Mr. Keilor's show is boring, and this athiest a-hole should be given a one-way ticket to Havana so he can entertain Fidel Castro with this pile of crap.
Yea, he's hilarious as much as the Dixie Chicks are musically gifted. The only difference in their political and moral views is that Garrison expresses his elitist ideas artfully.
And insult is an insult, regardless how it's delivered.
Okay. But his early Prarie Home Companion stories are priceless. Okay, I agree he's a scumbag!
Ask any Soviet emigre about the notion of a ''friendly Marxist'' (be prepared to duck, btw), and the one is identical to the other, bar only the different label.
Just put a little C-4 in his Powdermilk Biscuits. Even ol' Garrison might get the hint...but I wouldn't be willing to bet on that proposition.
I didn't know that Janet Reno wore glasses.
Living next door in Wisconsin and being aware of Keillor for more than thirty years, I can truthfully state that he does hate Republicans and has stated as much in a number interviews over the years. He also occasionally has an op-ed column where he enunciates his anti-conservative ramblings more stridently. The ironic thing is that much of his satire is directed at people of whom a very large percentage are conservative Republicans. Maybe the gentle humor was just a guise for the urge to be more vicious. But being vicious is not approved in the state whose unofficial slogan is "Minnesota Nice". But now we can call Keillor "Minnesota Nasty".
Believe me they're more than left-leaning. I haven't listened for several years now but the hosts at WPR (Wisconsin Public Radio) are extremely left-wing. NPR is not much better.
