Washington Post sportswriter
Michael Tunison got
canned this week after outing himself as a contributor to football blog
Kissing Suzy Kolber. The journo revealed his identity on Monday in
this blog post, which alludes to his "dick joke slingery" and features this delightful picture (above, right) of himself "totally fucking hammered" at the Super Bowl. Aghast
Post higher-ups keen on protecting the reputation of a profession well known for its sobriety swiftly informed Tunison that
drinking in bars "brought discredit to the paper" and fired him. The deep humiliation of being escorted out of the building by security, Tunison
reports, was further amplified by the fact that
Post political laugh machine
Dana Milbank was there to see it all. You will be happy to know, however, that Tunison is buoying his spirits with thoughts about the upside of life off the
Post payroll: "Sure, health insurance is nice, but it's no constant masturbation breaks." [
Uh, sic
there. Also on the part where Dana Milbank is referred to as a "laugh machine."--Ed.]
