Looking a little closer at Garrison Keillor's last creepy old guy dispatch from Charleston
Charleston City Paper ^ | Wed, Nov 29, 2017 | Sam Spence

Garrison Keillor, who pined so dearly for a carefree world consumed by mundane everyday life that he named his fictional radio town Lake Wobegon, is the latest major media dude to be canned for reported sexual misdeeds. Minnesota Public Radio, the distributor of A Prairie Home Companion, has reportedly cut ties with Keillor, the show's creator.

In light of that news, it's only appropriate to find that the last time Keillor traveled to Charleston a year ago, he recorded his adventures in perfect character for his recurring Washington Post column.

Upon entering Jestine's Kitchen, Keillor fixates on the first waitress who acknowledges him: I walked into Jestine’s Kitchen in Charleston, and a waitress said, 'Is there just one of you, sweetheart?' and her voice was like jasmine and teaberry. There was just one of me, though I wished there were two and she was the other one.

The mental image of lumpy Jabba the Hutt Keillor "doing the nasty" is more than humanity can bear. Say it ain't so!

He’s a jerk politically. But this is RadFem crap and it’s just more of the war on everything white male.

The new Salem witch hysteria.

Yes, you are right.

It started with thee left accusing a right wing senatorial candidate on flimsy, unsubstantiated charges, then denying him any semblance of due process.

It rapidly shifted to left wing targets, because they control the entertainment industry and media, have historically been exempted from all accountability, and largely are in control of who works, or doesn't.

Where will it end?

Here Is the Lefts plan, Make a few true believers take the fall and then HOWL “Why is Trump still in office”!

Impeach Trump and then restore the true believers to their former glory since the accusations were never proven.

Kellior and Franken. The dynamic duo from Minnesota. Birds of a feather going down together.

The accusations against The Grand Commander were adjudicated with the election - just like the citizenship or non citizenship of Barack Obama were adjudicated with his election.

Very important distinction

Why is everyone forgetting about Letterman. He seems to get to run around as some saint of the industry. He did all the same things. Admitted to it, with interns. And then got to keep his show. Nothing happened. I guess people can only remember a year or two back.

I imagine this will come back on Trump eventually, with others coming forward after many, many years.

Most of these liberals are going down on unproven accusations.

The Elephant in the room is why?

I am telling you they will use this stuff to try to get Trump impeached over unfounded allegations.

Trump will fight them and if there is still justice in this world he will win, but people are sheep.

Why are these guys going quietly into the night?
The answer is they are to be rewarded in the great cause.

This current wave of dominoes toppling began with Harvey Weinstein.

Dems tried to use the same tactic to take out Roy Moore, but it was a weak and utter failure, based on lies.
