Summary: Skewing Younger
Review: I bought this book for my dad because he spends lots o' time in the bathroom and I wanted to ease the strain on his back cuz he used to lug all of the entire Sunday Washington post into our family latrine to read the latest wit and wisdom of Mr. Tony. I think he really liked the book cuz immediately after he closed the bathroom door, all I could hear was riotous laughter and an occasional flush. Seriously. Being the precocious child that I am, I decided to peruse Mr. Tony's book myself. While not much of a reader (it took me two years to get through "Ulysses")I figured if dad felt this book was funny, I would too. Gosh, I never laughed so hard in my entire 10 years on this earth! Hours of mirth, nonwithstanding, I learned much about the American political system, oral hygiene, the finer poetic qualities of rap music, and parental authority. When I grow up, I want to be a writer...just like Mr. Tony.

Summary: Kornheiser's the Man!!!
Review: The best thing about this book is it's the best way to see what Tony has to say without Wilbon opening his mouth.

Summary: A Third-Rate Collection from a Third-Rate Columnist
Review: This "book" is a collection of newspaper columns that appeared in the Washington Post over the past few years. As a long-time subscriber to the Washington Post, I've probably read most of them. Tony Kornheiser has whined for many years about not winning the Pulitzer Prize for columnists, conveniently ignoring the main reason for his not winning: He is not very good. Sure, he gets off a funny one-liner every now and again, but his whiny, complaining, "you're not smart-and I'm am" game gets very tiring very quickly. I'd save my money on this one.

Summary: Korn-dog Strikes again
Review: Yes, once again, the Washington Post's choleric, aging, but never say die sports columnist and former "Style" section columnist collects the best of his pieces from the Post. Actually, "best" may be a misnomer, since that implies "worst," of which there is none. Always funny, and often totally hilarious, Tony finds humor in the day-to-day insanities we all face, only his "rage against the machine" is fun to read. This book isn't just for the bathroom, you can even put it in your living room and let your friends read it. They'll be better for the experience, but watch out, as I've learned Tony's books tend to disappear if you turn your back.

Summary: Rack this!
Review: Tony Kornheiser reissuing his mildly amusing columns in book form for the American public: Classic! Tony Kornheiser consistently shilling his wares ad nausem to the point of submission: Not Classic! I was flipping through the channels a couple of months ago when I landed on a show called "Pardon the Interruption" (heretofore known as PTI). I found myself captivated by the orange talking head we all know as Tony. His sparring sessions with Michael Wilbon were so entertaining, I automatically set the TiVo to tape this show every day so when I got home from work, I could see these two bicker until their heads spin. About a month later, I found Tony's show on ESPN Radio. This show is even better than the PTI show, because it's just Tony whining and complaining about every little thing (similar to another person I'm a big fan of, David Letterman, except in a more incessant, New Yorker tone). Finding out that Mr. Tony is also a fellow displaced Long Islander, I became an instant fan. I also noticed that Tony had three books in publication. I've read two of them (Bald As I Wanna Be and Pumping Irony), and I found them to be endlessly entertaining, albeit a little dated. I'm sure some of these columns from "I'm Back For More Cash" (credit Denis Horgan, Jr. for that one) will seem a little dated (I mean, how long ago was that Clinton stuff?), but I'm sure you'll still be able to find a laugh in every page, like Larry King did in "Bald as I Wanna Be" (Which I'm still fact checking to see if his recommendation might have been a little flawed). And since Mr. Tony has consistently shilled his book on his radio program, you have no choice but to purchase this book. He's brainwashed us all. The next thing he'll want you to do is buy merchandise with his name on it... Oh wait, it's too late! Get this book, because you should be entertained by it. Rack it. I'm out.

Summary: Laugh out loud funny
Review: I have been reading Mr. Tony's columns in the Washington Post sports section for years and always found them very amusing. However I did not read the Style section and had no idea he even wrote articles for anything other than the Sports section.
After listening to his radio show for a few weeks I really started to understand that TK was extremely talented and really brilliantly funny. I decided to get this book for my wife who had also become a huge Satchmo fan and it was a big hit. I was reading a real book (not a compilation of newspaper columns) and I had to leave the room because my wife was laughing so hard reading Mr. Tony.
At least two or three times each article there is a moment where you just laugh out loud. Not a grin or giggle, but a laugh that makes you lose your spot in the book. And then there are tender moments as well when Tony loses a family member or speaks of his childhood and camp. The combination makes this book (compilation) wonderful and a great ready for any age.
