Garrison Keillor slams Michele Bachmann to save Lake Wobegon

• Those Damn Republicans! If it wasn't for Republicans everybody would get everything that they ever wanted. We could just go to the money-tree and pick the leaves.

• PS - incent him enough and you can make him talk like Rush Limbaugh............

• entertainers are puppets. sock puppets actually. generally, they'll say anything they're told to, instead of strings or a hand up their behind though, they are controlled by the money they make. anyone whose paying them well control what's in the script they're reading from. Keillor's no different, he's a paid entertainer, a blank pallet. he'll talk about whatever he's incented to talk about.

• As an English major, I'd love to see all of the misspellings from the comments here turned into an ironic poem about intolerance and growing up in Minnesota.

• Lake Wobegon, smack in the middle of Minnesota - in Minnesota's 6th Congressional District, in fact - where staunch Republicans and loyal Democrats know how to live together without yelling at each other and what does Taxing Tarryl Clark do? She puts out vile ad's that are not fit for children. Garrison's made his living off of TAXPAYERS and his worthless endorsement isn't worth wiping my butt. I live in the 6th district and will vote early and often for Michele Bachmann.

• Garrison is so right. Bachmann is absolutely an embarrassment to Minnesotans. I can't believe anyone would actually vote for her and all her nutty ideas! I remember a time when Minnesotans were considered well educated and knowledgeable! What the heck happened? The tea party she belongs to just amaze me! Do they actually hold jobs? Get up every morning and put their little velcro shoes on and go where? Sit in the park and wait for goofy michelle to start speaking? If bachmann cared about this state at all she would move back home to Iowa.

• GARRISON DOESN'T EVEN LIVE THE THE 6TH DISTRICT WHY IS HE BUDDING IN HERE AND HE SHOULD ONLY SPEAK FOR HIMSELF AS HE DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ALL MINNESOTAN MICHELLE ROCKS AND IF YOU READ MORE ABOUT WHAT SHE'S REALLY DOING IN CONGRESS YOU WOULD KNOW

• G.K. is an entertainer and a mediocre one at that. Why he thinks we care about his politics i cant figure out. It's like going to a Steve Earle concert because you really like the music and then being preached to about his political opinion. Is this what I paid for! Really? Again, Entertainer!!!

• Garrison in 'right on' in his endorsement. The sixth district needs Tarryl Cark to represent them,not Michelle Bachmann, who is no more than a Sara Palin wannabe and using her elected office for her personal agenda.

• I like everything about Garrison and have attended the live shows. He is a brilliant fictional writer and better than average singer. Garrison has nearly as many people living in his head as the late Steve Cannon. (remember Steve-O?) BUT - Is it me or does it seem to you that the letter and post script don't appear to have been written by the same person. Has Garrison become his own writing company, like Tom Clancy? Would anyone be willing to ask him about this? While you're at it, why did the letter drop so late? This could have produced more revenue if some incompetent person had moved it earlier.

• >this garrison prick, is a plaque on society Oh Chad - a "plaque?" That's a screamer.

• Michele, I'm afraid is an empty shell that isn't worth it's weight in dried dog shit! She is without a doubt the most worthless politician in U.S. history and that is saying a lot considering we just went through eight years with a president that has the iq of a beer can! Good for GK. An enemy of Michele is a friend of mine!

• After the butt plug comes out. And he enjoys a dish of Chocolate Cherry Ice Cream, does Gary' read these comments? Ofcourse not.

• ....Garrisons face fell off last year, now it's just ugly skull. He seems like a human puddle.

• <i>this garrison prick, is a plaque on society , just another liberal dickhead... if i was... living next to him i would build the biggest fuckin garage his liberal pussy ass ever seen..if he bitched i'd woop his ass...HAIL,, EAST ST PAUL, YOU POMPUS PRICK! </i> Cool story, bro.

• Jeff- what does your comment have to do with a article about Garrison? lets all wear silly bands�, city pages has the same design and layout that this drugged up place had 25 years ago. bartel-hell.

• do you like bananas? do like skid-marks on your undies? do you like me?

• So, uh, what part of what Mr. Keillor said isn't true? What HAS she done for her district? From here it just looks like you tea bagging lot don't like hearing the truth.

• this garrison prick, is a plaque on society , just another liberal dickhead... if i was... living next to him i would build the biggest fuckin garage his liberal pussy ass ever seen..if he bitched i'd woop his ass...HAIL,, EAST ST PAUL, YOU POMPUS PRICK!

• Let's face fact's, Minnesota is broke. As an independent Bachmann is completely right, we need to reduce the size of the goverment. It's the only way to balance the budget. The tax and spend liberals are going to get a real reality check.

• Beyond his B.S. degree, the U of M should award Keillor an A.H.K.S. (All Horsemen Knew Her). Clearly, he personifies the quintessence of shameless stool.

• Michele says: "He and I are on the opposite side of our political beliefs. But I adore him," she told an interviewer. So Garrision comes out and slams her? What a dink! Should have done this 4 years ago Garrison. Well now the leaves are changing. Changing to multiple shades of conservative. I agree with Anonymous above- "Another example of liberal intolerance." Ya, so much for acting mannerly huh Garrision? Doesn't his pompousness radiate through his picture?

• garyson keeler is the imbarissment. altho i's kinda likes his eyebrowz.

• Tea parties are for little girls with imaginary friends.

• Another example of liberal intolerance.

• keillor is being pompous and arrogant again. his lack of graciousness is why i stopped listening to his stuff years ago.

• Good for GK. He's a smart cookie.

• Lot of hate on this thread. Is there a Tea Party going on?

• Mr Keillor, you are an embarrassment to many people in this state, and you don't live in the 6th district - what you think doesn't matter.

• Thanks, Garrison. You are one of the good guys, someone who has done much for Minnesota. Go Clark!

• Who the hell cares what Keillor thinks?? He's an idiot!!!!!!!!!!!

• Keillor should stick to humor. Nobody cares who you or any other "famous" person is going to vote for. You don't even live real lives.

• Thanks for this! Was a very interesting read!

• Dear journalists/editors - please learn how to spell. Complement?!
