Tony Kornheiser is back. Within these pages, the celebrated Washington Post columnist, Pardon the Interruption cohost, and ESPN radio personality relates his experience as an OnStar user, the proud new owner of the Ronco Showtime Rotisserie & BBQ, and a “phone-a-friend” on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. And in between, he dishes political commentary on Monica and Bill and George W. and Al. New for the paperback edition is Tony’s final Washington Post Style column. So read all about his quest to fit into size 36 Dockers and his struggle to buy holiday gifts. And know that in the process you’re handing this Kornheiser guy way too much dough for these columns.

Product Description
From Library Journal
This book consists of over 100 fairly recent selections from the syndicated humor column that Kornheiser writes for the Sunday Washington Post. Kornheiser's gift as a humorist, honed over long experience, is such that he can make a story out of nothing and out of everything like buying something from infomercial pitchman Ron Popeil, wishing Bob Dole would shut up, attending a "guys only" high school reunion, or smearing his head with Rogaine (his previous collection of columns was Bald As I Wanna Be). L'Affaire Lewinsky and the Al Gore/George Bush election occupy a good portion of the book. Kornheiser keeps the reader in a more or less chucklesome mood most of the time, but even the best collections of newspaper columns lose something of their flavor and immediacy when put in book form, and this is no exception a lot of the material is old hat. Even so, the humorous invention provides considerable mirth, and the book, dipped into at judicious intervals, will help at a time when the national funny bone could stand some vigorous tickling.

Format:Paperback
and incredibly funny. Tony strikes again with a collection of Washington Post Style columns on a wide array of topics from Clinton to south Florida retirees to the weatherman. A classic American literary piece its not, but for light, entertaining reading it wins out. Be careful where you read it - I laughed out loud on more than one occasion. Enjoy.

Tony Kornheiser is one of the funniest men alive. It was great to be able to read his non-sports collumns. This book really shows his versatility
