You've winced at his columns in the newspapers.

You've suffered through his ill-fated radio ventures.

It really was the worst of all worlds. His commentary was remindful of his carping columns. His voice of his off-putting, snarky radio shows. And to top it off, we had to look at his smug face the whole time. How many mediums can one man befoul?
