Gary Keillor has been depressed for the past seven years. Now he's happy and excited.

He’s a great entertainer. Just a misguided liberal

He doesn’t impress me enough to care about his opinion.

Well, that should wrap up the preening, vapid, elitist vote. Garrison Keillor is a self containing smug storm.

I didn’t know Keillor was a former NARAL pro-choice America president. That’s the way the headline looks.

His “folksy” program is a guise. Garrison is
dyed-in-the-wool, mean hearted leftist. There is nothing warm or
fuzzy about this fraud who portrays himself as an “awe shucks” down home good ole boy.

His endorsement of Obama is as anemic as an
albino toad. Heck, he look’s like one.

Lake Woebegone needed abortions to assure all the kids left were “a little above average.”
