Garrison Keillor, the former host of "A Prairie Home Companion," says he's been fired by Minnesota Public Radio over allegations of improper behavior.

Keillor told The Associated Press of his firing in an email. In a follow-up statement, he says he was fired over "a story that I think is more interesting and more complicated than the version MPR heard."

Wonder if that was the thread I put up by the same news agency.

I wondered that myself. It went faster than lightning.

[Mercat]

OK. This one makes me laugh.

I saw some idiot ranting about not one Republican resigning over this on Fbook. I am scratching my head over this...

Let’s put Laz in charge of a count.

Good riddance to a pompous insufferable ass.

Now if we can get that other smug ignoramus loved by the left, the pseudo-science guy, Nye...

[Dr. Scarpetta]

GARRISON K. said that we have a vulgar, unstable yo-yo with a toxic ego & attention deficit problem in the White House.

Remember when the Libs protecting Bill Clinton said you could ask any woman once for a Lewinsky and that was not harassment. Guess all those mainstream media Males are finding out the ladies do not agree!

[Strac6]

The hits just keep on coming!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems like they’re nearly all lefties. I never believed Moore’s accusers.

[FreedomPoster]

I guess his special prairie home companion didn’t consent . . .

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Be still my heart!

[TomServo]

Let ‘em scratch...should keep them distracted...;-)

Interesting. In one of his books the protagonist is fired from his npr job after a complaint from a young intern who belongs to a support group called Wounded Daughters of Distant Fathers.

[RitchieAprile]

tested for what?

[petercooper]

I agree. Moore’s the victim of a hit job.

[Drango]

This is NOT NPR. It is American Public Media and heard on many NPR stations. It is “public radio”, just not NPR.

May be a distinction without a difference.

Probably not with Lily though:

Bannon you magnificent bastard, I read your book!!!

[Constitution Day]

I meant “detested”. A thousand pardons.
