Really? Because Garrison Keillor is pretty scummy. His whole schtick is pandering to people who fancy themselves leftist but who are actually Americana fetishists. His work is super sexist. And he feels superior to both his characters and his audience.

And if you’re somehow not 100% certain quite yet, be sure to check out this gem:

And to the grey I dismissed: bragging about how many countless women find you irresistible in an effort to mock your accuser is not a valid sexual assault allegation.

“If I had a dollar for every woman who asked to take a selfie with me and who slipped an arm around me and let it drift down below the beltline, I’d have at least a hundred dollars. So this is poetic irony of a high order,” Keillor wrote to the paper.

Keillor was literally the joke my boyfriend and I made when this all started picking up steam after Weinstein!! Jaw on floor. Not saying I don’t believe it, because I do, but we were trying to come up with surprise left-field predators and he was the one that we were belly laughing about.

Garrison Keillor Fired for ‘Inappropriate Behavior’ 1 Day After Defending Al Franken

“If you actually want to help, shut the fuck UP.”

To be fair, “inappropriate behavior” in Minnesota includes forgetting to bring a hotdish to the Christmas party.

Dudes. Bros. Gentlemen. And some Ladies*. Please. Stop trying to “defend” or “support” Al Franken. He admitted to it and apologized, and is now attempting to make up for it. Every time one of you come out calling what happened “absurd” or “ridiculous” you’re making him look worse. If you actually want to help, shut…

Screw that I don’t give a damn if they dig up Jesus Christ and fire his ass from the bible for sexual harassment. If all this ultimately leads to Herr Cheeto being impeached 1000 days before he gets kicked out anyway any “sacred lambs” that get burnt down and tossed in the trash heap are a price I’ll gladly pay to see…

“It’s been a gropey week here in Lake Wobegon...”

just a reminder before the “but Trump is still President” comments coming rolling in...

Republicans don’t care.

The End.

She has also made me more sensitive with how I talk about my skin. I had no idea that people could be suffering from giant black heads all over their bodies and the scaring it causes. I also learned how to treat my keratosis pilaris with face wash so I can wear shorts more confidently.

I also think her banter (playfully naming cysts, calling patients sweetie or honey) isn’t intended to be dismissive or derisive, it’s to keep the patient distracted and calm while a doctor is sawing into their skin. It’s the kind of thing I’d appreciate during a procedure.

If Lee’s channel (and YouTube, and the consumer internet for that matter) had existed when I was a teen and early 20s, I would have done far less damage to my skin as the result of what could be considered dermatillomania. I have a curated list of dermatologists and estheticians that specialize in different…

Team Lee here too. I’ve had bad skin (acne, occasional nasty cysts around my ears, eczema, discoid lupus) for most of my life and have really struggled with the psychological effects of those things. I like watching those videos. They reduce my urge to pick, and more importantly, make me feel like skin problems are…

You may have no idea, but do you know why someone would go to a dermatologist for blackhead extraction in the first place? I’ve never had anything like what’s typically featured in the videos, but my esthetician extracts my blackheads for me when I get a facial. It seems like having a dermatologist do it is overkill.

I’m with you. I’ve watched her videos and was surprised to read here that they’re considered exploitative. Many of her videos are devoted to ridding patients of blackheads, a practice she admits most dermatologists avoid since it’s time consuming and not medically necessary. For patients with an abundance of them,…

Team Lee.

She’s right; she is normalizing something a lot of people are embarrassed about and therefore less likely to seek medical attention for. There’s nothing exploitative about this since (at least in the ones I’ve seen) the videos don’t ID the patient.
