“I put my hand on a woman’s bare back,” he told the Star Tribune by e-mail minutes after NPR’s statement. “I meant to pat her back after she told me about her unhappiness and her shirt was open and my hand went up it about six inches. She recoiled. I apologized. I sent her an email of apology later and she replied that she had forgiven me and not to think about it. We were friends. We continued to be friendly right up until her lawyer called.”

This is fricking insanity.

It's a fricking witch hunt now.

Glad to see that Hodor survived and is alive and well in Minnesota.

Keillor retired last year from his longtime radio show,
And a year later was fired. While this whole story is odd, Can you really blame him if he was seeking a new prairie home companion?
Does he post in the dick juice thread?

It is a witch hunt, but more of a $$$ hunt. You are not hearing anyone complaint about the regular Joe doing anything are you? I know it happens, but I’m not buying much of this stuff. I think these women believe they might have a chance to cash in and it is sickening.

NPR and MPR scrubbed all trace of him from their stations and websites. They pulled down decades of archived shows and are renaming Prairie Home Companion.
For them to go to those lengths, I think we're going to find out some disgusting stuff about Owl Man.

He was fired the day after his op-ed that defended Sen. Al Franken was published.
For those not following, 5 women have accused Senator Al Franken of inappropriate groping and harassment. There is even a photograph of one incident.

Word is that Ralph's Pretty Good Grocery, the Catchup (sic) Advisory Board and the American Duct Tape Council are all mulling their options....
Guy's Shoes reportedly have already walked on him.

This is ridiculous. Even if the man killed and ate 17 women of doesn’t negate that he made decades of quality programming, and doesn’t make those programs any less funny. Removing them because of an accusation of a back pat is just stupid.

I heard Walton and Johnson predict a month ago that Keillor would eventually be outed. Apparently has a very creepy reputation in the industry.

I always figured the guy was a pretentious douchebag, but you never know about people.

You sure they weren't just finding someone in radio they think is liberal to bash? I used to like them, but now it's like listening to infowars on the radio.

In case you missed it back from early November, NPR Senior Vice President of News Mike Oreskes, has resigned following accusations of sexual harassment.

Fair enough but in this case they turned out to be right. But I agree, you cannot really trust them on anything they say.
