K-LO, ONLINE COMEDY INSTITUTION, TO STEP DOWN

by Jim Newell  2:51 pm June 15, 2009

BIG NEWS 2DAY, from Kathryn Jean “Jonah Goldberg” Lopez: “I will soon be stepping aside as editor of National Review Online. I’m not going too far. I’ll still be contributing to NRO with ideas and content, and if you are an author or reader you might not notice much of a change. I’ll probably still be bugging you for pieces if you’re an author and I’ll still be traffic-copping the Corner. But I will be moving my primary base of operation in the fall from New York to D.C., and will no longer honcho NRO on a day-by-day basis.” Oh, we will notice the shit out of this. Starburst will replace her. [National Review]

The KFC across from the NR offices mourns.

I personally suspect the nearby 7-11 and the local Ho-Hos distributor are shedding tears.

Another drag queen in DC? great.

TGY June 15, 2009 at 2:58 pm

She will leave big shoes to fill.

Internally valid June 15, 2009 at 2:58 pm

She says she and Jonah will now both hold the position of editor-at-large. *insert obligatory fat joke*

Tommmcatt June 15, 2009 at 2:59 pm

Jonah must be heartbroken.

slappypaddy June 15, 2009 at 3:00 pm

watch out, she’s steppin’ down, don’t get under them feet, squish you like a bug.

Min June 15, 2009 at 3:03 pm

I’ll still be traffic-copping the Corner.

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

Naked Bunny with a Whip June 15, 2009 at 3:03 pm

I’ll still be contributing to NRO with ideas

Ahahahahaha! And I will continue contributing my sophisticated and informed political analysis to Wonkette News Service Worldwide.

and content

Okay, fair enough. K-Lo can certainly generate material which consumes both space and time, which is perfect for NRO.

All this K-Lo talk has made me hungry.

Servo June 15, 2009 at 3:03 pm

Freight locomotives can’t simply “step aside”.

shortsshortsshorts June 15, 2009 at 3:04 pm

She’s off to protest in Iran.

AxmxZ June 15, 2009 at 3:05 pm

Meanwhile, people are being shot by the basij in Iran.

gjdodger June 15, 2009 at 3:06 pm

I’m not going too far.
Well, that’ll be a first.

Mr Blifil June 15, 2009 at 3:09 pm

I guess she’s been through all the Craig’s List possibilities NY has to offer.

heroinmule June 15, 2009 at 3:10 pm

Phew, thank jesus she will still be “contributing!” For a second I thought the republic was going to have to move on without her “analysis.”

19kevin8 June 15, 2009 at 3:10 pm

I suspect the real reason is that Jonah knocked her up.

Litlebritdifrnt June 15, 2009 at 3:11 pm

So you know that government website that POTUS set up for people to submit ideas to? Well its been overrun by “birfers” demanding to see the birth certificate and calling Hopey a muslin and all that and it occurred to me that the wonketeers might want to do something about it.

Oh and blog wars. Have fun.

SayItWithWookies June 15, 2009 at 3:11 pm

I’m sure she can do stupid and irrelevant from DC just as well as she can do it from NYC.

donner_froh June 15, 2009 at 3:12 pm

[re=338976]gjdodger[/re]: “I’m not going too far.”

Only as far as those stubby little legs can carry all that weight before needing a break and a few dozen Hostess Cupcakes.

Litlebritdifrnt June 15, 2009 at 3:12 pm

PS) Blackmonrikker is over there fighting them all on his own right now so show him some love.

magic titty June 15, 2009 at 3:13 pm

She just ruined the word honcho forever, as if it weren’t already bad enough.

Servo June 15, 2009 at 3:17 pm

Please feel free to continue to send me feedbags
Fixed.

S.Luggo June 15, 2009 at 3:20 pm

[re=338973]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Why? Doesn’t Ahmadinejad have enough weight on his side?

Extemporanus June 15, 2009 at 3:31 pm

[re=338992]magic titty[/re]: I’m pretty sure “honcho” is Mexican for “dry hump”. And “NRO” stands for “Nachos Rio Oeuvos”. K-Lo will now have more to time to honcho burritos, which are decidedly less messy than NROs.

trondant June 15, 2009 at 3:39 pm

It’s just like Twain said: while K-Lo is in session no man’s domestic animals are safe.

Canadian Rap Star Flavour Flav June 15, 2009 at 3:40 pm

A story about K-Lo isn’t a story without a picture of her!

I assume she’s coming to DC to star in the upcoming Arena Stage production of WALL-E, playing one of the hoglike blobs of human flesh who live on the spaceship and are saved by WALL-E (played, in a revelatory turn, by Al Gore).

Josh Fruhlinger June 15, 2009 at 3:41 pm

Wait, “honcho” is a verb now?

TGY June 15, 2009 at 3:52 pm

[re=339032]Josh Fruhlinger[/re]: Yes, it’s the neuter conjugation of ‘to honch’.

Capitol Hillbilly June 15, 2009 at 3:54 pm

What did they run out of Frosted Flakes in New York?

Say it ain’t so, K-Lo!

hobospacejunkie June 15, 2009 at 4:05 pm

HONCHO IS NOT A VERB YOU IGNORANT CUNT!!

Bruno June 15, 2009 at 4:10 pm

This is clearly a behind the scenes power struggle between the different factions of the GOP. Only until we know the ultimate editor will we know which direction of crazy we are heading – religious-crazy, military-crazy, paultard-crazy, etc.

May the victor feast on the defeateds’ hearts!

Bruno June 15, 2009 at 4:12 pm

Can we start calling her “known virgin” K-Lo? I always thought that better applied to her than Mittens

Come here a minute June 15, 2009 at 4:15 pm

I’ll still be traffic-copping

I assume this has something to do with donuts.

queeraselvis v 2.0 June 15, 2009 at 4:29 pm

Please feel free to continue to send me flaming bags of dicks on the site and ideas. Call me with your six dollar book proposals and microscopic speaking fees, because the key to handcuffs chaining me to my desk in the Buckley Towers on Lexington Avenue has been found under the pile of Jonah’s cum-encrusted Merona boxers. I’m grateful to everyone who has worked hard to make the first 12 years of NRO a laughingstock and look forward to continuing to work with you all, along with eating new feces, in the future.

Fin.

Lionel Hutz Esq. June 15, 2009 at 5:20 pm

Chastity Bono announces her sex change, and the next work day K-Lo makes this announcement. Coincidence?

chascates June 15, 2009 at 6:41 pm

[re=338987]Litlebritdifrnt[/re]: Done. In the ‘uncategorized’ category.

jarais June 15, 2009 at 9:00 pm

I’ll never laugh again.

problemwithcaring June 15, 2009 at 9:13 pm

[re=339108]Come here a minute[/re]: It’s an inside joke about hazarding to walk past her in the office hallways.

dennymcden June 15, 2009 at 10:47 pm

[re=339135]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: Swell.

Plus – K-Lo’s retirement makes me want to masturbate into an empty package of Pop-Tarts.
