TK is money, which is why I record PTI everyday. One of the most amusing shows on tv. Do you think he'll ever take over Skeletor as host of Redskin's Report and Around the Horn?

My experience with TK is just about the exact same as hillrat's. Plus, it has been exciting (and still kinda is) to see him become nationally known and I get a bit sad when he's lame on Monday Night Football. But I feel like he's only stuck around as a WP employee because, as much as he is raking in the dough through television, he still thinks of himself as a journalist and the WP was the last thing actually connecting him to that. Listening to his radio show, it even sounded like he realized he was more just hanging out there.

No love for TK here at DCist? When I started reading the paper in high school, Kornheiser's column was one of the first I read regularly. I guess I'll always have a soft spot for him and I'm sorry to see him leaving the Post.

I was hoping you were telling me that David Broder was finally retiring, but he's going to continue to churn out his lamebrained column full of "on the other hand" tripe and criticism of Democrats for being too "partisan." Bummer.

So why was Tony Kornholer still employed by the Post when he wasn't even writing for them regularly?

"Tony Kornheiser", "David Broder", and "FishbowlDC?" I couldn't be any less interested if you linked to "Pilgrim's Progress", "Paris Hilton", and "the cinema of Uwe Boll."

The post has turned into a snarky high school rag. Date Lab? Sunday Source? Gag me with a spoon.

Wow, the obituaries just won't be the same without Yvonne at the helm anymore. Oh wait, yes they will.
