The most unfunny comedian outside of Soviet cartoons.

Every Keillor monologue has all the sparkle and joy of a non-denominational funeral.

We’re about the same age. My mom used to have him on the radio. I had no idea what he was talking about but his voice was pretty soothing. As I got older I would listen to some of his stories, but our parent’s generation knew him well.

He is Mr smug Whispering voice storyteller. You would know him if you heard him.

“The few times I have heard Garrison, he was funny, when you divide out his Leftist barbs.”

Yes, he is to the left of Lenin.

That said I often enjoyed his work.
Moreso after reading of a lawsuit charging that Garrison added a character to his show, belittling a former boyfriend of his then-girlfriend.

Garrison Keillor will be sorely Mist in Lake Woebegone, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.

I used to enjoy his radio show. It was funny and entertaining and original. When I saw his harsh and heavy leftist rants, it spoiled for me. An entertaining and nasty SOB.

Lake Woebegone - where all the children are above average and Garrison grabs their mother’s backsides.

Makes me ask this question again. Are these Revelations a coordinated effort from somebody? Possibly Trump?

The bit@h revolution continues. Every woman now has to tell us about everytime someone hit on them. If it isn’t forcible rape...I’m done with this.

Women are soon going to rule the earth with this “issue.”

That's what the Bible says will happen.

Isaiah 3:12 (KJV)

As for my people, children are their oppressors,
and women rule over them.
O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err,
and destroy the way of thy paths.

What? No more stories of Lake Wobegon? Didn’t they pay him enough to procure the required services around the corner?

This is proving Dennis Prager’s theory he’s speaking about on air now about big, vocal leftist views being a protective cover over some really poor morality and evil selfish behavior. That “holy leftism” is the shield to protect crappy people and help them look good and fool even themselves that they are scummy.

I used to listen to Prairie Home Companion before Garrison Keillor went past my limit for in-your-face lefty nastiness.

About 20 years ago, a daughter of one of my mother's friends had recently stopped working for either Keillor or MPR, and she vented about what an absolute ass the man was. None of what I can recall was of a sexual nature, but what I do remember gave me the impression that he would never hire someone able to deck him because otherwise he would be getting his clock cleaned.

This “game” had best have a scorekeeper or it’ll be revisionist history just one or two election cycles down the way.
