I just created an account to thank you for all your commentary over the silly season of politics. Of course I'll check out your new blog. Best of luck!

By the way, are you coming back when TPMElection central starts up again? 2012 elections? Too far away to tell?

It's been real, Greg.

Now go show those chumps how to do some real journalism!

So....I guess Horse's Mouth really ISN'T coming back.

Good Luck, Mr. Sargent.

Congrats Greg. I'm rather new her, but I 've enjoyed your commentary quite a lot. I'll now have another political site to add my favorites; Oh, boy.

Good for you, but sad for us. I'll be sure to visit your WaPo blog in future. Congratulations and best wishes to you!

Nooooooo . . .!

Okay, regaining composure. Good luck and I'll check it out.

Just when you were getting good at writing these wonderful essays.....

Ok, see you at WaPo....

Thanks so much for all of your hard work and dedication. I don't know if I'd have survived the election without TPMEC.

You'll be missed. Good luck and I'll be sure to check out the new site!

Great for you! Just heard the news that we'll have to rake muck without you here. Of course I'll be checking on your new location to see what Drudgery your passing off over there ;-)

Peace

Best of luck, Greg. I'll have to check you out over at WaPo. You'll be missed here at TPM. Cheers!

Happy Trails!

O Greg! Damn.

I couldn't be happier for you, but this is a blow to TPM. You've been the heart and soul of this page. Thank you for everything and I'll be seeing you over at WaPo.

And comments still isn't working for me...

Best of luck Greg - you'll be missed here, but I'll be reading you over at WaPo. Hopefully Froomkin will also have a role there after the excellent work he's done on the GWB administration.

All the best & many, many more HRC stories in 2009 :).

Greg,

You've done great work at TPM and you'll be missed. TPM is the first place I turn to in the morning and the news source I trust the most. You'll bring some much needed talent to the Washington Post blogs.

Good luck!

Greg, I've found you to be one of the very few bloggers worth reading post-election. I can't tell you how sorely you'll be missed here. But at least you're not leaving the web, or the blogosphere. I'm glad you'll still be around, if at a different venue. Thank you for all your hard work. It really made the difference to more people than you might realize.

Best of luck!

Good luck, Greg. I've been a fan since the TAP version of the Horse's Mouth, so I'll certainly be looking for you over at the WaPo. The politics coverage at the Post online is already much better than the hidebound stuff in the dead-tree version, and I'm looking forward to further improvements once your new gig gets started.

TPM is the Montreal Expos of political reporting, developing great talent, which is then seized by the big-market teams. Which makes you Vladimir Guerrero, Greg. Congratulations.

It would be impossible to adequately express the gratitude I as a reader have for you, Greg. Although I often disagreed with you during the primary, your insight (along with Josh's) was regularly the first I looked forward to reading in response to any developments in the world of politics. It will be sad to see you leave my favorite site; but maybe your insights will actually give me a reason to value reading anything from the Post! Very best of luck...

Thanks for all of your work and contributions, Justin. I've enjoyed your writing for years.

It'll be interesting to see "The Horse's Mouth" taken over to WashPo. Try not to let the fame and glory go to your head!

And, at some point a TPM alumni page would be pretty interesting. Seems like people leave to prestigious posts. All a credit to the staff and Publisher Marshall.

Good luck Greg, keep up the good work. I just hope working for Fred Hiatt isn't too much of a letdown after working for Josh.

Arghhh! Puny human make Hulk sob.

Best wishes, looking forward to reading your WaPo stuff, etc.

Good luck, brother. I'll be reading.

Congratulations and good luck. Keep up the great work and I'm sure we'll all be bookmarking your new home. WaPo is lucky to get you in my opinion and they really need someone of your talent. Tell Broder to kiss my ass for me please.

Nice to see there's still some vestige of a meritocracy in this land. Best of luck and we'll see you there.

Goodness, Greg, I haven't commented in so long I had to update my profile.

Thank you for your daily companionship, guidance, insights, provocations (followed by thrown gauntlets, trash talk, foaming, sturming and dranging from this passionate group) all through the thrilling campaign season. Most days this was the coolest place to be, which is why I had to unplug lest I lose my day job!

I won't miss you, because I'll seek you out at wapo. What an exciting time for you to be in DC (not sure if you're at TPM world hq in NYC or not). Best of luck and happy new year!

That's a real sad sad story.

Fred Johnson ain't gonna get hit. Feel me?

How will we find the new blog? Does it have a name or do you have a byline? Good luck to you, in any case.

Best of luck, Greg. I've enjoyed your humor here and you certainly have put up with us ribbing you, with grace. I'm glad we all got to know you a bit and certainly look forward to reading you there at the WaPo site.

Best of luck, Greg. Sounds like you got a sweet new gig.

It's a measure of the classy operation that Josh is building here that people like you can develop and grow and take advantage of such opportunities.

I'll be looking for your new blog.

