"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."
Somehow I doubt it. I've seen Keillor's show live three times and have attended an old-fashioned potluck where he was the guest of honor. He's affable and was perfectly happy to talk with me as I followed him through the potluck line getting our food.
Yes, he is a liberal. No question about it. But, he showed respect for Reagan in his comments on the show. To imply otherwise is just plain dishonest.
Whether you like his politics or not, his show presents old-fashioned family values, with music, stories, and more. He's an excellent humorist, but his humor is always good-natured, with never a hint of bad language or anything else.
It's easy to trash liberals, whatever they do, of course. But this thread began with a lie. Freepers are better than that.
I love his show too, and listening to him brings all my old Norwegian Lutheran relatives who are now gone back to me as if he knows them too, and what they are up to as if they are still alive.
I've seen him live three times also, twice here in Washington at outdoor ampitheaters, and once my dad and I drove to Reno to see him. He gives me and my ole dad, for whom emotion and affection is a difficult challenge, something sweet we can share. I'd defend that against anybody.
