The speech was part of a celebration of the opening of University of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital. The facility is named after Gary Comer, who donated $21 million to the building of the $130 million state-of-the-art pediatric facility, the Maroon reported. Comer is founder of the clothing company Land's End, which sponsors "A Prairie Home Companion."

So much for Land's End!

Don't take this so seriously! Garrison is hilarious, I've always loved his work. I was laughing aloud at his essay. He's a good guy, a friendly liberal.

Apparantly you missed his vile rant after Norm Coleman defeated the sainted Walter Mondale in '02. It's here in the FR archives somewhere.

What a bigot.

Bigotry is ok if you're prejudice against the people on whom there is an open season.

Coming soon: Lions will eat the Christians while Hollywood cheers.

Really, folks. Keillor may be a flaming liberal, but he's a good American. It's okay to laugh at yourselves.

Garrison Keilor is a twit, and has been for years.

Liberals are entitled to act like sore losers now and then...to remind us how pathetic they are. But I was just shocked at the FR reaction to Keillor's recent speech. He's not George Soros or Michael Moore.

It's interesting that he says Christians are citizens of heaven. This may, for some of us, be true one day, but that cannot happen until death.

So logically speaking SCOTUS should interpret such an amendment to gether with the equal protection clause, and prevent all dead people from voting, no matter where they reside.

This move would undoubtably undermine a large demo'rat constituancy. He should think twice about the amendments he passes.

Ah, you stumbled on the word I was about to level.

The self proclaimed "open minded tolerant liberal masses" have identified themselves as nothing better than your ordinary household variety bigot. They are bigoted against conservatives, they are bigoted against Republicans and they are most certainly bigoted against Christians.

Know what else they are? Powerless. So they'll rant, they'll fume, they'll spout their ideology of hatred and bigotry all the while destroying themselves in the process as they come to the realization of what they have lost. They've sacrificed their souls to purchase power, a power that day by day finds itself further from their grasp.

What's got the libs all worried over is that on Nov 2 it was the Christians devouring the Lions. It looks like that's going to continue too!

I ment to say He should think twice about the amendments he advocates, not passes.

What a sick a*hole. Why is that so many "entertainers" are liberal?

Hmmm - perhaps the characteristics of narcissism, inflated sense of self-importance, love of adulation by others, shallow personality and vanity are more prevalent among liberals. Liberalism being a mental illness and all that.

He's a mean-spirited, overrated boor. The ONE time I listened to him he told a story about a young woman who was queen of the homecoming parade, having the day of her life. Until her ignorant dad accidentally crashed the parade in his sewer truck in front of the whole town, that is.

Probably a story he made up about a real chick who told him "not if he was the last man on earth", or something to that effect.

That right. He gets my tax dollars, while Soros and Moore do not, (at least not for their main income).

Definitely a VERY bitter old dude. He constantly complains about how deprived and unhappy he was as a child raised in a strict Christian household. He has made many anti-Christian statements. It used to be less ham-handed, but he has always made his living off of ridiculing people with solid, Christian Midwestern values, the very people he came from, and to whom he owes his living, if not his identity. He and Michael Moore are very much alike in that psychosis.

I wonder if this guy realizes that white males are not the only ones who are born again. I mean there are born-again people of every single ethnic group, there are women who are born again, there are democrats who are born again, the list goes on and on, and this guy just hurled his bigoted insults at all of them

It's a good thing you said his eye balls and not his brains. His brains would constitute only a small snack for one ant.