Wow Greg - Looks like all those months of shilling for Hillary paid off.

KIDDING! Couldn't resist one last shot. Good luck at WaPo and thanks for all your hard work. Seriously.

Greg, you have demonstrated that it's possible to cover politics without drinking Kool-Aid.

Thanks for your efforts.

little ole jim

When you see Fred Hiatt, could you wallop him in the face?

Just once? Just for me?

Sorry to see you go Greg but I'm happy that you've gotten what sounds to be like a good opportunity. Best of luck to you and I can't wait to hear more about the new WaPo blog.

Thanks for all that you've done while you've been here, Greg. And, I look forward to seeing what you do over at WaPo. Congratulations!

Congrats, Greg! I'll miss your commentary here, so I'll be sure to check out the new blog.

Greg,

I can't tell you how happy I am that the "establishment" organizations have realized the importance of hiring actual journalist bloggers to write blogs, instead of folks who think that blogging is easy so, of course, ANY journalist can successfully blog (witness the blogging disasters of Chris Cilizza, Joe, klein, etc.).

I hope that this will present on opportunity to explain to other journalists how the differences and similarities of blogging and journalism, and what a journalist/blogger is and does. Explaining this has been a particularly steep learning curve, and watching mainstream media's attempt to throw journalists into blogging has been as painful as watching the auditions for American Idol. Oy.

Glad you will be there to offer the opportunity to educate those who want to learn, since you learned from the best (meaning both Josh, and his community).

Though I have disagreed with your writing on a number of occasions, I have always thought that your views were well thought out, organized, researched, and intelligently presented.

Thank you for you work, and good luck in your future. I look forward to reading you in the pages of a newly refreshed WaPo.

Many thanks to your wife for her support. You are correct that it's as much her success as yours. Get her something nice. Really nice.

Again, good luck to you both, Greg.

Best wishes Greg.

GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

All the best to you with your new gig, Greg! Here's hoping you will help to provide some balance at the overwhelmingly conservative WaPo. Hang with Dan Froomkin and fight the power!

May you continue to do a great job of reporting and of reporting the truth regardless of whose ox may be gored!

My hope is that you not only do well in your new job, but that you are now and will remain permanently inoculated against the corporate media mediocrity! I pray the reverse may be true that you will infect them with an antidote to their toadying for the rich and powerful and how they shut out any news that doesn't fit their predetermined notions of how the story should go. Maybe they'll decide to become a news operation again, but that may be too much to ask for.

I hope that you will never start allowing the fact that you make more money, etc... to cause you to lose sight of what the common, average person's life is like (cause it's nothing like what the typical WAPO employee experiences). Stay real. Do not allow yourself to become absorbed by the corporate Borg!

Best wishes!

Well dang! I guess I'll just have to delete my link to the Horses Mouth. I kept hoping it would start up again.

I'm really happy for you, but I'm going to miss you.

Thanks for everything, and good luck! I'm sure we'll keep the porch light on for you.

Sad to see you and your amazing contributions leaving the TPM fold, and am appreciative for all your efforts in building and maintaining the level of quality and reportage at TPM.

That said, I'm very eager and energized in following you over to your new WaPo blog and look forward to becoming a part of your readership community with my continued support.

hey, great good luck in your new (paying) gig, greg!

i've always enjoyed your stuff! couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.

All the best Greg.

Little late, but wanted to add one more voice to the chorus. Really appreciated your work over the last couple years. (Sorry I never got my scanner issues resolved, but looked like you ended up getting those crazy mailers from other sources.) Will be checking you out at WaPo. Best wishes.

Congratulations Greg! You did a great job during the election season, and you made it even more interesting, aggrevating, and fun. You'll be missed here, but I look forward to reading you at WaPo. After the crazy primary, the bond has been cemented. You will always be part of the TPM family to me. Stay away from any tire swings. :)

Congratulations from one of the trolls.

That is great! Although we will miss you here. The WaPo needs you. Badly. I read the Post every day, so I will be seeing you there!

Doh. I've been off the bloggin for a few weeks and casually come back to this news. Well, congratulations!! I'll try and check out the new site. But as has been said before, we'll miss you here.

Congratulations Greg. You and Horses Mouth drew me to TPM, I guess I'll have to follow you over to wapo. And here I just emailed Josh about bringing back Horses Mouth!

Greg;
You come from a long and growing conga-line of serious journailists who have graduated from TPM Academy and danced their way into that shadowy world we call the MSM, hopefully to right the wrongs of print and broadcast journalism that have magnified so agregiously over the past 8 years.

Good luck, and never forget where you came from.

The Blogs may seem to some a crazed, chaotic compendium, but when we look back a hundred years from now, we will recognize that they are the womb from whence our fresh crop of reporters and writers was birthed.

See you at the WaPo, and say "Hey" to Cillizza and his crew for me. I used to blog at The FIx a lot, but graduated to TPM after the 2006 elections.
