Cilizza takes his lumps well:
What did I learn from doing Mouthpiece? That I am not funny on camera
(this will not be a revelation to many of you), that name-calling is
never the stuff of good comedy, and that the sort of straight, inside
dope reporting I pride myself on made for a somewhat discordant
marriage with the sort of satire Mouthpiece aimed to create.
This may have been the last straw.
