Tony Kornheiser somehow manages to speak truth to power despite wearing a DisneyESPN's golden bit between his teeth. (Bill Simmons does too, of course, but in little whiny fits and starts.) Why, Kornheiser will even take on the most powerful elements of American society. Like who, you ask? Like the most important man in America: Matt Freakin' Lauer.

↵On PTI, Kornheiser mocked Lauer's explanation of his bike accident in the Hamptons, which led to Kornheiser appearing on NBC's Today show with Lauer. The two joked amiably, but that's how Inspector Kornheiser works: he gets you to feel comfortable, earns your trust, and before you know it you're tying your own noose: ↵

The truth is out there, and Kornheiser will find it one mocking question at a time. An artist's rendition appears with this post, people of DC. We recommend complete panic, mass terror, and avoiding salt licks for your own safety.↵
