Apparently, love for Obama clouds your judgment and changes history as well…..
From National Review’s The Corner:
Jonah, the Garrison Keillor comment you cite is really an astonishing display of ignorance and puppy love, of the sort I suppose we should now expect from the cult of Obama. Obama is “our first genuine author-presidentâ€? He has written two books about himself, the second of which was a campaign book of the sort that lots of office seekers churn out. Have we grown so postmodern that an autobiography makes you a genuine author but an enduring work of political thought and history, or a five-volume history of the American people, or a biography of George Washington, or a four-volume retelling of the conquest of the West, or a renowned history of the war of 1812, or a biography of Gouverneur Morris, or reflections on American individualism somehow don’t? There are LOTS of examples of pre-presidential books by men who would be presidents, and some are truly excellent and lasting books. Obama’s first autobiography is an interesting and well written book worth reading, but it is very far from a first.
I suppose for the Obama cultists, today’s real date is Day Two, A.O. (After Obama).

I really dislike Garrison Keillor. As someone who lives in a small Midwestern town, I find his stereotype-based humor as unfunny and offensive as Amos ‘n Andy. He smarmily sits above those he satirizes in his progressive ivory tower. I hate it when a brilliant show like Corner Gas is compared to Keillor, as if they are even in the same softball field. Brent Butt (his real name) knows small town people and loves us and is one of us. The ability to see humor in small town life is not the same thing as secretly despising and caricaturing the ignorant people who you think have always oppressed you by not admitting your superiority.

The leftist inner child is identified.
I grew up LOVING to listen to Prairie Home Companion on NPR. Then Keilor came out of the closet in 2007 with his anti gay rant and I’ve never listened again. Nothing this man has to say interest me anymore. Move back to Lake Wobegon dude. (This response brought to you by Beebopareebop Rhubarb Pie…Pie so nice you’ll beebop all the way to the Klan meeting)
But, but, he CAN’T be a moron! He’s appeared in the New Yorker!
It’s rumored Obama didn’t even write Dreams of my Father. Ghost-written by William Ayers, some say. Scurrilous? Oh, dear.
What do you expect from people who claim President Bush is the worst president in history? They cant even remember back to 1976, how do you expect them to know about Wilson or Jefferson?
NPR … never listen to it.
But it seems every lesbian in the Boston area does.
Sigh.
#1: Have you actually seen an episode of “Amos ‘n’ Andy”, or are you just assuming it is racist based on the attacks on it (which every single piece of media that has black people in it has been subjected to)?
That in mind, Garrison Keillor is truly despicable.
Funny how the words “Woebegone” and “Chappaquidick” seem to go together, no?
