Garrison Keillor on Donald Trump: We will survive this
Pioneer Press ^ | August 11, 2017 | GARRISON KEILLOR

Posted on 11/29/2017 5:39:07 PM PST by hiho hiho

So. We have a vulgar, unstable yoyo with a toxic ego and an attention deficit problem in the White House and now we can see that government by Twitter is like trying to steer a ship by firing a pistol at the waves, not really useful, but what does it all add up to? Not that much, if you ask me, which you didn’t, but I’ll say it anyway.

We will survive this. He will do what damage he can, like a man burning books out of anger that he can’t read, but there will still be plenty of books left.

------

If the gentleman stands in the bow and fires his peashooter at the storm, if he appoints a gorilla as head of communications, if he tweets that henceforth no transcendentalist shall be allowed in the armed forces, nonetheless life goes on.

He fulfils an important role of celebs: giving millions of people the chance to feel superior to him. The gloomy face and the antique adolescent hair, the mannequin wife and the clueless children of privilege, the sheer pointlessness of flying around in a 747 to say inane things to crowds of people — it’s cheap entertainment for us and in the end it simply doesn’t matter.

Are you still feeling so superior, GK?
He richly deserves being an unemployed molester of women.

I quit listening to him the morning after George Bush was elected the first time. I had never heard such a diatribe on the radio, I couldn’t believe what he was saying! (You just didn’t hear stuff like that “back then.”).

I always found him to be rather creepy looking. Without his show and books would any woman really take more than one glance at him? Wonder what else is in his closet no one knows about?

Projection, projection. The left always projects their insecurities onto others.

It's because his face is too small for his head.

I know someone who was part of the Prairie Home Companion stage crew. Garrison Keillor was describe as an arrogant oaf who treated everyone else as dirt, and did take liberties at grabbing. It got worse after his short stay in New York. Typical smug limousine liberal.
When Bush was president, he at times sounded like he was seriously off some meds.

Don’t go away mad, Garrison.
Just go away.
