I’m not a liberty to go into specifics, but the cat has been hit up to cover one of those columns.

Did anyone Kerstin tried to interview ever throw a can of pop at her? No? Well then, I guess she isn’t a reporter.

Kersten’s column is in danger?! There IS a Santa Claus.

Coleman should do fine. He actually seems to talk to sources, even if being a columnist means he doesn’t need the second source. Kirsten, a reporter? At a minimum she never checks anything, and she can’t seem to figure out assertion isn’t fact.

That was an assertion by the way, not a fact.

Just to be precise, the memo didn’t reveal Coleman and Kersten are out of the columnist chairs; it’s more general than that. (See: http://www.minnpost.com/braublog/2008/12/15/5286/buh-bye_columnists_the_buyout_memo)

But my sources do indicate that they will lose their columnar perches.

Nick is no longer a collumnist?
Gee that means he can now do the hard reporting to pin the bridge collapse on Pawlenty.
The stolen 133 ballots on Norm and the Wacouta Bridge fiasco on the Lt Gov.
Get cracking on you new beat Nickster.
