Donald Trump is done (Garrison Keillor)
Chicago Tribune ^ | October 30, 2017 | Garrison Keillor

Posted on 11/29/2017 5:53:15 PM PST by hiho hiho

It's so sad. Donald Trump is done. He couldn't get elected dogcatcher in New York, his hometown.

There are 14 recorded instances of him kicking small dogs, and I have documentary proof of all but two of them.

Plus many other instances of him running around grabbing women's cats. Knocked on the door, grabbed the cat, walked away. Just to show that a famous rich guy could get away with it. Where is the apology? No, the man couldn't even get a job as a school crossing guard in New York. Look at him leading his grandchildren toward the helicopter — thank God there's a Marine there to keep them from walking into the rotor.

Why is he so hung up on virility? Because the Army rejected him on account of bone spurs that you get from wearing high heels.

He sits at that ridiculous little desk in the Oval Office and signs a presidential proclamation as if he's Kim Jong Un or something and he holds it up like a kid holding up his school project that his mama wrote for him. The man can barely read, that's why he hates TelePrompter.

The same people who admire him tend to drive Dodge Darts and wear sweatshirts from schools they didn't attend.

He is weak. Weak on #s, weak on 1st Amendment, worst president in history. Failed @ real estate and now @ politics. His record = BAD.

He quit holding rallies in stadiums because nobody wants to go hear a loser brag about his manliness for an hour, you can hear that in any barroom. Only places he can draw a crowd are rural areas where billboards are riddled with bullet holes, shot by men angry because they can't read. He is so over. Totally irrelevant, exhausted, flamed out.

Let’s add the adjective “warm” to further flesh out “rambling mess”

I thought Garrison Keiller was dead?

I guess he had to pile on too so someone would pay attention to him.

Boy, if that was supposed to come across as absurd humor, it failed, big time. Garrison Keillor was occasionally funny when I heard his show in the 80s and 90s. Me and my conservative high school and college friends thought the show was a bit entertaining at times, then we realized how weird and twisted and limousine liberal it got, and finally just shrugged it off. All those retarded musicians he had on was the first time I realized I actually hated his show except for the teeny bits of intellectual humor that peppered the show. This is first time I’ve seen his name or heard of him in about 20 years now.

I remember when I was in college and tried to read William Faulkner, that was tough reading also along with James Joyce.

Garrison: You just don’t get it. Donald’s in the White House. You’re in the dog house out on the prairie. You lost!

A man who couldn’t get elected in New York? That’s a good thing.

“The same people who admire him tend to drive Dodge Darts”

I’d say they tend towards subies, old Volvos, and pre-GM SAABs. The younger ones ride fantastically expensive bicycles until they get stolen or until they get killed riding them by drunk undocumented immigrants.

Wow! what a bunch of incoherent nonsense! I suppose Keillor thinks he’s being funny, but it looks to me like Keillor has developed a serious case of dementia - for real.

Matt Lauer supposedly raked Bill O’Reilly over the coals for his ‘problems’ and turns out he is no better...


The interview where Lauer arrogantly patronizes O’Reilly for his women problems is LOL hilarious today. Heard it on the radio and nearly started crying with laughter.

Sad...I subscribed to the trib for over 25 years (even when I lived out of the area). It was my parents’ paper of choice—it was conservative—the Sun Times was considered liberal.

When Trib endorsed Obama, I quit for good!

From what I have seen, they have gotten progressively worse!

You have to watch this Simpson's parody of Keillor's performances and of NPR/PBS/CPB fundraiser telethons.

This is first time I've ever seen this joke.
I'm busting up laughing!
Thanks

G can reread this article every day for the rest of his life and it will give him succor when 4% economic growth becomes the norm in America.

We get it, Garrison. You gotta get your street-cred back after you got fired for sexually harrassing every person you have ever met.
