WaPo's Al Kamen smears Dems

In his item today:

The intense back-stabbing amongst Democrats for top jobs in the Obama administration assumes there are a fixed number of jobs worth having.

By “intense back-stabbing” does Kamen mean the intense lobbying for jobs that takes place every time a new administration is created? If so than why didn't he just say so. Instead Kamen portrays Dems as greedy juveniles at each others' throats, and Kamen did it without producing a single piece of evidence (i.e. anecdote) to back up his nasty portrayal.
