"Having listened to the recording I would say that Keillor handled the situation with grace and it was a nice tribute to Reagan from a political opponent. I don't expect people who disagreed with Reagan's policies to hide their policy differences and Keillor didn't. Nor did he dwell on them."
That was my reaction as well. Keillor did not disrespect Reagan in any way. A couple of audience members may have, but that's not Keillor's fault. There are idiots everywhere.
His tribute was fine. Not everyone agrees with President Reagan, but all agree that he served very honorably as President.
This thread started with a misleading statement, for which I am a bit angry. It isn't until you take the time to listen to the segment of the show that you realize that the reporting was distorted.
Me too. The correct thread title should be "Garrison Keillor pays respect in announcing Reagan's death on his show".
Perhaps Tank will ask the Moderator to correct it.
