Keillor...suffer bitch. We’ve had to endure your snarly uppity tirades disguised as humor for too long.
Winning!
Garrison, you are 75-years-old! You’ll be moving south soon. You think things are hot now?
Good one.
Oops. I almost forgot.
"Russia, Russia, Russia!"
NOT SO FAST, Garrison. Let’s see what may be coming down the road. Right, officers?
