"(Full disclosure: Some years ago, I hosted a lavish BBC special, and, at the meeting intended to sell it to PBS, the executive from "Great Performances" said he could only sign off on the deal if I were digitally edited out and replaced by Angela Lansbury. Murder, he shrieked. Lest I sound bitter, I should say I am in favor of this as a more general operating principle for public broadcasting: For example, "A Prairie Home Companion" would be greatly improved by having Garrison Keillor digitally replaced by Paul Ryan.)" This had me LMAO. I absolutely loathe Garrison Kellior. His shows today, in 2012, sound exactly like his shows from 20 years go, right down to the actor generated sound effects nd the bluegrass music. You'd think people would tire ot the reprise of "The Best of Radio 1930," but I guess not. That Kellior smugly fancies himself prt of the liberal commentariat only makes it worse.
