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.”

After having been subjected to Keillor’s non-stop bile on his “Prarie Home Companion, against conservatives, Repubs, whatever, anything but his beloved socialist dems, I can’t think of anyone I’m more happier to see getting fired.

I wonder if EVERY Hollywood starlet didn’t get in the front door by way of the casting couch. I used to think it was luck then it took talent to stay on top. Now I’m starting to believe they made their own luck.

I’ve always wondered how Streep made it. I’d be willing to bet she slept her way to the top.

What is remarkable is the absence of courage among liberal women andd the hypocricy among both sexes. It is all the me-too bandwagon with million dollar settlements and atta- girls from their fellow hypocrites.

The women and men are disgusting including the Cokie Roberts.

I have not yet heard whether the accusers in this case are male or female. With this guy I have my suspicions.

Regarding the incident with a woman that led to his firing, Keillor stated:
"I meant to pat her back after she told me about her unhappiness and her shirt was open and my hand went up it about six inches. She recoiled. I apologized."
Later, presumably still in remorse, Keillor stated,
"If I had a dollar for every woman who asked to take a selfie with me and who slipped an arm around me and let it drift down below the beltline, I'd have at least a hundred dollars. So this is poetic irony of a high order."
I double-checked. Keillor said that; not Slick Willie.

I think he meant to say "If I had a dollar for every woman who asked to take a selfie with me and who slipped an arm around me and let it drift down below the beltline, I'd have a wooden nickel.

What a smarmy, sanctimonious, overweening stuffed shirt he is. Just like most Progressive Marxists.

Lauer used a roofie to render his victims unconscious
Keillor just talked to them.
