This guy's been scamming America for decades. He shucks his folksy small town jive and the urban elite gloats in superiority. He panders to the NPR intelligencia by relating cracker barrel stories. The ridicule of flyover country is cleverly disguised as praise.
Keillor actually wants America to become the Soviet Union or Cuba, and he's got millions of well-intentioned American dopes thinking he stands for old time American Values. Scam artiste, indeed.
Exactly. He's a dressed up version of Michael Moore.
Even worse---the American taxpayer subsidizes this moron through the NPR network thus providing him a venue to sell his book and concerts and other junk.
