Humorist and long-time radio host Garrison Keillor, of A Prairie Home Companion fame, says he might have to move out of the country after being ousted from the Minnesota Public Radio for inappropriate behavior.
Keillor, the 75-year-old veteran broadcaster who is married, confirmed his firing on Wednesday, claiming that it stemmed from an incident from years earlier in which he says he accidentally touched an acquaintances bare back while attempting to console her.
Keillor later took to Facebook, bemoaning his downfall after five decades of hard work and lamenting that he was feeling ostracized everywhere he went. The post has since been deleted, but the Minneapolis Star-Tribune got a screenshot of it. [ ]
In an email to MPR on Wednesday referring to the recent spate of sexual harassment allegations against powerful men in politics, entertainment and the news media, Keillor argued that the country was in the grips of a mania.
The comment was made in the context of the sexual misconduct allegations that multiple women have made against Senator Al Franken, a Democrat from Minnesota whom Keillor defended in a newspaper column a day earlier.

Going Polanski on us, then.
Wisconsin does not want!
Buh Bye.
GTFO
Humorists are supposed to be funny; that smarmy faggot never managed the trick.
He already said goodbye and moved to Sweden awhile ago. Don’t know why he came back.
And hopefully he renounces his citizenship so he can never vote again!!
Somehow I smell a lie.
After he leaves I guess folks can say:
Whoa, he be gone.
Going Polanski on us, then.
We could hope. But he doesn’t seem serious.
So tell us what or who you REALLY did, before you flee the country.
It’s OK if you text it from the airport.
Hes been living the good life in NY for years.
He has actually done this before.
Keillor...suffer bitch. We’ve had to endure your snarly uppity tirades disguised as humor for too long.
Winning!
Garrison, you are 75-years-old! You’ll be moving south soon. You think things are hot now?
Good one.
Oops. I almost forgot.
"Russia, Russia, Russia!"
NOT SO FAST, Garrison. Let’s see what may be coming down the road. Right, officers?
