Garrison Keillor’s Apology

March 19, 2007

Garrison Keillor’s Apology. It’s nice that he realizes he was out of line—but his apology kind of comes off like he’s blaming the reader for not “getting it.” Dan Savage:

The final irony, perhaps, is that Keillor didn’t apologize for the column itself. He didn’t apologize for what he said. He apologized for the “misunderstanding.” It’s typical of the politicians Keillor likes to mock: Apologize if someone took offense, not for the offense you gave.

    He can’t start the healing until he owns it ;-)

    It is great that Garrison has joined the conversation about the concerns with that article.

Have your say
