There’s a fascinating story in today’s Washington Post about the turmoil and inner workings of the Clinton campaign since the primary season began. Called Even in Victory, Clinton Team Battles Itself, it makes clear the loathing many have for campaign strategist Mark Penn and explores the element inside the campaign that feels Tuesday’s wins came despite themselves.

It’s a long piece, by Peter Baker and Anne E. Kornblut, covering everything from the inside account of Ted Kennedy’s endorsement of Obama and the efforts of both Clintons to try to change his mind to the background of that awful and politcally tone-deaf  “change you can Xerox” line of hers.

And one lamenting staffer only now realizes what many of us could see for so long: the campaign has been too arrogant for its own good.

When you’ve got time, click on the link and settle in. It’s worth reading. Where else will you find this account of an exchange between Penn and Harold Ickes:

“[Expletive] you!” Ickes shouted.

“[Expletive] you!” Penn replied.

“[Expletive] you!” Ickes shouted again
