Ordinarily--and I know I am in the minority in this, and will no doubt P.O. many readers--I find Garrison Keillor's writings to be too clever by half, dancing around his main points in such a way that I am never quite sure what his main points are, let alone whether he made them well or badly.
But on a few ocassions in Salon, Mr. Keillor has dropped his usual writing style and addressed folks directly, and the result has always been a clarity and reasonableness that is almost impossible to dismiss. This is one such time.
I applaud Mr. Keillor's thoughts, the clarity with which he expressed them, and Salon for publishing them. Whether or not this President is impeached--leaving us with (shudder!) President Cheney?--the case for the logic of that action grows by the day, support by articles such as this. Hopefully as the outrage grows, and the horrid facts continue to mount, the pressure on our other elected representatives will no longer be ignorable, and we can, perhaps, move our country back towards being a beacon of freedom and enlightenment again. I wish it fervently with all my heart.
