Garrison Keillor: Finally, no need to pose as Canadians
Minn. Red Star Tribune ^ | 11/11/08 | garrison Keillor

Be happy, dear hearts, and allow yourselves a few more weeks of quiet exultation. It isn’t gloating, it’s satisfaction at a job well done. He was a superb candidate, serious, professorial but with a flashing grin and a buoyancy that comes from working out in the gym every morning. He spoke in a genuine voice, not senatorial at all. He relished campaigning. He accepted adulation gracefully. He brandished his sword against his opponents without mocking or belittling them. He was elegant, unaffected, utterly American, and now (Wow) suddenly America is cool. Chicago is cool. Chicago!!!

We threw the dice and we won the jackpot and elected a black guy with a Harvard degree, the middle name Hussein and a sense of humor -- he said, "I’ve got relatives who look like Bernie Mac, and I’ve got relatives who look like Margaret Thatcher." The French junior minister for human rights said, "On this morning, we all want to be American so we can take a bite of this dream unfolding before our eyes." When was the last time you heard someone from France say they wanted to be American and take a bite of something of ours? Ponder that for a moment.

And he's a liar too. The Democrats spent hundreds of millions of dollars mocking Sarah Palin's baby (and that's just for starts).

Garrison should do the correct thing ~ get that towel, bowl and a couple of big ol' Japanese knives!

This worship is really becoming sickening and has reached the point of farce.

I wonder if he remembers what happened to the last guy named Hussein that tangled with the American people.

I thought this Keillor guy was dead. He’s so yesterday’s newspaper.

Geeezus, get a shovel, a very big shovel.

What a load of manure.

Why is it that “liberals” are so totally disconnected from reality? Can they possibly be this frigging naive? Are they for real? Do they really believe all this baloney?

Thats toooo good a treatment for him ....besides, that is the democrat way ... leaving a mess beind for someone else to clean up.

Besides that I would never dishonor samurai warrior honor by a dirtbag copying the honorable samurai traditon where they found appeasemnet to their dishonorable act(s) by doing the honorable thing.

Instead sentence the little Minnesota bag fastard to eternal life stuck or sandwhiched between Helen Thomassss and Nancy Pelosi

We threw the dice and we won the jackpot it came up craps.

Hey Garrison...in a few years it's gonna suck to be you. Hell, Garrison, it's gotta suck to be you right now, and I must say that if I had your life and outlook...I'd kill myself.
