    imo the man is so talented that it is important. This is the first one that I find somewhat difficult to believe, and it makes me sad, as he made actual contributions to Americana, and is not just some mere dog eared politician.

    I'm from the deep South but always respected this man, and northern Minnesota.

    He says he put his hand on her bare back. Then her lawyer called him.

    Keillor was funny as hell, a master storyteller. His Lake Wobegone monologues were incredible.

    Yes, actually it could get much better if, say, some underage boy accused Hannity of inappropriate sexual contact ... lol.

    Well, many talented people in the entertainment business have given us good works. That doesn't mean they know how to behave and treat women in a proper manner.

    Now, I don't expect most people to be like Billy Graham, to never allow himself to be alone with another woman that wasn't his wife or relative. But I've had dozens of women work for me over the years, and I've always had the "hands off" policy.

    Are you really sure that the boys at CNN would survive that scrutiny? Glass houses and all...

    Actually, it got better after I found out that Keillor got canned 15 hours after he wrote an editorial in the WaPo defending Al Franken:

    Al Franken Should Resign? That's Absurd.

    Heh - the WaPo takes allegations of sexual misconduct so "seriously" it publishes editorials defending this prog:

    So touching a bare back to console is now sexual harrassment? LOL The US is going nuts. Let us hope we return to some sanity and soon.

    I am a fan of this dude and always listened to his program. Pure Americana. I find the charge absurd I could understand it if he grabbed her breast, but to touch her back? Nothing sexual about that. What is next? If you touch a females hand, or arm? Liberals used to hug one another. I bet that is now sexual?

    Beam me up Scotty.

    He said it was her bare back. She had her lawyer call him. We are hearing from him, not her. They went punch drunk over this and this is a wave sweeping america. Not sure if it is for the good or not.

    Notice, no woman accused Trump of that. All they have to go on is boys having locker room chats.

    Look, do not mistake our posts as defending Moore. We defend the rule of law. This is very different than defending the man. And your side made me miserable in the 90s defending Clinton.

    I head that there were over a dozen women who accused Trump of sexual assault.
