Salt Lake Tribune ^ | June 10, 2006 | Garrison Keillor

[wita]

Talent is a relative subject, and certain good talents are overcome by personal life choices that entirely negate whatever talent a person might have. In other words forgive me if I don't give a dang about your talent Garrison, because your life screams total idiot not worth my time. I don't care how good those buttermilk biscuits taste.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

Ranks right up there with Sean Penn in the apparently contradictory combination of artistic talent and otherwise imbecility.

[wita]

...and brings to mind, Babs, the dixie chinks, Mr whats-his-name, my favorite Revlon babe over 40, and a host of others who think they can say and do whatever they want without any consequences.

Initially this editorial was formatted even on the what it will look like screen the paragraphs were there, but somewhere between edit and post, things went bad, sorry.

...In other words forgive me if I don't give a dang about your talent Garrison, because your life screams total idiot not worth my time...

Hear, hear!

Garrison needs to stay in Lake Woebegone where he can control everyone and everything. What a wonderful liberal life that is for him.

[wita]

Hey, it's DG weighing in. Long time no see.

[Dr. Thorne]

Let's face it ...without the gibbering idiots of the Left listening to NPR so they can feel less alone in their hatred for America, Garrison Keillor would be working as a fill-in marsupial at the local zoo.

[DakotaGator]

Ships passing in the night ;-) Glad to read your post on Keillor's psuedo-intellectualism.

[wita]

Garrison Keillor fill-in marsupial, it does have a ring.

[MNJohnnie]

Well as usual the Mental Midget Kellior can do nothing but is screaming insults at the Speaker. This may make the author feel good, it does not make any argument for his side. Once again Mr Kellior, you show yourself a complete idiot, you lose.

[Hildy]

He's trying to get publicity for his movie that's coming out this week.

[wita]

The title alone turned me off.

[KC Burke]

Keillor offers no agenda and program by the ultra-left branch of Democrats, to which he belongs, in this opinion peice. Biting wit and word-smithing your feelings doesn't count for missing agenda and a plan to protect and promote the nation's agenda.

[Xenalyte]

Geeeesh. I could feel myself falling asleep just trying to read this. The faux folksiness overwhelmed me.

[antceecee]

Just another liberal standing atop a perceived victim ("g-a-y-s") to bark out his looney tooney message.
If you dare criticize or campaign against Pelosi, you must be homophobic! What a load of garbage.

[reagan_fanatic]

*PING*

Maybe you could add your artistic talents to this as well, Boazo!

[wita]

Speaking of the left, you certainly live among them if you are in MN. Not only that, but isn't MN Mr. Keillor's home? Your bravery is of note.

[Boazo]

You always get me laughing!

[MNJohnnie]

We will gladly export Mr Bombast and Fury Kellior to any state in the Union. He made his name doing a poor F Scot Fritzgerald impression in New York. Frankly we would be happy if he stayed there.

[weegee]

Pelosi is more than just a resident of a diverse/perverse town. Her politics are extreme.

But nice of this taxpayer funded boob to use a broad brush to paint conservatives as bigots. We hate commies. Get it right.
