Funny how the words “Woebegone” and “Chappaquidick” seem to go together, no?

#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.

NPR … never listen to it.

But it seems every lesbian in the Boston area does.

Sigh.

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?

It’s rumored Obama didn’t even write Dreams of my Father. Ghost-written by William Ayers, some say. Scurrilous? Oh, dear.

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)

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 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.
