Put down your social networks and get ready for a party, because it was one year ago today that Post columnist Courtland Milloy celebrated the defeat of Mayor Adrian Fenty by openly mocking the people that voted for him — by calling them “myopic little twits.” He wrote:

Fenty boasted of being a hard-charging, can-do mayor. But he couldn’t find time to meet with 98-year-old Dorothy Height and 82-year-old Maya Angelou. Respect for elders — that’s too old school for Fenty. Dis the sistas — his supporters will understand.

Watch them at the chic new eateries, Fenty’s hip newly arrived “creative class” firing up their “social media” networks whenever he’s under attack: Why should the mayor have to stop his work just to meet with some old biddies, they tweet. Who cares if the mayor is arrogant as long as he gets the job done?

Myopic little twits.

In a follow-up profile of the mercurial scribe, the City Paper’s Rend Smith tried to understand and explain Milloy, noting: “Like the late Herb Caen in San Francisco, he’s an old-school journalist doing an old-school job: the Metro columnist writing about, and for, the city’s downtrodden.” But, Smith added, this old-school journalist was only being offensive because he had a whole new class of urban gentrifiers to offend.

Whether as a joke or as part of a serious attempt to get Milloy to interact a little more with the many twits out there, he was eventually coaxed onto Twitter, where he has ocassionally used the hated social network to poke fun — albeit in fewer characters — at the same people he went after in his now infamous column.

“[S]eriously, the main reason im on twitter is to track millennials & find out if they do anything in dc other than party and gentrify,” he wrote on July 30. A few weeks later, he seemed to tire of hanging with us twits. “[C]ity paper ask how i like tweetin. fine, except i dont have anything worth tweeting. seems im not alone either,” he offered on August 21.
