had a big debate recently about whether this video signaled a new low -- or possibly a new high -- for women in the political sphere.

And check out the fact that JA is arguing for the "low", while RS is being all "lighten up, girlfriend".

The "transcript" of their possibly-nonexistent "conversation" is courtesy Gawker editor Alex Balk. Which means, of course, I didn't trust it for a second...

...Until our dear friend Julia "endorsed" it on her own blog.

So...Enjoy!!! [P.S. We heartily encourage you to click on the many links in Balk's link-ified post...well worth you time!!! -- Ed.]

Okay, so who are Julia Allison and Rachel Sklar?

Julia Allison fancies herself as "this generation's" Candace Bushnell. She's a "dating 'columnist'" who also has made multiple appearances on the Fox News Channel and was recently hired by Star Magazine as their new [teevee-centric] Editor-At-Large.

Oh, and there's also that thing involving former Representative Harold Ford Jr. (D-TN), but Allison doesn't really like talking about that -- except, of course, for the fact that she does -- so let's just move on.

Rachel Sklar is the editor of Arianna Huffington's Huffington Post: Eat The Press media meta-criticism blog.

Allison is also an occasional contributor to HP's ETP blog.

Allison is also Gawker's best "frenemy".

And Sklar is also Canadian..."Not that there's anything wrong with that..."...
