Keillor put Minnesota Public Radio on the national map with his Prairie Home Companion show. Now that he is in trouble, he is out, just like that.
The Salt Lake Tribune quoted Keillor recently in an account of his unacceptable behavior and subsequent apology to the woman involved in which he said something to the effect that, “She said it was all right and not to worry about it. I thought we were friends, until I heard from her lawyer.”
It’s a real shame that one stupid offensive behavior episode can destroy friendships or careers without the possibility of redress before punitive actions go into effect.
