Sounds like he was fired.

Too bad. I really liked him. Think that has anything to do with his very local critism of the White House as it relates to "taking DC for granted".

His run in with Kwame Brown a few weeks ago at Fox 5 was the icing on the cake. He will end up on WNEW 99.1 in a month btw that is where Lisa Baden is now for morning traffic

This is really too bad. DC needs a few more folks that are smart, are focused on local DC politics, and can keep the rest of us informed. I hope he quickly works through whatever his issues might be and gets back in the business, reporting on DC politics.

We can't post directly on WTOP's wall on FB, but I did mention them in MY post about this on my page. I'm disappointed in WTOP. Plotkin's editorial was spirited but not offensive. Cal Thomas offends me all the time!

Dislike!

Yes, I agree Mark is smart and talented, but why is he so pissy with people/colleagues. I certainly wouldn't want to work around him, based on what folks said in the WaPo link.
