I don't know if it can go in the Punctures/Jabs/Skewerings categories but my favourite is from John Ford to CB De Mille who, during Maccartism tried to kick J. Mankiewicz out of the Screen Directors Guild:
"'My name's John Ford. 'I make Westerns. I don't think there is anyone in the room who knows more about what the American public wants than Cecil B. De Mille. In that respect I admire him.' Then, staring at De Mille, he added, 'But I don't like you, C.B. I don't like what you stand for and I don't like what you've been saying here tonight".
Then he proposed to make De Mille resign from the Guild and succeded.
