BREAKING: Garrison Keillor says he's been fired by Minnesota Public Radio over allegations of inappropriate behavior.
And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
funny how all these folks are left leaning dems.....oh, wait...there are very few right leaning anything in the media, so odds are against any of them being pervs.
ReplyDeleteIt's like someone said, they made the rules, and now they are unhappy because they are being made to live by them. The torpedo has circled back and blown up against the hull.
Delete...now, there's an analogy one can visualize!
DeletePersonally, I think there needs to be more than just allegations, no matter WHO is involved.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first heard about Lauer, my first impression was that his enemies might be trying to get rid of him with rank allegations. Now I find out he was scum, and richly deserved what he's getting. I told my wife how amazed I was that a grown man, a professional, could let himself do that kind of thing, but if you have no moral grounding, then the rule apparently is that you do what you can get away with.
DeleteI just cannot understand what possesses people to act like that.
Amidst all the "I'm just shocked" comments flooding the public commentary, let me offer this:
ReplyDeleteWhat I "just cannot understand" is why anybody is surprised by any of this.. Is there a grown man who didn't spot these guys for pimps decades ago? Charlie Rose, Matt Lauer, Garrison Keillor - every one of these Alan Alda wannabes has gotten over since the '70s by pitching themselves to our women as the only guy who understands them - and women for the most part bought it lock, stock and barrel.
Male "feminists" didn't get over on women because they abused their power over them, women willingly gave it up because they colluded in being lied to, in the hopes that their princess dreams would be fulfilled by somebody who wouldn't expect anything in return. What we're watching is the end game of "feminism," where the real agenda is being exposed.
I say again, these guys are pimps. The only mystery is why supposedly adult and intelligent women are so gullible and can't see through them.
