My theory is that this is about the breakdown of the relationship between Wilco lead singer Jeff Tweedy and Jay Bennett, his former songwriting partner in the band who quit (or was fired) during the recording of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Both were very difficult personalities fighting for creative control in the band, In this song, Tweedy, despite his anger at Bennett, is acknowledging how difficult he was to work with himself.
