Garrison Keillor, the former host of "A Prairie Home Companion," was fired on Wednesday by the Minnesota Public Radio after the network received an allegation of "inappropriate behavior" against the radio personality.

MPR said in a statement it was “terminating its contracts with Garrison Keillor and his private media companies after recently learning of allegations of his inappropriate behavior with an individual who worked with him.”

I love it. These guys are the biggest pricks around. Keillor being the biggest asshol*. The chickens are coming home to roost. Laurer, Conyers, Franken. The Three Smucks. Love it, love it, love it!

Keillor said it was one allegation.
The company says multiple.
Who to believe?

WOW! That’s a big one!
Where will it end? They wanted so badly to bring down Republicans, but it isn’t happening.

They wouldn’t fire him over one “allegation”. It has to be a very believable allegation.

We need a new book, something like “Bonfire of the Virtue Claimers” for all of these ever so virtuous who have made so many aspersions against whatever “non-LEFTist of the day” was.

Still, it behoves all of us to remember that somewhere, sometime, the accusation will be less than good and some poor wretch will turn and ask where he goes to regain his/her reputation. Our current enjoyment at the discomfort of our adversaries (schadenfreude) will bite us if we are not careful.

I almost feel bad for lefties who are fired based solely on allegations... except they’re the ones who wrote the rules.

I keep wondering if the Lefties...now that they have exposed their own and created what amounts to a cottage industry...they will now start the flow of anonymous accusers coming forward to accuse Conservative targets? They MUST have a whole pile of them primed and ready to fire.

He's already retired from producing A Prairie Home Companion so what else was he working on to get fired from?

They jumped on Moore and screamed “The accusers MUST be believed!”. Now they MUST believe their own accusers. I guarantee all those Hillary supporters who jumped on the “dump Moore” train are quiet, too. That’s so funny! Almost makes me wish I had some liberal friends so I could laugh in their faces. Almost.

My understanding of how this cascading collapse of liberalism as the moral high ground started with Hillary’s constant attacks on Donald Trump. An actress was so upset by what had “happened” to Hillary (who had her space invaded during the debates)* that she wanted to show her support by relating her own experiences with Harvey Weinstein. Then, all these B-listers** came out to show their support by outing their tormenters...who all turned out to be liberals...about as far from Donald J. Trump as a man can get.

*Somebody put together a YouTube video showing how it was Hillary who repeatedly got into DJT’s space and not the other way around. I couldn’t find that one but I did find this on DJT’s response to the accusation.

**B-listers don’t have anything at stake. They have already been knocked out of the running for stardom; either because they didn’t respond to the sexual requests or because they did and the movie role didn’t work out. The A-listers played the game and won. They have power and prestige which would be diminished if people knew they had to have sex to get their big chance.

A liberal’s default reaction is to lie about it. “I did not have sex with that woman”.
Next comes distraction

I do not like Keillor because of his politics but I DO like his storytelling.
