That obscenity-laced shouting match between Terry McAuliffe and Mark Plotkin at the Capital Grille on Tuesday night? All in good fun, the former DNC chair assures us. Just some political banter between two good-natured kidders. We had heard it sounded like a real fight, but no, "Mark and I always have fun together," said McAuliffe, now busy with his run for Virginia governor. "I was laughing." The WTOP political analyst declined to comment.
