Garrison Keillor, who pined so dearly for a carefree world consumed by mundane everyday life that he named his fictional radio town Lake Wobegon, is the latest major media dude to be canned for reported sexual misdeeds. Minnesota Public Radio, the distributor of A Prairie Home Companion, has reportedly cut ties with Keillor, the show's creator.
In light of that news, it's only appropriate to find that the last time Keillor traveled to Charleston a year ago, he recorded his adventures in perfect character for his recurring Washington Post column.
Upon entering Jestine's Kitchen, Keillor fixates on the first waitress who acknowledges him: I walked into Jestine’s Kitchen in Charleston, and a waitress said, 'Is there just one of you, sweetheart?' and her voice was like jasmine and teaberry. There was just one of me, though I wished there were two and she was the other one.

He’s 75
And homely LOL
I have never understood how a man who could write so lovingly about middle America can be such a leftie. His Lake Wobegon stories are utterly charming and entertaining; our family has enjoyed them for years. And, like Matt Lauer’s TV cohorts, we can’t connect the creator of Lake Wobegon with the arrogant liberal he actually is.
“Sad”
I heard the supposed LAST PHC show in the early 80’s and it was the first time I ever heard the show. That was 30 YEARS ago.
There is no doubt that Kiellor has played this gig for long time and that he has a face made for radio.
What I want to know is why this guy is taking a tumble NOW?.
Remember when he moved the Show to NYC?
I do, and that is when I stopped listening.
What does Karl Bunsen make of it all?
Again, the elephant in the room is why is Keillor taking a tumble?
One of his funniest books was “The Book Of Guys”
It wasn’t a Larry Flint production
The guy became radicalized in NYC
Next they’ll be telling Patrick F McManus was never funny.
Charleston has the greatest density of great looking women in the world, IMHO.
In-PC to say? Too bad.
Hey...Letterman was accosting when it was still cool. He slid under the limbo bar just in time...Billy Jeff was the team leader.
Because women are no longer afraid to come forward.
Best dang breakfast too!
Do I have to have it served by a guy who says “hello myy name its Keithhh”?
LOL!
And then they will b**ch that men no longer come forward.
I am not excusing abuse.
How does one navigate this goat rope?
“What I want to know is why this guy is taking a tumble NOW?”
Because now, anybody can be taken down with an allegation.
That’s how witch hunts work.
His aim is poor.
The last time we decided to “Believe the Woman” without question was in Salem, Massachusetts.
And unkempt.
It will end when Steve Bannon is satisfied that enough of the swamp is drained.
I gotta get more popcorn!
That is the wider danger, but I think they are being afforded protection by the Libs.
They are in league to stick it to all men in order to get Trump LOL
