Yeah, that's the ticket.

Garrison Keillor, the former host of "A Prairie Home Companion," said Wednesday he has been fired by Minnesota Public Radio over allegations of what the network called improper behavior.
Keillor told The Associated Press he was fired over "a story that I think is more interesting and more complicated than the version MPR heard." Keillor didn't detail the allegation to AP, but he told the Minneapolis Star Tribune he had put his hand on a woman's bare back when trying to console her.
"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," Keillor told the newspaper in an email. "I sent her an email of apology later, and she replied that she had forgiven me and not to think about it. We were friends. We continued to be friendly right up until her lawyer called."

Still waiting on heads to roll in music industry
I enjoyed Prairie Home Companion in the early days, before he went further and further to the left, and more and more political.
>>We were friends. We continued to be friendly right up until her lawyer called.
This is the threat that all men face today.
I can’t quite picture this. She was wearing an open-back shirt to work? His hand went “up it”? I’m not sure what he is saying happened.
Garrison takes a while to tell a story, so maybe around this time tomorrow he’ll get to the part where he put his hand up her front too...
I hate to say this, but I’m not surprised that sex dolls are an emerging technology.
I’ve been married 41 years, so no worries here.
But in today’s climate, I can’t imagine going out on, or even asking for, a date.
A woman’s back includes much territory - some of which is restricted area.
Yeah, that's the ticket.
He is a sanctimonious fool and I’m glad he is gone, but, based on what I’ve seen so far, this seems like rather thin gruel.
Sounds like your hands move 6 inches DOWN.
>>>I can’t quite picture this. She was wearing an open-back shirt to work? His hand went “up it”?<<<
It’s very simple. He had his hand down the back of her Pants while he was grabbing her A$$ and they he slid it up her bare back so he could undo her Bra.
Those Lake Wobegon guys have great finger dexterity.
You’re welcome. #;^) -— LOL
“We continued to be friendly right up until her lawyer called.”
He can sure “turn a phrase” LOL!
Quite a few of these cases are valid and there are guys who are creeps who were enabled by those who knew about them. But for the cases that are exaggerated, not addressed at the time, or even not true, it trivializes the victims of real abuse.
She should have slapped his glasses off his ugly face and given him two black eyes when his hand, over which he seems to have had no control, slithered six inches into her shirt.
“. “I sent her an email of apology later, and she replied that she had forgiven me and not to think about it. We were friends. We continued to be friendly right up until her lawyer called.””
Never trust chicks. This is why they aren’t allowed in the mafia. He saw her upset about something and tried to console her. He woulda been better off to have ignored her crying and gone and done something good for him.
And THAT is where the future is headed folks.
“I can’t quite picture this. She was wearing an open-back shirt to work? “
Hey, just because she... ehhhh, nevermind. LOL
The modern day Salem witch accusation. Any man can be accused. Just a continuation of the pussyhat thing with it’s vile speeches.
That is until the "hoes" referred to in the Hip Hop songs complain.
Yes he is a left wing lunatic but I believe him and feel that all this sexual harassment BS is getting way out of hand........Given his fame and probably wealth, he was a prime target.............
As a side note, I spent many Saturday or Sunday afternoons lying pool side listening to his Prairie Home Companion.........I thought it was great.
