Garrison Keillor Pens Open Letter To Trump, Calls Him And His Fans Losers By Andrew Bradford on September 2, 2016 Garrison Keillor is a man of many talents. He’s an author, a brilliant satirical humorist, and host of the Prairie Home Companion. In my opinion, Keillor is one of the best social commentators since Mark Twain. Now Keillor has turned his attention and wit to the 2016 Presidential race with an open letter to GOP nominee Donald Trump. Keillor began his essay by letting Trump know exactly how ridiculous he looks in that cap he so often wears, writing: “The cap does not look good on you. It’s a duffer’s cap, and when you come to the microphone, you look like the warm-up guy, the guy who announces the license number of the car left in the parking lot, doors locked, lights on, motor running. The brim shadows your face, which gives a sinister look, as if you’d come to town to announce the closing of the pulp factory. Your eyes look dead and your scowl does not suggest American greatness so much as American indigestion. Your hair is the wrong color: People don’t want a president to be that shade of blond. You know that now.” Additionally, Keillor speculates that Trump is trying to redeem his past bad behavior and the sullied reputation of Manhattan: “Running for president is your last bid for the respect of Manhattan. If you were to win election, they couldn’t ridicule you anymore. They could be horrified, but there is nothing ridiculous about being Leader of the Free World.” While he was at it, Keillor also offered Trump some advice on using a teleprompter: Don’t: “The teleprompter is not your friend,” he said to Trump. “You are in the old tradition of locker room ranting and big honkers in the steam room, sitting naked, talking man talk, griping about the goons and ginks and lousy workmanship and the uppity broads and the great lays and how you vanquished your enemies at the bank.” But perhaps most importantly, Garrison Keillor reminds the Donald that he’s a loser, as are his supporters: “You are losing. And so are they but they love you for it. Meanwhile, you keep plugging away. It’s the hardest work you’ve ever done. You walk out in the white cap and you rant for an hour about stuff that means nothing and the fans scream and wave their signs and you wish you could level with them for once and say one true thing: I love you to death and when this is over I will have nothing that I want.” Thank you, Garrison. We needed to hear that, and so does Trump. But it’s unlikely he’ll read, understand, or heed the advice.

A cynic might put it thus: Garrison Keillor is a man of little talents. He’s a so-called author, a sepulchral putative humorist, and wheezing radio demigod. In my opinion, Keillor is one of the most overrated and least-realized liberal twits. Now Keillor has gotten sepulchral at 2016 Presidential race with an open letter to GOP nominee Donald Trump. The microphone does not flatter Keillor. It sounds like he's announcing the start of WW3 at an undertakers' convention. He's just as bad on paper, spewing forth maudlin peecee commonplaces the Reader's Digest will always welcome. He's a baby-boom soccer-mom's dream of a media personality: oh-so-sensitive, totally VAPID as so-called entertainer, affecting an antique shtick clashing totally with his parlor-pink worldview, featuring valueless, humorless skits at which his audiences titter and guffaw like 6-year-old children. Is it any wonder NPR has him on every weekday? :-) _____________________________________________________________ USA! USA! USA!

If I read correctly, this person did NOT mention Butch Clinton.

Oddly enough, the terms of Bill Clinton were the last time we had a balanced budget in the U.S. Obummer, on the other hand, has increased the debt more than all the other Presidents put together. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
True...on its face. Sleight of hand and Congress went along with it.

Congress wrote the budget and bentmember had to go along with it. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.

Andrew Bradford and Garrison Keillor can fuck off and die in a fire. Their "advice" to Donald Trump is weak and ineffectual They CAN NOT openly support that drunken invalid, Hillary "I fell and I can't get up!" Clinton.

From Clinton to Bush etc the military has felt the ax, the welfare checks go out on time. Now is time to pay the piper. Twenty trillion of debt cannot, will not be paid, the day of reckoning approaches. Will it be world wide financial collapse, or a major land war? One or the other. Many learned men see one or the other within the next fifteen years. The house will fall, one way or the other.

Repudiate the fiat debt, like Iceland, and move on. Imprison the bankers wherever they may be found. Stop allowing the jews to rip US off.

Nothing will happen until the government does away with the Fed. They created the monster, they need to kill it. If Trump wins, he should demand congress act, OR HE WILL DO IT BY EXECUTIVE ORDER... We need a strong leader now, for better or worse, arrest Congress if need be. Stop allowing the jews to rip US off.

We were working a Northwestern football game in Dyche Stadium in Evanston, IL. I was in the student section. I cut a stinky fart and this girl in the stands was waving her hand in front of her face. The black guy that I was working with told me, "Eat some more beans, Tex." ROTFLOL That was the year they went to the Rose Bowl. The Quarterback choked. When they clinched the Rose Bowl berth, I had one college babe under each arm. ;) Big Juicy Prairie Fart !

In my 1st college, a great one become a party school and now vanished from the ground it stood on, the food gave me the biggest gas bombs in history. After visiting with a room full of my roommate's jewyankee friends I'd say "well, guess I'll be going" and detonate a big noisy one. After a while, as soon as I started the spiel they'd start yelling "No! NN! Don't do it!" :-) Why am I telling you this? Just to show the rank sinner I was, and how far I've been redeemed 8-}

That is a funny fact about the High School in Florida. When I was a kid in Drivers Education in High School, we were practicing parallel parking. One girl cut the wheels and turned to look where she was backing. But she forgot to put the car in reverse. She crashed the car and they flunked her. ROTFLMAO!

We had those cones also. But why on Earth that girl gunned the engine when she could have just let it go on idle is beyond me. ;) Our class had orange cones to hit.
