When I was young and foolish ( as opposed to old and foolish like I am now!) I did not understand how truly mean-spirited Keillor really was.
Haven't listened to him for years.
First time I saw him he looked like a very angry man.
Gosh, we agree about something.
He is VERY talented, and (like the little girl with the little curl) when he's good, he's very, very good.
But a majorly guiltridden, hateful, spiteful man.

Go to the link and listen, GK was actually VERY respectful and nice in his comments. Seriously. Listen to them. It is only a couple idiots in the audience cheering, and I bet they felt stupid as it was clearly innapropriate - even with this crowd.
Used to listen to him, but not since Clinton was elected.
To all who have learned that Garrison Keeler has insulted and hurt many people. A couple of days ago, the man's program broke my heart. He started talking about adoption. He said a woman tried to leave her baby on door steps, tried the hospital, fire station, etc, and no one would take the baby. Then she found a good door stop in Chicago and was able to leave her baby there. Then on her death bed, she told her number 2 son what had happened and wanted him to find him. Such talk hurts millions and millions of birth mothers who had to surrender children for many different reasons. This hurts adoptees to hear about a birth mother trying to ditch her baby! I began crying and crying and then I became mad. If a radio has to play Garrison Keeler, then I refuse to listen to that station. I am asking all of you who have been touched by adoption to write or call your radio station and ask them to replace Prarie Home Companion.
